Pharmaceutical Industry

The pharmaceutical industry depends on specialist knowledge more heavily than most other industries and while pharmaceutical companies remain “employers of choice”, the power to attract and retain the best talent in the market is no longer a given.

Overview

The pharmaceutical industry offers a wealth of job opportunities and career prospects at each stage of the drug life cycle, be it drug discovery, development or commercialisation.

The quality assurance function helps life science organisations accomplish their objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve risk management and internal control processes. Quality professionals are responsible for promoting and ensuring compliance with appropriate standard operating procedures and good quality practices.
