1. Context
Sequans Communications is an ISO 9001:2015-certified company operating an international, multi-site Quality Management System. The company is preparing for its upcoming ISO 9001:2015 certification renewal and wants to strengthen its QMS ahead of that milestone, with particular emphasis on:
• The effectiveness and documentation of the internal audit process.
• Control of documented information (creation, revision, and approval of procedures).
• Supplier and subcontractor management and evaluation.
• Follow-up and closure of corrective and preventive actions. Sequans is looking for part-time external support to help drive these improvements and prepare the organization for a successful renewal audit. 2. Mission Objectives
• Strengthen the internal audit process, making it more effective, consistent, and well-documented.
• Improve control of documented information, ensuring revisions and approvals are properly tracked.
• Reinforce supplier and subcontractor management practices, including evaluation and re-evaluation of key suppliers.
• Ensure corrective and preventive actions are tracked to closure with proper root-cause analysis and effectiveness checks.
• Prepare the organization for a successful ISO 9001:2015 certification renewal audit.
• Contribute to strengthen Business Continuity Plan into the organization.
• Prepare for the transition to ISO 9001:2026. 3.
Key Responsibilities
Internal audit process
• Review and improve the internal audit procedure, templates, and reporting format so that every audit report records scope, evidence, and traceable conclusions.
• Help define and formalize the annual (and multi-year) internal audit program.
• Provide hands-on coaching to the internal audit team and, where useful, co-lead selected internal audits.
• Support the training and development of internal auditors. Documented information & corrective actions
• Help implement and roll out a system for tracking applicable documents, revisions, and approvals.
• Establish or refine a Non-Conformity register capturing corrections, corrective actions, root cause analysis, and effectiveness checks.
• Work with process owners to close open corrective/preventive actions and instill a routine for keeping the action tracker current. Supplier & subcontractor management
• Support the update and maintenance of the Approved Supplier List and the rollout of a supplier questionnaire/re-evaluation process.
• Help define a consistent supplier self-assessment and audit format with proper sign-off. Renewal readiness
• Conduct periodic gap assessments against ISO 9001:2015 requirements across all certified sites and processes.
• Support the update of the process map and other management-review inputs.
• Prepare the organization and documentation ahead of the certification body's upcoming audits. 4. Expected Deliverables
• Updated internal audit procedure, templates, and a documented multi-year internal audit program.
• Evidence packages supporting closure of open findings and improvement areas.
• An up-to-date, actively maintained Corrective/Preventive Action tracker.
• Updated Approved Supplier List and supplier evaluation process.
• A renewal-readiness assessment report ahead of the certification renewal audit. 5. Profile Sought
• Proven experience as an ISO 9001:2015 consultant or lead auditor, ideally with a recognized Lead Auditor certification (IRCA or equivalent).
• Prior experience supporting certification audits with a recognized certification body.
• Comfortable working with a multi-site, multi-country QMS; experience in semiconductor, electronics, or high-tech manufacturing is a strong plus.
• Practical, hands-on style: able to write procedures, coach internal auditors, and produce audit-ready evidence — not just advise from a distance.
• Fluent in English; French fluency strongly preferred given the on-site work at the Colombes headquarters and interactions with local teams.
• Comfortable engaging directly with management and process owners, and escalating risks proactively. 6. Working Arrangements
•
Location:
On-site presence required at Sequans headquarters in Colombes (92700), France, with remote work possible between on-site days.
• Time commitment: Part-time — indicatively 1–2 days per week (or an equivalent monthly volume), adjustable around key milestones such as the internal audit campaign and certification body visits.
• Duration: Through the next certification renewal cycle, with periodic checkpoint reviews.
• Reporting line: Reports functionally to the Quality/QRA management team and coordinates with the internal audit team and relevant process owners. 7. Success Criteria
• Open findings and improvement areas closed with evidence acceptable to the certification body.
• All corrective/preventive action items closed with documented root-cause analysis and effectiveness evidence.
• Internal audit campaign completed on schedule, with fully documented reports for every audit.
• ISO 9001:2015 certification successfully renewed.
• The effectiveness and documentation of the internal audit process.
