Sourcing exceptional leaders in
Quality Management & Regulatory Affairs
We are specialist headhunters connecting the world's most capable Quality Management and Regulatory Affairs professionals within highly regulated organisations that demand excellence — globally.
Aerospace
In Aerospace and Defence, where the consequences of quality failure are absolute, we place leaders who set and uphold the highest standards of engineering and operational integrity. Our network spans AS9100-certified manufacturers, MRO organisations, and defence primes across North America and Europe, connecting organisations with Quality and Regulatory professionals who understand that in this sector, there is no acceptable margin for error.
Automotive
The Automotive sector is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century, and the demand for exceptional Quality leadership has never been greater. We work across OEMs, Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and EV technology companies, with particular focus on IATF 16949, functional safety, and the evolving quality demands of electrification and autonomous vehicle development.
Life Sciences
We're proud of our deep roots in Life Sciences, placing senior Quality and Regulatory Affairs leaders across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices. We understand the regulatory landscape intimately — from FDA 21 CFR and ICH guidelines to EMA and MHRA frameworks — and we identify the professionals capable of steering organisations through the most demanding approval and compliance environments in the world.
Robotics & Automation
Connecting experts that navigate regulations
Across the Chemicals sector — from specialty and fine chemicals to agrochemicals and industrial production — regulatory complexity and safety accountability sit at the heart of every operation. We identify QRA professionals with the expertise to navigate REACH, GHS, EPA regulations, and sector-specific frameworks, placing leaders who can manage risk, ensure compliance, and drive continuous improvement across complex, multi-site organisations.
Chemicals
As Robotics and Automation reshape manufacturing and industrial operations globally, the need for QRA leaders who can operate at the frontier of technology and compliance is growing rapidly. We work with robotics manufacturers, systems integrators, and automation technology companies to place professionals who bring both rigorous quality discipline and the agility to thrive in fast-moving, innovation-led environments.
