THE ROLE
At REFY, we’re redefining beauty through innovation, simplicity, and uncompromising quality.
As Quality Assurance Manager, you’ll play a critical role in embedding quality throughout the full product lifecycle — from early-stage NPD risk assessments and development through to production, launch, and post-market quality management.
Reporting to the Senior Regulatory & Technical Manager, you’ll collaborate cross-functionally with Product Development, Packaging, Supply Chain, Operations, and global suppliers to ensure products consistently meet REFY’s quality, safety, performance, and aesthetic standards. You’ll lead the development of scalable quality systems, drive continuous improvement initiatives, and establish robust processes that support business growth while maintaining best-in-class product quality.
