You'll be the key link between corporate quality strategy and site execution — guiding teams, shaping best practices, and embedding a culture of quality that delivers value at every step.

Quality System Leadership

• Lead, develop, and maintain the Business Unit's Integrated Management System (IMS) in line with IATF 16949 and customer requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement of quality systems to ensure they are efficient, value‑added, and customer‑focused.
• Support new plant launches, acquisitions, or reorganizations by implementing IMS structures and standards.

Audit & Compliance Management

• Train and qualify internal auditors to maintain a strong and capable audit network.
• Ensure effective non‑conformance (NCN) management, follow‑up, and timely closure.
• Partner with certification bodies during external audits and maintain strong compliance records.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Monitor and report quality performance indicators, audit trends, and process KPI achievements.
• Lead cross‑functional improvement projects to enhance system efficiency and compliance.
• Facilitate management reviews and ensure all IMS activities contribute to business performance goals.

Training & Support

• Develop and deliver training programs on quality tools, process auditing, and IMS procedures (FMEA, Control Plans, QRQC, LPA, etc.).
• Coach plant quality teams and process owners in applying best practices and problem‑solving tools (8D, DMAIC, 5‑Why).
• Support new or under‑performing plants with hands‑on quality system implementation and recovery initiatives.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering or a related field.
• Minimum 10 years of experience in the automotive industry (Quality, Operations, or Program Management).
• Certified Lead Auditor for IATF 16949 / ISO 9001.
• Strong command of automotive quality standards and customer‑specific requirements.
• Proficiency with quality tools: FMEA, APQP, PPAP, MSA, SPC, QRQC, DMAIC.
• Six Sigma Black Belt or Lean certification (preferred).
• Experience leveraging IT/IS systems to manage workflow and quality documentation.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and analytical skills.
• Ability to travel across plant locations as required.
• Play a strategic role in shaping our global quality system.
• Work across multiple sites and cultures in a collaborative, forward‑thinking environment.
• Be part of a company recognized for innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.
• Enjoy professional growth, continuous learning, and opportunities to make a measurable impact.
