Location: Greenwood, South Carolina

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across five continents. While we work in science, there's no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that's the kind of work we want to be part of.

In this role, you will support the execution of customer programs within our Dosage Forms Solutions business in Greenwood, SC. You will work cross-functionally to ensure reliable delivery, strong customer communication, and smooth program execution from launch through lifecycle management.

• An agile career and dynamic working culture.
• An inclusive and ethical workplace where different perspectives are valued.
• Compensation programs that recognize high performance.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Opportunities to learn, grow, and develop within a global organization.

What you will do

• Act as the internal lead for assigned customer programs, coordinating execution across their full lifecycle.
• Partner with supply chain, quality, operations, commercial/sales, and customer service to ensure reliable production and on-time delivery.
• Track program milestones, identify risks, and drive actions to maintain customer satisfaction.
• Support customer communication by providing clear updates on program status, timelines, and challenges.
• Maintain accurate program and formulation information in internal systems and project tools.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance delivery performance and customer experience.

What we are looking for

• A bachelor's degree in business, life sciences, nutrition, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Early-career experience in project coordination, customer service, or manufacturing environments.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across multiple functions and stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through.
• A customer-focused mindset with clear and confident communication skills.
• Comfort working in a dynamic environment with changing priorities.

Every day, Lonza's products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. At Lonza, we respect and protect our people and our environment. Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.

People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.
