Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across five continents. While we work in science, there's no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that's the kind of work we want to be part of.

This role is based in Visp and will be instrumental in driving performance improvement across Drug Product operations. The position combines project management, operational excellence, and manufacturing expertise to lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives.

What you'll get:

  • An agile career and dynamic working culture in a driven team.

  • An inclusive and ethical workplace.

  • Compensation programs that recognize high performance.

  • A variety of benefits depending on role and location.

  • Relocation assistance for eligible candidates.

What you'll do:

  • Lead and deliver high-priority, complex performance improvement projects across DP operations.

  • Drive the implementation of LBMS standards and tools, including 6S, Standard Work, VSM, and problem-solving.

  • Coordinate and support maturity assessments and improvement roadmaps for operational functions.

  • Act as SME and mentor for lean leadership and continuous improvement culture.

  • Facilitate workshops and provide methodology support for key cost-saving and performance initiatives.

  • Collaborate with asset teams and OE functions to identify improvement opportunities via end-to-end value chain diagnostics.

  • Support strategic projects.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven hands-on experience in cycle time, changeover, and downtime reduction.

  • Strong background in Operational Excellence and manufacturing processes.

  • Demonstrated ability to lead change and collaborate across functions.

  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's preferred (IE, Science, Engineering or related fields)

  • Experience in Lean Six Sigma; pharma industry experience is a plus

  • Structured, focused, and well-organized working style.

  • Strong leadership and communication skills across all levels.

  • Fluent in English; German is a plus.

Every day, Lonza's products and services have a positive impact on millions of people. For us, this is not only a great privilege, but also a great responsibility. How we achieve our business results is just as important as the achievements themselves. At Lonza, we respect and protect our people and our environment. Any success we achieve is no success at all if not achieved ethically.

People come to Lonza for the challenge and creativity of solving complex problems and developing new ideas in life sciences. In return, we offer the satisfaction that comes with improving lives all around the world. The satisfaction that comes with making a meaningful difference.

Lonza is an equal opportunity employer.
