Procter & Gamble (P&G) is a leading global consumer goods company, with Personal Health Care brands including Vicks, Pepto‑Bismol, and Seven Seas. We are seeking a Qualified Person (QP) / Senior Quality Assurance Manager to lead quality and compliance activities across GMP, GDP and HACCP for food supplements and help safeguard consumer trust across our UK Personal Health Care portfolio. If you thrive at the intersection of regulatory excellence, safety, and quality leadership, this role could be your next career step.

You will play a key part in ensuring products are manufactured, released, and distributed in full alignment with UK regulatory requirements and global quality standards. In this highly visible role, you will safeguard product quality, protect consumers, and act as a trusted partner to internal teams, suppliers, and regulatory authorities, making a real impact from manufacturing through distribution.

This position will be primarily based in Weybridge (Surrey), with alternative options available in Reading or Skelmersdale. Candidates must be flexible to travel periodically to the Skelmersdale site as required.

As the Qualified Person (QP) for Procter & Gamble UK, you will be accountable for ensuring that products are manufactured, tested, released, and distributed in full compliance with UK legislation and global quality standards. With us, you will:

• Act as Qualified Person for Procter & Gamble UK in accordance with UK legislation for Medicinal Products for Human Use, ensuring batch certification, release, and maintenance of the certification register.
• Ensure robust GMP, GDP, and HACCP compliance through effective documentation systems, quality and technical agreements, vendor qualification and auditing, and alignment with Marketing Authorisations and Global Healthcare procedures.
• Lead quality governance activities, including deviation management, CAPA definition and tracking, quality performance monitoring, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Manage critical quality events such as incidents, complaints, recalls, and withdrawals, acting as the key interface with internal stakeholders, authorities, and drug and food safety bodies.
• Prepare for and manage regulatory inspections and approve and oversee annual training plans to ensure personnel are appropriately trained and qualified.

Meaningful Work from Day 1: From Day 1, you’ll step into a role with real accountability where you will directly influence product release, quality outcomes and regulatory confidence for P&G’s UK portfolio, using your expertise to protect consumers and uphold trusted brands. You will be owning your part of the business and helping it grow, with continuous and supportive coaching from your manager and the wider team.

Competitive Benefits: P&G take a Total Rewards approach meaning on top of your competitive salary, which is reviewed annually, you can expect a whole range of benefits including: a double-matched pension scheme, private health insurance, participation in a stock ownership scheme, 25 days holiday and your very own ‘Flex4Me’ Fund which enables you to allocate a portion of your benefits package to the areas that matter most to you.

Flexibility: We operate a flex at work approach, with flexibility built into the role. Our teams spend 3 days of their week collaborating together in our offices or at our external partners. This is balanced with 2 of their days spent on focused work which most tend to do from home. Of course, we do a bit of both every day, but we encourage our teams to choose where they work based on the jobs to be done.

What you’ll bring:

• Degree in pharmacy or another formal qualification in medicine, veterinary medicine, chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry and technology or biology.
