• Acting as a quality advisor to stakeholders across the organization, particularly regarding supplier qualifications and quality agreements.
• Supporting the organization in quality-related matters and driving improvements to procedures within the management system.
• Performing internal audits, identifying opportunities for improvement, and ensuring nonconformities are effectively tracked and closed.
• Participating in preparations for external audits, management reviews, and supporting the CAPA (Corrective and Preventive Actions) process.

This position is based in Solna, Stockholm.
