November 2015
The environment is constantly changing.
Quality Assurance (QA) Specialist:
High level of stress with constantly changing priorities and needs. This is often an environment where routines - and plans to accomplish goals - are difficult to establish.
Career path: higher levels in quality or lateral moves into other areas of quality (i.e, move from documentation/training to audits). Also - quality staff can move to an operational area should they have expertise.
General quality staff need to perform: root cause analyses for quality issues, provide quality consultations on national and international regulations; documentation and process improvement; training delivery, ensuring quality of deliverables. Quality staff need to know what the processes and procedures of operations teams they support - depending on the company.
Bottom line: it's a challenging job. At higher levels it can pay well, at least in pharma.
