The Role

We are looking for an individual to serve as the business design authority for the Plan-to-Make global process within our ERP transformation initiative.

You will play a crucial role in clearly defining and standardizing operational processes across various sites, embedding these into the ERP template in accordance with shop-floor realities, planning needs, and regulatory requirements.

As we transition from a finance-focused system to a comprehensive ERP platform, you will take ownership of the Manufacturing and Supply Chain project charter, including stream planning, roadmap integration, and data readiness for ERP migration.

Key Responsibilities

• Co-lead the definition of future-state manufacturing and supply chain processes, ensuring integration across all domains.
• Bridge shop-floor and regulatory requirements in ERP solution design, validating essential manufacturing workflows.
• Ensure cohesive alignment between manufacturing execution and supply chain planning, maintaining visibility across the entire process.
• Embed compliance and validation requirements within process design to meet industry standards.
• Govern manufacturing data and support readiness activities for site implementation.
• Facilitate change enablement through effective training and a robust Super User network.

What You Bring

To be successful, a robust track record of process design and standardization across multiple locations is essential. Your experience should reflect a capacity to connect business strategies with technology solutions. Key qualifications include:

• Strong communication skills, capable of linking strategic visions with operational execution.
• A minimum of 8 years in biopharma manufacturing, demonstrating extensive GxP knowledge.
• Fluency in both English and German, with strong written and verbal communication skills.

Why This Role

This opportunity presents a chance to significantly influence the digital future of Bavarian Nordic during a transformative phase. You'll play a vital role in a global ERP rollout while navigating the intersection of business, IT, and advanced technologies like AI and analytics.

The role allows for cross-functional collaboration with senior stakeholders, leading strategic pilots and developing scalable solutions that cater to a highly regulated biopharma landscape.
