I run the quality management system and regulatory affairs function for a medium sized family owned medical devices manufacturer.
As it is a small firm, I am involved in almost every aspect of running the business, and as resident science and computer geek type person, I write insanely complex spreadsheets that let everyone work out who is buying what, how often and what they're paying over time and so on.
I am also (due to having worked previously in the print industry in a similar role for a specialist pharmaceutical packaging printer) involved in our artwork and packaging design, and in sourcing and negotiating deals with printers and other suppliers.
I audit factories (including foreign ones in Asia and across Europe), and visit customers (large retailers, NHS hospitals, etc).
Basically, I put in place all the measures that make sure when an end user puts their faith in our product, I know it has been designed, made, stored, supplied, and applied correctly.

And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
