Technical Director & Responsible Person (GDP) | Pharma Distribution

Technical Director – Responsible Person (GDP) | Pharma Distribution | Gavà (Barcelona) Location : Gavà (Barcelona) – Hybrid model (3 days onsite, 2 days remote)

Salary : €55,000 – €70,000 + private Adeslas health insurance

Some companies simply comply with regulations.

And then there are those that have redefined global pharmaceutical distribution for over 60 years — connecting big pharma and biotech, building life-saving global supply chains, and supporting their partners throughout the entire lifecycle of a medicine.

With over 240 professionals and a presence in Germany, Poland, Switzerland, the UK, the US, and Iberia, this company is not just another distributor : it is a strategic, patient-focused partner with a clear mission :

To support its partners from drug development to delivery, ensuring innovation reaches patients at the right time and place.

From its beginnings in a small family pharmacy in Germany's Black Forest in 1960 to becoming an international group with 17 subsidiaries across 15 countries and 4 continents, its purpose has never changed : behind every box delivered, there is a patient who needs it.

The Challenge : Technical Director / Responsible Person – GDP

The Iberian subsidiary (Barcelona – Gavà) is now celebrating its 3rd year and entering a new phase of integration, transformation, and expansion. They are looking for a Technical Director who will not only ensure the highest level of compliance with Good Distribution Practices (GDP) but also bring vision, strategy, and energy to help build the next chapter from within.

This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. It's for someone ready to roll up their sleeves, solve problems, drive change, and leave a lasting impact.

Your key responsibilities (and why they matter) :

Ensure GDP compliance : You will be the cornerstone that guarantees the integrity of the Quality Management System (QMS) in distribution — essential for trust from both authorities and partners.

Direct liaison with authorities : You will represent the company before AEMPS (Spain) and INFARMED (Portugal), acting as a key figure during inspections, audits, and regulatory validations.

Comprehensive quality management : You will make strategic decisions on returned, withdrawn, or falsified products, approve suppliers and customers, and lead recalls with surgical precision.

Global quality involvement (20%) : You will participate in international initiatives alongside the team of Technical Directors in Poland, connecting Iberia with the global quality strategy.

Operational leadership : Reporting to the MD, you will work from the Gavà site with a team of 12, directly leading three collaborators (operations, administration, and warehouse), driving agility and team cohesion.

Real transformation : You will actively contribute to the evolution of a young subsidiary backed by a strong global group — integrating processes, improving structures, and accelerating growth.

What we're looking for :

Degree in Pharmacy and legal certification as a Responsible Person (RP) in Spain

5+ years of experience in GDP environments (pharma warehouses, distribution, or labs)

Strong expertise in QMS, recall management, and interactions with health authorities

Fluent English (spoken and written) for international collaboration

Strategic thinking, hands-on leadership, and a proactive mindset to drive real change

Availability to work onsite in Gavà 3 days per week and travel occasionally within Spain and internationally (1–2 times / year)

This role combines the strategic weight of a leadership position with the operational proximity of a subsidiary in transformation. It's ideal for someone who wants to make a real impact, build on a strong legacy, and be part of a project that continues to grow without losing its original purpose : keeping the patient at the center.
