• Translate complex disease area and product visions into concrete, actionable execution plans and overarching strategic objectives.

• Direct high-impact investment proposals by prioritizing key product supply initiatives based on timeline, cost, and overall business value.

• Manage ongoing product health by continuously overseeing supply resilience, process robustness, and sustainability KPIs.

• Integrate external customer insights and global competitive landscape trends to actively shape lifecycle and disease area strategies.

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in the life sciences, engineering, or business disciplines.

• Technical Expertise: Proven success in designing, implementing, and evolving product supply chain strategies, specifically with new product launches and/or line extensions (exposure to biologic, synthetic molecule, or device supply chains is beneficial).

• Business Acumen: Strong ability to understand market access, disease areas, and demand-side volume drivers (experience in strategic areas like oncology, neuroscience, or immunology is a plus).

• Global Mindset: Strong preference for international or global team experience, paired with the ability to travel globally approximately 10% or lower.

• Soft Skills: A strategic thinker and persuasive communicator who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, managing holistic risks, building global trust, and influencing stakeholders at all levels.
