Manufacturing Training Manager | General Animal & Human Health | Girona, Spain
We're working with a global pharmaceutical company headquartered in Girona, Spain, with manufacturing sites producing vaccines and biological products across both animal health and human health divisions.

They've created a brand new role: Manufacturing Training Manager - a strategic position built to own and transform how manufacturing training works across the organisation.

This is not a training delivery role. You'll be joining at a moment when the company has outgrown its current model and needs someone to build a professional, governed training function from scratch - with full strategic ownership from day one.

This is a Manager-level individual contributor role, reporting into the People & Organisation function, working across both manufacturing sites with visibility across all of Operations.

Define and govern the training and qualification framework for manufacturing - qualification plans, requalification cycles, competency matrices, audit readiness
Challenge and redesign how training is delivered - accelerating time-to-competency for operators working in complex, technically demanding biological manufacturing environments
Lead the digital transformation of training - LMS evaluation and implementation,



automation, data-driven KPIs, and increasingly AI applied to learning
Act as a strategic partner to Manufacturing, QA and People - not an executor of someone else's plan

You'll have a strong manufacturing or operations background - ideally in pharma, biotech, or a similarly regulated environment - and you'll have built up genuine training, qualification or capability-building experience alongside it.

Production Manager or Operational Excellence Manager who has owned training/capability-building as part of the role
Manufacturing professional currently running digital systems (e-BR, MES, LMS) alongside training responsibilities
Someone from a large pharma company where this kind of dedicated manufacturing training role already exists, who wants to own the function fully for the first time

Biologics or sterile manufacturing knowledge is a genuine advantage given the technical complexity of the environment.

This role is not right for pure commercial or sales trainers, corporate L&D; generalists without manufacturing floor experience, or clinical trials training specialists.

On-site in Girona area (split across two sites) - Spanish and English required
