The Role
The Senior Manager, Quality Global Affiliates Excellence, develops and owns selected shared Quality processes that enable Genmab’s affiliates to operate compliantly and efficiently as the business expands. The role simplifies ways of working, reduces duplication and affiliate workload, and builds scalable solutions that can be deployed across existing and new markets.
Working closely with affiliate Quality leads, global process owners and cross-functional partners, the role combines process ownership with hands-on implementation. A key responsibility is ownership of the affiliate training framework, including shared curricula, governance and ongoing maintenance. The scope of other process ownership is agreed with the Head of Quality Global Affiliates and relevant global process owners, with clear interfaces to local responsibilities.
The role serves as a key connection point between Global Quality and affiliate Quality organizations, coordinating implementation activities, promoting standardization, and enabling the exchange of best practices and lessons learned across markets.

Process ownership and scalable ways of working
- Own the design, implementation, maintenance and continuous improvement of assigned affiliate processes, including procedures, tools, governance, performance measures and user support

- Partner with global process owners to make global Quality processes practical for affiliates. Establish a common core with justified local adaptations, preserving local Quality oversight and statutory responsibilities
Affiliate training framework
- Own and maintain the affiliate training framework in partnership with Global Training, including role and task curricula, assignment principles, onboarding pathways and change governance
- Lead the affiliate training coordinator network and coordinate consistent implementation across markets. Maintain shared training matrices and coordinate updates following changes to global procedures
- Establish efficient arrangements for training assignment, administration and reporting with Global Training and affiliate coordinators. Retain clear local responsibility for identifying local requirements and confirming role applicability
- Monitor training completion and effectiveness, address recurring gaps with relevant stakeholders, and simplify training requirements and administration where justified
Quality oversight and continuous improvement
- Streamline affiliate Quality Management Reviews through common inputs, reporting and follow-up tools, and facilitate Quality Risk Management activities across affiliates
- Use process performance, affiliate feedback, inspection findings and workload data to identify improvements. Measure benefits through reduced duplication and effort, timely implementation and sustained process effectiveness
- Partner with relevant system owners to introduce proportionate digitalisation and automation
Project delivery and capability building
- Lead cross-functional improvement projects from problem definition through implementation and benefit evaluation, managing priorities and dependencies across multiple affiliates
- Build stakeholder commitment, provide practical guidance and training, and follow through on adoption so that improvements become part of everyday work
- Capture and share best practices and lessons learned through reusable guidance, peer networks and onboarding materials, strengthening the capabilities of small affiliate Quality teams
Requirements
- Master’s degree in pharmacy, life sciences, engineering or a related scientific discipline
- Approximately 7–10 years of relevant Quality experience within the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry
- Strong understanding of Good Distribution Practice and other GxP requirements relevant to affiliate operations, with experience implementing or improving Quality Management Systems
- Demonstrated experience owning or substantially improving processes across multiple markets or functions, with measurable gains in simplicity, efficiency or effectiveness
- Experience with Quality Risk Management and inspection readiness, including the ability to coordinate these activities across multiple markets
- Experience developing and implementing Quality guidance, tools, and training to enable structured, consistent, and scalable ways of working across affiliates
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and process-improvement capabilities, with the ability to identify trends, simplify processes, and drive harmonization across markets with differing regulatory requirements
- Strong stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across global and local organizations and drive outcomes without direct authority
