Coordinate dialogue between involved stakeholders to resolve cases. Manage deviation cases from opening to closure, ensuring clear communication. Identify trends and recurring issues and initiate investigations. Calculate deviation‑related costs and support financial settlements. Ensure correct use of tools, workflows, and working methods. Contribute to action plans linked to quality goals and improvement initiatives. Share learning and feedback to reduce future deviations. Qualifications We are looking for someone who: Enjoys solving problems and working with different stakeholders. Has experience in quality, deviations, claims, or customer‑facing operations. Works with accuracy and attention to detail. Is comfortable managing multiple cases in parallel. Communicates clearly and confidently in English. Has a strong Quality First mindset. Additional Information In Quality Deviation Management, no two days are the same. You work in a global environment, close to real business challenges, where your contribution directly supports customer experience and long‑term improvement. We work together across roles, functions, and locations. We share knowledge, learn from deviations, and support each other to make things better, step by step.
