Quality Assurance Specialist (GMP) Medical Cannabis Industry / Pharmaceutical
Dumfries & Galloway, Langholm, Scotland (Hybrid:
4 days on-site, 1 day remote)
Please only apply if you have experience with GMP in a Pharmaceutical company.
Founded in 2019, with 12 employees, my client is the only Scottish & UK-based medical cannabis pharmaceutical company that holds both EU GMP certifications and licenses to cultivate medical cannabis domestically in the UK, whilst also holding the licences to import and distribute medical cannabis.
Over the past four years, they've built a brand-new, EU GMP-certified medical cannabis production facility in Scotland - including a large-scale, high-tech greenhouse.
With all infrastructure and approvals now in place, they're preparing to launch their first in-house cultivated and manufactured medical cannabis medicines into the UK market.
Since 2020, the business has taken a dual-track approach:
building out its domestic cultivation and medical cannabis pharmaceutical production capabilities-including hiring a top-tier team, establishing R&D operations, implementing SOPs, and securing full Home Office and MHRA approvals-while simultaneously running an active medical cannabis importation and distribution operation.
For the past two years, they've been importing EU GMP medical cannabis medicines from global partners and supplying them to the UK market for patients.
This hybrid model ensures they can provide UK patients access to both internationally sourced and, soon, UK-grown medical cannabis medicines
With an experienced and senior Quality team of three already in place - including both an RP and a QP - they are now looking for a dedicated Quality Assurance Specialist to support GMP operations, manage the QMS system, and help prepare for the final stages of launching their own internal medical cannabis production operations.
This will enable the company to offer both UK-produced medical cannabis and internationally sourced products to patients across the country
This is a pivotal role for someone with a strong understanding of GMP principles and Quality Management Systems (QMS), who wants to play an integral role in launching a fully integrated, EU GMP-certified medical cannabis facility.
You will be working closely with the senior QA team to oversee and enhance all QA processes, ensuring the organisation not only maintains its high standards but also meets the rigorous regulatory requirements as they begin production.
Experience in validation would be a strong bonus.
Conduct regular inspections and audits of production processes to ensure compliance with quality standards.
Analyse quality data and generate reports to track trends and highlight areas of improvement.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement corrective actions for quality issues.
Train staff on QA protocols and promote a culture of compliance and continuous improvement.
Assist in the development and refinement of quality procedures and SOPs
• You must have proven experience in a Quality Assurance role in Pharmaceuticals / Medical Cannabis / Biotech in a GMP environment with at least 1-2 years' experience.
Bonus Points for experience with Validation
