🍊Our mission
We're powering biology's century with radically faster, more reliable clinical trials. Every new treatment needs clinical trials to prove safety and efficacy, but today's infrastructure is stuck in the past- driving up cost, causing delays and ultimately meaning new treatments don’t get to patients. We're fundamentally changing that- not just being a "better CRO," but transforming how people think about developing new treatments, so patients can access breakthrough treatments faster.
Our impact speaks for itself: Since March 2021, we've powered 100+ clinical trials involving tens of thousands of patients. We recently raised a $55M Series B from Balderton Capital, alongside backing from Creandum, Firstminute, Seedcamp, and Visionaries.
🍊What's it like to work here?
When you join us, you’ll experience:
High-Impact, Mission-Driven Work: Lindus is disrupting an outdated industry, giving you the chance to directly improve patients’ lives and see tangible results from your work.
Fast-Paced Growth & Ownership: We recognise hard work and outcomes over anything else. You’ll take on real responsibility, work across different areas, and actively shape the company’s success.
Collaborative, No-Ego Culture: Work with smart, driven people in a supportive and informal environment. At Lindus we break down silos, fun is a core value, and creativity is encouraged.
Ready to power biology's century? We'd love to hear from you.
🍊 About the role
We're looking for an experienced GCP quality leader to own and lead our Quality function across GCP Quality Assurance and Business Quality. You'll be the most senior quality professional in the organisation, responsible for ensuring that our growing portfolio of clinical trials across the US, UK, and EU meet the highest standards of GCP compliance, and that our integrated management system continues to support the business as we scale.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll lead on GCP auditing, inspection readiness, and regulatory quality matters, while also overseeing our Business Quality team (ISO and related processes). You won't need deep expertise in business quality - we have strong people there - but you'll need the judgement and experience to ensure both streams are functioning well and aligned.
The role reports into our trial delivery leadership. Three direct reports: our GCP Quality Associate Director, Business Quality Manager, and GCP Quality Associate will report to you from day one (these roles are all UK based).
This is a fractional role, engaging you for 2-3 days a week
🍊 About you
We'd like to hear from you if...
You have significant hands-on experience in GCP quality assurance, including planning and conducting GCP audits (study, site, vendor, process/system)
You have a strong working knowledge of ICH GCP (E6 R2/R3), FDA regulations (21 CFR Parts 11, 50, 56, 312), and ideally exposure to EU/UK clinical trial regulations
You've supported or led preparation for regulatory inspections (FDA and ideally EMA) and sponsor audits, ideally from both sides of the table
You have experience developing and maintaining a GCP quality management system, including SOPs, CAPA processes, deviation management, and risk assessment
You're comfortable providing ad-hoc regulatory and good practice guidance to clinical operations teams, particularly as trial types and geographies evolve
You have experience with eQMS platforms (we use Qualio) and understand how to make quality systems practical and usable rather than bureaucratic
You can manage and develop a small team while staying personally close to the GCP quality work
You have high agency and a bias for action
You are passionate and curious about our mission; changing how the healthcare industry operates and how new health treatments are developed
You want to experience work at a high-growth, mission-driven VC funded startup
You belong here! If your experience and interests match with some of the above, we want you to apply.
🍊 What you'll focus on
GCP Quality Assurance
Lead on GCP quality across the business: audit programme design and execution, inspection readiness, and ongoing compliance with ICH GCP and applicable regulations (UK, EU, US)
Provide hands-on GCP auditing of trials, sites, vendors, and internal processes - working with clinical operations teams to identify risks and drive corrective actions
Prepare staff and trial materials for external sponsor audits and regulatory inspections, supporting the team through the process and any required follow-up
Assess and advise on potential serious breaches, protocol deviations, and GCP quality issues, ensuring appropriate reporting and resolution
Keep current with evolving regulations and guidance, translating these into practical updates for the clinical operations and quality teams
Provide ad-hoc US regulatory and FDA-specific good practice guidance as our US trial portfolio expands
Quality management oversight
Maintain overall oversight of the Integrated Management System (IMS), working with the Business Quality Manager to ensure ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 processes are implemented and continuously improved
Ensure quality documentation - SOPs, policies, risk assessments - is accurate, current, and practical for the teams using it
Oversee deviation, CAPA, and vendor management processes across the business
Review clinical operations study documents in development to ensure compliance with current clinical trial regulations
Collaborate with our external GCP support partners (audit consultancies, regulatory advisors) to supplement in-house capability where needed
Team leadership
Line manage the Business Quality Manager and GCP Quality Associate, ensuring both streams of quality work are resourced, prioritised, and delivering value
Build strong working relationships with clinical operations leadership (UK and US), product/engineering, and commercial teams - quality needs to be embedded, not siloed
Contribute to the wider operations leadership team on quality strategy, risk, and compliance matters
