Basel, Schweiz Lonza Vollzeit

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While Lonza works in science, there’s no magic formula to how they do it.

The GCL embeds the Category Strategy through effective management and engagement with business collaborators, major suppliers and project procurement.
