THE OPPORTUNITY

Parnell is on an exciting growth trajectory, and we are seeking an experienced Senior Quality Assurance professional to join our Leadership Team at our Menomonie, Wisconsin manufacturing facility.

The Menomonie facility is embarking on a significant expansion program, including the development and implementation of new sterile manufacturing capabilities and the introduction of two new products over the next three years. This investment forms an important part of Parnell’s broader strategy to expand its global manufacturing capabilities and support future growth.

This is an opportunity to join Parnell at a pivotal stage of its global manufacturing expansion. In addition to supporting the continued development and performance of the Menomonie operation, the role will play an important part in establishing and scaling Parnell's second manufacturing facility in the Wisconsin/Milwaukee area.

This includes partnering closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Technical Transfer, Supply Chain and other global functions to ensure that new products, processes, equipment and facilities are introduced in a compliant, robust and scalable manner.

The role will be instrumental in helping Parnell build a consistent global Quality culture and operating model, while ensuring that both Wisconsin facilities meet applicable cGMP and regulatory requirements and are positioned to support Parnell's long-term growth.

Reporting directly to the Vice President of Global Quality, based in Australia, this role offers the opportunity to influence the development of Quality Assurance within a growing global pharmaceutical manufacturing organisation as a participant on the Parnell Quality Leadership (QLT) team and be part of the establishment of a new manufacturing facility from the ground up.
