The role owns the Procurement workstream from final contract negotiation through supplier onboarding, implementation, ramp-up and stabilization. It will coordinate the transition strategy for a complex product and supplier portfolio and govern the commercial framework associated with a strategic external-manufacturing relationship. The Senior Manager will work daily across the selected external manufacturer, component suppliers and internal functions to resolve commercial dependencies, secure capacity and continuity protections, deliver cost-reduction commitments and maintain disciplined program governance. This is an execution-intensive leadership role requiring sustained continuity, long-term ownership and sound judgement across sensitive commercial information, complex regulated manufacturing transitions and an enduring business transformation.

Key Responsibilities Contract Completion & Commercial Framework Lead completion and execution of the external-manufacturing agreement following supplier selection, partnering with Legal, Finance, Quality, Supply Chain and business stakeholders.

Partner with Quality, Regulatory, Technical Operations, Planning, IT/Systems and the relevant implementation teams to ensure commercial dependencies are reflected in the integrated implementation plan. Ensure supplier readiness actions, evidence and commits are tracked to closure before key transfer and ramp-up decisions. Component-Supplier Transition Strategy Establish and execute the transition strategy for all raw materials and component suppliers supporting the transferred portfolio. Define, by supplier and material family, the appropriate future model, including directed-buy, pure-buy, rationalization or selected-supplier ownership.
