What You'll Do:

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to work directly with Technical Operations leadership and functional leaders to define and advance the organization's most pressing strategic priorities.

You’ll also:

• Dig into complex, cross-functional questions, structure them clearly, and bring back a point of view. Identify where the thinking needs to happen and go do it
• Support manufacturing network decisions by developing scenarios, evaluating trade-offs, and helping leadership understand the long-term implications of site, supplier, and internal versus external manufacturing choices as programs move from clinical to commercial
• Build and maintain a clear picture of supply risk across the portfolio, identifying vulnerabilities and developing mitigation strategies and continuity plans that protect patient access
• Contribute to Product Development (CMC Small Molecule, Large Molecule and Gene Therapy) strategy by ensuring that early product development decisions and their downstream implications for manufacturing, supply, and commercial readiness are visible and accounted for in planning
• Support commercial readiness and launch planning by embedding supply continuity requirements early across the portfolio
• Build and leverage digital tools and data platforms to develop analytical models, dynamic dashboards, and live data integrations that make supply risk, network planning, and portfolio insights accessible and decision-ready
• Develop clear, concise materials that help leadership prioritize, escalate, and act across governance and portfolio-level discussions
• Build relationships at every level, within Technical Operations, across functions including Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Supply Chain, and Commercial, and with external partners
• Take on work that does not fit neatly into anyone else's lane and contribute to defining where this group can add the most value
