As a Senior Technology Quality Auditor (TQA) you will have the experience and knowledge to provide guidance and facilitate the effective preparation, management and follow up of internal and supplier technology audits. You will exhibit a high degree of flexibility and initiative, demonstrate the ability to follow up on multiple tasks and projects, and possess the ability to handle confidential information diplomatically. The TQA Senior Auditor will play a crucial role in conducting audits that impact business operations, processes, and systems, contributing to meeting client needs and maintaining high compliance standards.

Technology Quality auditors possess significant authority and decision-making power within clinical trials. They autonomously assess technology, data integrity practices, and regulatory compliance, recommending necessary changes to ensure adherence to standards when deviations or non-compliance are identified. Technology Quality auditors also provide guidance on best practices and address compliance issues through discussions with sponsors, investigators, and stakeholders.
