Additional Comments:

This is a matrix leadership role working with internal and external partners to deliver reliable, efficient, on-time performance from the CMO network for DP manufacture. As such, the ability to work across national and cultural boundaries, honed analytical skills, detailed planning, and interpersonal savvy to achieve partner buy-in for strategies and plans will be essential for success. An ability to resolve routine issues at point while maintaining an acumen for stakeholder management and escalation of topics impacting product supply, multimillion-dollar provisions, or patient safety will also be required.
