Job description
Overview
US Regional Quality Systems Manager – Growth Sites will lead and drive the integration and sustainability of Global Quality Systems for the new US sites to align with ISO 9001:2015 and corporate Quality strategy.
How will you make an impact?
Responsibilities
Lead the regional development, implementation, and long‑term sustainability of a robust and scalable Quality Management System (QMS) for start-up manufacturing sites, ensuring rapid certification readiness and alignment to ISO 9001:2015 and corporate Quality strategy.
Own QMS deployment for greenfield and early‑stage sites, establishing foundational quality system elements (e.g., Production Quality Basics, Core processes and governance, document control, risk management, audit readiness) while supporting aggressive capacity and capability ramp‑up.
Establish and lead a regional Quality Systems governance model for operations, ensuring consistency of quality practices across sites while allowing flexibility for differing equipment, layouts, and manufacturing maturity levels.
Define, deploy, and monitor Quality System KPIs appropriate for start‑up as well as sustaining environments, including system maturity, process adherence, corrective action effectiveness, audit performance, and readiness milestones.
Ensure disciplined deployment of standardized quality system development methodologies and structured problem‑solving tools, particularly for systemic issues emerging during early production, new equipment qualification, and process stabilization.
Drive the execution of Global Quality Systems initiatives across start‑up sites, ensuring new operations are architected to global standards rather than retrofitted after launch.
Develop, coach, and mentor newly formed Site Quality Systems teams at start‑up locations, accelerating capability development, clarifying roles and ownership, and building sustainable local system stewardship.
Ensure start‑up site Quality Systems objectives are fully aligned with regional and corporate Quality strategies, supporting certification, customer readiness, and long‑term operational scalability.
Build and sustain a regional network of Quality Systems professionals and subject‑matter experts with experience in manufacturing, heavy assembly, structural integration, and early‑phase site launches.
Embed a continuous improvement mindset within start‑up operations, transitioning sites from launch mode to stable, data‑driven quality system maturity without disrupting production ramp.
Act as the primary regional escalation point for systemic Quality and compliance issues at start‑up sites, including gaps identified during Gemba walks, internal audits, certification audits, or early customer assessments.
