INCOG BioPharma Services Careers

Description

Working closely with the Director of Quality, the Quality Supervisor will serve as an integrated quality leader with accountability spanning both Quality Assurance Operations and Quality Control activities. This role is instrumental in championing INCOG’s Quality Mindset and fostering a culture of efficiency, attention to detail, and on-time delivery across manufacturing and laboratory functions.

The Supervisor will need to successfully navigate and identify operational and quality gaps in both the manufacturing environment and the QC laboratory setting. They will bring a balanced technical depth across GMP manufacturing oversight, contamination control, and laboratory testing operations — ensuring seamless alignment between QA and QC functions in support of compliant, inspection-ready operations.

The Quality Supervisor will exemplify excellent interpersonal skills and develop productive, customer-centric working relationships with subordinates, colleagues, customers, suppliers, and partners. The Supervisor will demonstrate excellent written and oral communication skills, with the ability to clearly and concisely articulate complex issues to a range of audiences. The Supervisor will thrive in a team environment but will also work autonomously, leveraging strong self-management and organizational skills. They will value process owners and subject matter experts and will possess a demonstrated ability to influence positive outcomes without direct reporting authority.

This role supervises Weekend shift personnel (Friday–Sunday). Two shifts are available: Days (7:00 AM–7:30 PM) and Nights (7:00 PM–7:30 AM). Candidates must demonstrate availability and flexibility for occasional support outside of their standard shift hours.
