At PolyPeptide, we take pride in contributing to medicines that make a real difference to people's lives and health. Here, you

will become part of work that truly matters, every single day. We are driven by our core values: trust, innovation and excellence.

This is reflected in how we collaborate, solve problems, and uphold our responsibility for quality and safety for the patients

ultimately affected by our work.

We are a company undergoing rapid development. Our growth brings a fast-paced environment, change and new opportunities for both

employees and the business. Here, you will grow together with us. If you are looking for a workplace where purpose, community and

development go hand in hand, then PolyPeptide is the right place for you.

As Head of IT Compliance & Service Excellence, you will lead a global team of seven experienced specialists based in Sweden and

India. Your focus will be to provide clear direction, build capability and create conditions for the team to deliver with

confidence across IT compliance, GxP governance, computerized system validation and service excellence.

As a member of the Global IS/IT management team, you will translate strategic objectives into clear priorities and ensure that

compliance and service-management practices are practical, proportionate and embedded in daily operations. You will work closely

with leaders and specialists across Global IS/IT, Quality Assurance, validation, site functions, Information & Cybersecurity,

project teams, suppliers, system owners and the wider business.

The function operates across the full IT landscape, covering both applications and infrastructure, and plays a central role in

audits, inspections, customer reviews, certifications and risk management. With a mature compliance foundation and a digital

validation platform already in place, the next step is to modernize governance and validation for an increasingly cloud-based and

continuously evolving technology environment—without compromising regulatory rigor.

This is first and foremost a people-leadership role. You do not need to be the leading technical expert in every discipline, but

you should have the knowledge and judgement to guide experienced specialists, challenge constructively and make sound decisions in

a regulated environment. By setting expectations, removing obstacles and building strong collaboration across locations and

functions, you will help shape the continued development of IT compliance and service excellence at PolyPeptide. Based in Malmö,

the role offers significant visibility and includes representing the function in customer meetings, audits, inspections and senior

management forums.

• Lead, coach and develop the global IT Compliance & Service Excellence team, building engagement and effective collaboration

across locations and cultures.

• Lead support for audits, inspections, customer reviews and certification activities, ensuring structured follow-up of risks,

observations, CAPAs, deviations and improvement actions.

• Advance ITIL-based service management through clear process ownership, effective documentation, relevant metrics and continuous

improvement.

• Drive the standardization and simplification of governance and service processes, including ownership of the Kanban system,

such as Businessmap.

• Several years of experience in IT compliance, computerized system validation, IT governance, audit support, service management

or a related leadership role.

• Strong knowledge of GxP, GAMP 5, validation, inspection readiness and quality documentation in pharmaceuticals, biotech, food

or another regulated industry.

• The ability to create and maintain clear procedures, standards, governance documents, training materials, reports and audit

evidence.

• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the confidence to influence senior audiences and challenge

established approaches constructively.

• A proactive, accountable and mature leadership style, with the judgement to balance modernization and progress with GxP

discipline.

• A relevant bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience. Certifications such as ITIL, CISA, ISO 27001 Lead

Implementer/Lead Auditor or GAMP/CSV are an advantage.

PolyPeptide offers a dynamic work environment during an exciting growth journey, where you have the chance to both challenge

yourself and make an impact. With us, you not only get the opportunity to truly make a difference, but also to be part of a great

team where we have fun together. With favorable reduced working hours, time off on bridging days, and a strong focus on health and

wellness activities, we create conditions for well-being both at and outside of work.
