  • At least 2 years’ experience in a quality, logistics, or regulated environment (medical devices, pharma, or similar)
  • Comfortable working with ERP systems (SAP) and Microsoft Office tools
  • Familiarity with quality standards (ISO 13485 or ISO 9001) is a strong asset
  • Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy

Languages
