Zug, Schweiz Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies Vollzeit

J&J seeks a **Category Manager, Global Specialty Chemicals, **located in the Skillman, NJ or Zug, CH.

Caring for the world, one person at a time has inspired and united the people of Johnson & Johnson for over 125 years. We embrace research and science - bringing innovative ideas, products and services to advance the health and well-being of people.

With $93.6 billion in 2021 sales, Johnson & Johnson is the world's most comprehensive and broadly based manufacturer of health care products, as well as a provider of related services, for the consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical devices markets. Employees of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies work with partners in health care to touch the lives of over a billion people every day, throughout the world.

**Chemicals **are the core components of our products &/or are used as process materials / catalysts in the manufacture of our products / synthesis of our medicines. Our Enterprise Spend of Chemicals exceeds $1B and is a complex category of >2000 unique compounds / ingredients, >8000 specifications, and >9000 SKU’s / Codes as purchased from approximately 800 suppliers worldwide.

**The Enterprise spend comes in **three broad clusters**:

- Base Chemicals
- Specialty Chemicals
- Regulated & Process (R&P) Chemicals

Through our strategy of scale, choice and supply network optimization, the category aspires to drive all-aspect spend performance (reliability, managed risk, compliance, fair / improvable cost, sustainability, and innovation). While all the clusters of spend are exposed to commodities and supply market dynamics, Base Chemical is heavily impacted by Supply & Demand imbalances and commodity market volatility (including COVID related supply shortages). Early stage ingredient & supply choices, scaled / standardized specifications (preventing / reducing complexity), dual sourcing (where / how possible), and strong understanding of commodity markets and inflation mitigation (hedging, identification of “best time to strike”, etc ) tend to be more impactful drivers of spend performance.

Reporting to the Category Director, Enterprise Specialty Chemicals, and part of the Enterprise Chemicals Category, the incumbent will own a **spend of Chemical Ingredients** **($40-50MM)** largely used in our Consumer Essential Health products. Coordinating with his / her peer Source Managers (Specialty & Regulated Chemicals), he / she will:

- Generate (continuously), own, and drive the execution of the Sub-category’s pipeline of projects.
- Own Global Supplier Relationship Management (GSRM) for specific suppliers through the category team(s), and manage supply agreements & awards, supply performance globally / regionally as appropriate (incl. issue resolution)
- Partner with SC and Procurement teams on execution, projects, delivery, and supplier management
- The incumbent will demonstrate and enhance skills in Category & Supplier Management, complexity reduction, and sourcing; and build deep expertise in Chemicals (and commodities), direct materials and strategic procurement within the end-2-end supply chain.
- Other projects and stretch initiatives as defined, scoped and allocated

**Qualifications**
- Bachelor's or equivalent required (e.g. Business, Engineering, Science), preferably complemented by top-notch MBA or other Master’s qualification Demonstrated skills in Strategic Procurement, Sourcing, Category and Supplier Management, preferably in the Supply Chain Environment
- Min. 5 years of relevant professional experience, preferably inside and outside Procurement and in different J&J sectors or industries
