The position requires strong partnership with cross-functional teams (including Global Supply Chain, Regulatory Affairs, Material Master Data, Finance, Quality, Tech Transfer, and Commercial) and a deep understanding of manufacturing operations, product physical and financial flows, and regulatory compliance.

*-- Proactively identifies supply chain vulnerabilities throughout the transfer lifecycle and builds robust Business Continuity Plans (BCPs).

*-- Monitors and mitigates dual-sourcing transition risks, ensuring market supply is maintained during regulatory approvals.

3. Execution & Governance

*-- Coordinates switch plans with Donor Sites, Receiving Sites (including internal sites and CMOs), Regulatory, Quality, and Master Data teams.

*-- Aligns last-production dates at donor sites with first production and release dates at receiving sites.

*-- Manages dossier and variation submission timelines with Global Regulatory to optimize inventory ramp-down and ramp-up.

*-- Applies rigorous project management methodologies to track progress, establishing KPIs to measure transfer timeline adherence and budget compliance.

*-- Provides regular executive updates on transfer status and risk profiles to senior GSCM and manufacturing leadership.

Qualifications & Requirements

Education & Experience

*-- B.S. degree required (preferably in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business Operations, or a related technical field); MBA or advanced degree is a plus.

*-- Minimum of 5 years of relevant experience in supply chain management, production planning, site operations, or tech transfer execution.

*-- Proven experience managing large-scale product transfers or network integration projects within a highly regulated industry is a strong plus (Pharmaceutical, Biotech, or Medical Devices preferred).

Technical & Professional Skills

*-- Strong knowledge of inventory management principles, capacity planning, and product lifecycle management.

*-- Proficiency with enterprise planning systems (SAP mandatory and Aera experience is a strong plus).

*-- APICS/CPIM or PMP certification is highly desirable.

Leadership & Soft Skills

*-- Demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams and align diverse stakeholders without direct authority.

*-- Excellent risk-assessment, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities.

*-- Superb communication skills, with the ability to translate complex logistical challenges into clear executive summaries.
