Remuneration depends on your level of experience. The average annual salary is generally between €40,000 and €50,000 gross for a beginner. For the more experienced, the salary can rise to €60,000 or even €80,000. Depending on the size and activity of the company, it may be possible to progress internally to become Group Quality Director.

The position of audit manager also represents an interesting prospect for career development. With experience, many decide to offer their services as a quality consultant by opening their own firm.
