CLIENT: Aizon — AI-powered software for GxP-regulated manufacturing

The Challenge

Aizon, a pioneer in AI-powered SaaS for GxP-regulated manufacturing, had spent months trying to fill a business-critical Project Manager role. This wasn’t a typical PM search — the company needed someone who could operate as both a technical implementation lead and a functional partner to teams like Quality, Operations, and Production.

The vacancy was delaying key delivery milestones. Confidence in the roadmap was slipping. Time was running out.

The Leadership Mandate

We were engaged to identify a rare hybrid profile:
  • A seasoned project leader with hands-on enterprise software implementation experience
  • Fluency in Spanish for both internal collaboration and client communication
  • A track record of deploying MES, LIMS, or AI/ML platforms in regulated environments
  • The ability to lead with influence — bridging technical teams and shopfloor stakeholders with clarity and credibility
This wasn’t about filling a seat. It was about finding a strategic operator who could restore momentum and lead high-impact, cross-functional workstreams.

The Search Strategy

We deployed a Retained Search approach designed for precision and speed.

Key actions included:
  • Mapping niche PM talent across Europe and North America
  • Prioritising candidates with direct GxP deployment experience in pharma, biotech, and advanced manufacturing
  • Screening for both technical depth and interpersonal fluency — people who could lead without friction
  • Leveraging our network to fast-track high-trust introductions aligned to Aizon’s culture and pace

Within days, Aizon had a shortlist of qualified, bilingual candidates ready to take on the complexity of the role.

The Outcome

Aizon made a key hire from our shortlist — a candidate who hit every technical, linguistic, and leadership requirement.

MITREC Strategic Insight:

Hiring for regulated manufacturing isn’t just about qualifications — it’s about context.

When the role requires cross-functional fluency, technical depth, and cultural fit across borders, you need more than a recruiter.

You need a strategic Search Partner who can deliver trust at speed.
