The posting, as Nurix wrote it

Director, Quality Compliance and Supplier Quality

Lead the Quality programs that keep Nurix inspection-ready as we advance through late-stage clinical development and toward commercialization. As Director, Quality Compliance and Supplier Quality, you’ll own the audit, supplier oversight, complaint, recall and inspection readiness programs that protect our GxP compliance across our CDMOs, contract laboratories and suppliers. This high-visibility role calls for both strategic leadership and hands-on execution.

Position Description

The Opportunity

• The Director, Quality Compliance and Supplier Quality is a leadership role within the Quality organization, accountable for the programs that demonstrate and protect the company’s state of GMP/GLP/GDP/GCP/GVP (collectively GxP) compliance: the internal and external audit programs, supplier qualification and lifecycle management, product complaint handling, recall and market action readiness, regulatory inspection readiness, and regulatory intelligence. This leader will ensure that the company’s reliance on contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), contract laboratories, critical raw material and component suppliers, and other GxP service providers is supported by a risk-based, inspection-ready oversight model.
• Reporting to the Senior Vice President, Quality Assurance and Compliance, the Director will apply quality assurance and risk assessment tools described in ICH Q9, ICH E6, and relevant regulations to identify and communicate compliance risks and ensure corrective actions are documented and driven to effective closure. The role is accountable for assessing and communicating outsourced-activity risks described in ICH and relevant global regulations: assessing the suitability and competence of each contract acceptor, defining quality responsibilities in written agreements, and monitoring performance over the lifecycle product or clinical trial.
• This is a high-visibility role with direct accountability across Quality, CMC, Clinical Operations, Supply Chain/Procurement, Regulatory Affairs, and external partners. The Director will lead a team of compliance and supplier quality professionals (contractors and staff) and is expected to operate both strategically and hands-on in a dynamic environment as the company advances through late-stage clinical development and toward commercialization while maintaining the agility necessary to introduce early phase assets into the pipeline.
