Director of Quality Assurance & Control

???? Lead Quality at the Forefront of Nuclear Medicine

Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma, Inc. (EZRI) is expanding its U.S. radiopharmaceutical manufacturing and CMO operations in Wilmington, MA — including the build-out and qualification of a new Lu-177 production capability that will directly support advancements in targeted cancer therapies.

We are seeking a highly capable, hands-on Director of Quality to lead QA, QC, validation oversight, and quality systems within a regulated cGMP environment.

This is not a maintenance role. It is an opportunity to shape and strengthen Quality during a critical phase of growth in one of the most dynamic sectors of modern medicine.

The Opportunity

The Director of Quality Assurance & Control will report directly to the General Manager and serve as a key member of the site leadership team. This role partners closely with the Director of Site & CMO Operations, Radiation Safety Officer, QC Manager, and cross-functional leaders to ensure compliant, coordinated execution of site priorities.

This is a highly hands-on leadership position. A visible, consistent presence on the manufacturing floor, in cleanrooms, and within daily operations is expected. The Director of Quality will actively engage with production, QC, and operations teams to ensure real-time quality oversight and decision-making — not operate solely from behind a desk.

A major near-term priority is supporting the Lu-177 facility expansion from a Quality standpoint, including equipment receipt, IQ/OQ/PQ oversight, cleanroom and facility qualification, and process validation.

This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in growth environments and wants to build something meaningful — not simply inherit a static system.

• Support qualification of Lu-177 expansion areas, cleanrooms, utilities, and critical systems

• Oversight of process validation and continued process verification
• Ensure method validation and QC laboratory readiness
