Inspector in GCP

At the Medical Products Agency, we work for the health of people and animals, for a better Sweden today and in the future. Welcome to make a difference together with us!

Do you have solid experience in clinical trials of pharmaceuticals or medical devices and a genuine interest in quality issues? Then this might be a position for you.

Our Operations

The unit for inspection of industry and healthcare is responsible for oversight of clinical trials, manufacturing, distribution, and systems for safety monitoring of pharmaceuticals. The oversight includes actors in industry and healthcare and is mainly conducted through field inspections both nationally and internationally. We also actively participate in the development of regulations and guidelines within the respective area.

The unit consists of approximately 40 employees divided into four groups: GMP/GDP inspection, GVP/GCP inspection, inspection of healthcare-related manufacturing, and an inspection office. We are now looking for an inspector in the area of GCP.

Your Responsibilities

You will be part of a team of four GCP inspectors who jointly plan and conduct risk-based oversight of clinical trials in Sweden, but also internationally on behalf of EMA (European Medicines Agency). As a new inspector, you will receive a thorough introduction to the inspection work tailored to your previous experience. After certification, you will plan, lead, and report inspections at various actors involved in clinical trials, such as clinics and sponsor companies. The inspections are conducted in teams, but you are expected to independently evaluate a large amount of information regarding processes and data. The work is primarily conducted at the Medical Products Agency, but inspections are performed on-site at the actors, which involves some regular travel. With more experience, international inspection assignments may also be part of the work.

It also includes informing about regulations in various contexts, such as internal and external training sessions, as well as answering incoming questions regarding GCP. You collaborate with other operations within the Medical Products Agency and are expected to contribute to the handling of oversight cases and the development of regulations and inspection activities. Depending on experience, there are different development paths forward in an expert role with us. We place great value on further developing our knowledge, and continuing education is offered continuously.

Your Background

We are looking for someone with a scientific degree in pharmacy, medicine, biology/pharmacology, or equivalent. You have at least 5 years of broad, practical professional experience in clinical trials, for example as a monitor, clinical trial leader, GCP QA, or another role within clinical trials that we consider relevant. You have current and solid knowledge of applicable regulations and guidelines in the area and good experience working in electronic systems relevant to clinical trials.

The daily work requires a very good ability to communicate in both spoken and written Swedish and English. We also prefer that you have experience working in an international environment.

Experience with audits, inspections, or evaluation of electronic systems in accordance with GCP requirements is advantageous. Likewise, experience with clinical trials of medical devices or clinical bioequivalence/kinetics trials.

Your Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone who has a genuine interest in GCP and quality work. You have a structured approach and good analytical skills. You need to be able to evaluate and assess a large amount of information and data from various systems when planning, conducting, and reporting inspections. You can prioritize and independently make and communicate decisions, even under pressure during inspections. You have high integrity and are also outgoing. The inspection work requires good collaboration skills, responsiveness, and that you are open to receiving and sharing new information. You are clear in your communication with others both internally and externally and value a good reception.

We place great importance on personal suitability.
