Position Overview

Regal Rexnord is seeking a senior, business-minded quality, product compliance, and operational excellence leader to serve as Vice President, Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs. Reporting to the Executive Vice President and President of the Automation and Motion Control (AMC) Segment, this role will support AMC by building and strengthening segment-level standards, governance, operating rhythms, and cross-divisional processes for quality, product compliance, operational execution, and regulated customer expectations. 

This is a segment-level operations leadership role, not a traditional plant quality position, legal role, or government/regulatory affairs role. The role will enable AMC to move from division-by-division problem solving to a more consistent and repeatable segment model by translating quality, customer, regulatory, and compliance requirements into executable operating controls.

Key Responsibilities

Segment Quality, Product Compliance & Governance

• Translate maturity recommendations into executable workstreams with Legal, Trade Compliance, IT, Quality, Operations, Engineering, and Supply Chain.
• Support practical approaches for regulated customer expectations, including FAA concepts, FAR/DFARS flow-downs, evidence, supplier readiness, recordkeeping, corrective action, traceability, change control, quality escapes, audits, and customer-specific obligations.

Quality Systems

• Assess quality system maturity and strengthen common processes, metrics, management reviews, and visibility to significant quality events.
• Set practical standards for root cause, corrective and preventive action, containment, effectiveness checks, and lessons learned.

Product Compliance

• Strengthen AMC product compliance governance with product compliance, engineering, quality, supply chain, and legal teams.
• Create a segment approach to translate requirements into processes for product safety, labeling, materials restrictions, certifications, agency requirements, customer obligations, and compliance evidence.

Supplier Quality

• Set baseline supplier quality expectations and monitoring for high-risk suppliers, regulated programs, critical products, government programs, and compliance risks.
• Align supplier obligations with customer commitments, including flow-downs, traceability, documentation, change management, source control, counterfeit-part risk, inspection, testing, and corrective actions.

Legal, Compliance & Risk Partnership

• Partner with Legal and Compliance on quality, product compliance, regulated customer, supplier, and operational governance matters.
• Support fact development, root cause investigation, corrective action planning, and implementation for significant quality, compliance, customer, supplier, or regulatory matters.

Leadership

• Coach, develop, and elevate Division & Site leaders to build a high-performance culture grounded in accountability, collaboration, capability building, and sustained execution.
• Identify capability gaps and recommend practical resources, training, process, or governance solutions.
