Founder at Rx Group 🧬 Helping biotech’s bring safer medicines to patients, by finding them the best quality assurance talent. 🌎
There are pharma and biotechs out there spending too much time looking for a quality director or VP. The truth is, now is as good a time as ever to hire directly - IF you have the network, in-house infrastructure, and strong enough brand proposition to do it efficiently. But a lot of companies don’t have this. And they’re falling into a trap of thinking the perfect candidate will come along…and in the process, are turning away talent individuals, very well suited for their role. Over time, good candidates will get snapped up and the companies that don’t make decision quickly enough will lose out. This inevitably leads to the leadership questioning whether they actually need a quality leader and sometimes end up giving up on the position. Which then leads to frustration, over-worked staff, lack of clarity, and compliance issues. One solution is an interim consultant. We’ve supported three clinical stage biotech’s across the US East Coast this year with interim Heads of Quality. Quality is business critical. Whether it’s a leadership position or not, don’t sit on gaps in QA or QC for too long. The cost of an interim will be far less than the price you pay for the inevitable headache later down the line.
I am available as an interim consultant for a quality role. I speak the languages of both quality/regulatory and software development due to my 10 years of experience in medical device startups and my degree in computer science. I am also a project manager, who can skipper your key QA/RA initiatives to completion. Please contact me to know more. #available #quality #regulatory #medicaldevice #medtech
Thank you for this! Trying to find roles at my level is so difficult right now.
So true!! And many companies actually find that a consultant Head of Quality can be even more than a stop gap.
Absolutely agree! Waiting for the perfect candidate can be costly. Interim consultants are a smart solution to avoid gaps and keep things running smoothly.

4moVery true. Unfortunately, many young companies learn this the hard way
