And are you comfortable taking responsibility and making things happen? Then you might be the right person to take on the role as Project Manager in CMC Clinical Supplies.
The position

As our new Project Manager, you will be responsible for executing a broad range of projects with a focus on Automation, IT & Digitalisation, applied to supply chain processes. As Project Manager you will be deeply involved in the solutions of the project, so you need to be curious and willing to go into details when needed.

Ensure alignment with the business strategy.
Work very independently, but with involvement of colleagues in Clinical Supplies at all levels including CS Management, CS Associate Managers as well as colleagues in the business area.
Challenge our vendors when the projects include external vendors.
You will get in-depth understanding of our processes and how they are linked across the clinical supply chain as well as backwards towards production facilities in CMC and use this in the projects. You will also be a resource for colleagues with less experience and to whom you may direct work.
Qualifications
To thrive in this role, you:
Hold a master’s degree in supply chain, engineering, economics, or a related field, with over 5 years of solid project management experience.
Alternatively, you have a strong background in supply chain, IT, and automation, with a talent for organizing and driving initiatives that you wish to develop further as a Project Manager.
