Wages above the floor
We pay above the statutory minimum at every grade, including on the line. A company that argues for affordable medicine while underpaying the people who make it is not making an argument — it is making an excuse.
We will not tell you we are a family or that we are looking for rockstars. Here is what is true instead: the work is demanding, the standards are higher than the regulation requires, and what you make ends up in the hands of someone who needed it and could afford it. If that trade appeals to you, we should talk.
We are not going to tell you we are a family, that we work hard and play hard, or that we are looking for rockstars. You have read that page before and it told you nothing.
Here is what is actually true. The work is demanding and frequently unglamorous. The standards are higher than the regulation requires, which means you will occasionally be asked to redo something that would have passed. The quality unit can stop your line and you will not be able to overrule them, because that is the entire architecture of the company and it is not up for negotiation.
In exchange: what you make ends up in the hands of someone who needed it and could afford it, and you will be able to point at exactly which part of that was your doing. Most jobs cannot offer that. If it matters to you, this is a good place to be.

Each of these is verifiable. Ask about any of them in your interview and you will get a straight answer, including where we fall short.
We pay above the statutory minimum at every grade, including on the line. A company that argues for affordable medicine while underpaying the people who make it is not making an argument — it is making an excuse.
Our incident numbers are what actually happened. Near-misses are logged without consequence to the person reporting, because a safety record you cannot trust is worse than none.
Comprehensive medical cover extending to spouse, children and dependent parents. It would be difficult to explain otherwise.
Structured development for every grade, including operators. We treat a line operator as a professional whose judgement matters, because on a difficult Thursday it does.
Every employee, at any grade, has the documented authority to halt production over a quality concern — and formal protection from any consequence for using it.
You will be able to explain what you did to someone outside the industry, and they will understand why it mattered. This is rarer than it should be.
Lead formulation development for extended-release solid-dose products, from pre-formulation through scale-up and technology transfer.
Develop and validate stability-indicating HPLC methods across the development portfolio.
Own the stability programme end to end — chamber management, pull schedules, trend analysis and shelf-life justification.
Review batch records and exercise independent release authority. Reports to the Head of QA, not to production.
Environmental monitoring, sterility testing and microbial limit testing across classified areas.
Equipment, process and cleaning validation across Units I and II, plus commissioning support for Unit III.
Run compression and coating operations to schedule without ever running them past specification.
Maintain and qualify air-handling systems across classified areas — the systems our segregation strategy depends on.
Demand planning and material scheduling across three units and 24 export markets.
Prepare CTD dossiers and manage query responses for registrations across Africa and Central Asia.
Own distributor relationships across East and West Africa, our fastest-growing region.
Handle healthcare-professional enquiries and pharmacovigilance intake with clinical accuracy.
Do not see your role? We keep every serious application on file — send us a speculative application
Send a CV and a short note about why this specific role. We read every one — a person, not a filter.
A 30-minute call about your experience and what you actually want. We will tell you honestly if the fit is wrong.
A working conversation with the team you would join, about problems we are actually facing. No brain-teasers.
An answer within five working days, either way, with a reason. Being left in silence is a discourtesy we do not extend.
Speculative applications are genuinely welcome. Some of our best people arrived before the role existed.
