About Bavarian Nordic

Bavarian Nordic is a global vaccine company focused on helping to protect lives through innovative vaccines, public health partnership, and expanded access to disease prevention.

We work across emerging infectious diseases, travel health, and public health preparedness to help communities, healthcare providers, pharmacies, and health systems improve vaccine awareness, access, and delivery.

With a growing commercial portfolio and strong global partnerships, Bavarian Nordic is evolving how vaccines are supported across healthcare ecosystems — combining scientific innovation with customer engagement, education, and public health impact.

Position Overview

In this role, you will take ownership of the end-to-end management of CMO activities, ensuring reliable, compliant, and timely delivery in close collaboration with both internal stakeholders and external partners. Acting as the key interface between Bavarian Nordic and its CMOs, you will drive alignment, transparency, and performance across all manufacturing operations.

A key part of the role is maintaining oversight of production activities, including monitoring performance, tracking KPIs, and ensuring operational control.

You will review and approve critical CMO documentation such as deviations, change controls, and manufacturing instructions in accordance with BN QMS, while ensuring timely escalation and resolution of issues. In addition, you will manage Work Orders and associated financial processes, including invoice handling.

The role also involves contributing to key reporting and planning processes such as QMRs, APQRs, and long-range planning, as well as acting as person-in-plant when required to ensure strong collaboration and on-site oversight.

Key Responsibilities

  • CMO performance oversight and delivery
  • Stakeholder management and CMO interface
  • Governance, communication, and ways of working
  • Quality oversight, documentation, and compliance (QMS)
  • Operational control, KPIs, and financial coordination
  • Align communication and governance structures between BN and CMOs
  • Ensure implementation of BN changes at CMOs
  • Support and facilitate material and information flow to CMOs
  • Handle deviations and change controls in alignment with BN QMS
  • Review LRP protocols, allocation plans, and contract amendments

Qualifications

  • 7+ years’ experience in pharmaceutical or biotech manufacturing, including CMO oversight
  • Strong expertise in deviation management, change control, and Quality Management Systems (QMS)
  • Solid understanding of regulatory requirements for drug substance and/or drug product manufacturing
  • Broad cross-functional knowledge across QA, QC, Supply Chain, MSAT, and Regulatory Affairs
  • Proven stakeholder management skills with the ability to operate effectively in a global, cross-functional environment

Why Join Us

Join a mission-driven global vaccine company at a pivotal stage of growth and evolution. At Bavarian Nordic, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape innovative commercial programs, support public health initiatives, and contribute to how vaccines are accessed across healthcare channels.

We foster a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture where cross-functional partnership, creativity, and impact are valued alongside scientific excellence.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
