Senior Director, Quality Assurance

About the role

The Senior Director, Quality Assurance leads the Quality function at Nucleus RadioPharma’s Rochester facility and serves as the site’s senior Quality authority. This hands-on leader provides independent oversight of Quality Assurance, sterility assurance, laboratory operations, batch disposition, and inspection readiness for clinical and future commercial radiopharmaceutical manufacturing. As a member of the Rochester Site Leadership Team, the Senior Director brings a strong and independent Quality perspective to site priorities, operational decisions, risk assessments, and resource planning. This leader is expected to make timely, risk-based decisions, communicate expectations clearly, challenge decisions when necessary, and take decisive action when patient safety, product quality, data integrity, or cGMP compliance may be at risk. Schedule, cost, or customer pressure must never override Quality requirements. The Senior Director is also accountable for building a culture in which Quality is understood as a shared responsibility and consistently reflected in how work is planned, performed, documented, reviewed, and improved. Through a visible presence on the manufacturing floor and in the laboratories, this leader models integrity, transparency, sound judgment, and accountability; coach's leaders and employees in Quality expectations; reinforces the right behaviors; addresses gaps directly; and ensures Quality principles are embedded in daily decisions and operations across the Rochester site.
