Position Brand Description:
This is a senior leadership role within our Global Parenteral Drug Product Technical Services and Manufacturing Science (MSAT) organization. You will be accountable for ensuring that qualified resources, robust systems, and effective governance are in place to provide technical stewardship of commercial parenteral drug product processes across our entire manufacturing network - spanning both internal sites and external contract manufacturing partners.
As the leader of our Global Product Stewards for our portfolio of parenteral drug products, you will set the technical direction for how we sustain, optimize, and defend the processes behind some of the world's highest-volume and most complex injectable medicines. Your organization will be a key connector across the network: the team that manufacturing sites turn to when critical technical questions arise, and the team that ensures consistency, compliance, and continuous improvement at a global scale.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility position for a leader who thrives on operating across organizational boundaries and building the technical capability of a world-class parenteral manufacturing network during a period of significant growth and expansion.
Key Objectives and Deliverables:

• Lead the Global Product Steward organization for parenteral drug products, setting strategic priorities and directing technical oversight for the full portfolio of commercial injectable products and active technical transfer programs across the manufacturing network.
• Serve as the network-level point of contact and escalation path for complex technical issues in parenteral drug product manufacturing, making real-time decisions that support production continuity across multiple manufacturing sites and geographies.
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing team of Global Product Stewards - the subject matter experts who own process knowledge, drive lifecycle management, and provide hands-on technical support for parenteral drug products across the network.
• Ensure the organization is staffed with appropriately trained and qualified technical experts to deliver network-level stewardship, execute the parenteral technical agenda, and support capacity expansion as new sites and presentations come online.
• Represent the Technical Services / MSAT organization in cross-functional governance forums, bringing a network-wide perspective to decisions on process changes, site readiness, regulatory strategy, and capital investment.
• Facilitate Parenteral Technical Leadership Network meetings, creating the forum where site-level technical leaders align on standards, share lessons learned, and make coordinated decisions across the network.
• Drive network-wide consistency and continuous improvement by building strong, trust-based relationships with manufacturing site leadership teams and influencing technical strategy at both the site and global level.
• Champion a culture of safety across the organization, leading initiatives and ensuring compliance with all corporate and site-level health, safety, and environmental goals.
• Design and implement recognition and reward programs that reinforce a culture of technical excellence, collaboration, and accountability across a geographically distributed team.

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree or higher in a science, engineering, or technical discipline (e.g., Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or related field).
• 15+ years of experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing within a current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) environment.
• 10+ years of direct experience in parenteral (injectable) drug product manufacturing, with significant depth in technical services, MSAT, process support, manufacturing science, or process engineering roles.
• Demonstrated track record of leading technical organizations or functions that operate across multiple manufacturing sites, with experience influencing outcomes in a matrixed, global environment.

Additional Preferences:

• Experience leading through periods of network expansion - such as new site startups, major technology transfers, or the addition of new dosage forms and presentations to an existing parenteral drug product network.
• Proven ability to set priorities and allocate resources across a global portfolio with competing demands, balancing short-term operational needs against long-term strategic objectives.
• Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical topics for senior leadership, regulatory agencies, and cross-functional partners.
• A track record of building productive partnerships across organizational, functional, and geographic boundaries - particularly in environments where influence matters more than direct authority.
• Experience engaging with global health authorities (e.g., FDA, EMA, PMDA) during regulatory inspections and lifecycle submissions for parenteral drug products.
• Deep familiarity with technology transfer, process validation, and lifecycle management for injectable drug products.
• A commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and continuously improving work environment.

Other Information:

• Standard work schedule is Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
• Flexibility is expected - you may occasionally need to be available outside standard hours to respond to urgent technical issues if they arise across the global network.
• Some domestic and international travel will be required (up to approximately 25%).
• This is an on-site position, with work from home flexibility up to 2-4 days per month; remote work is not available for this role.
