Our culture encourages personal expression, open dialogue, and genuine connections, where you are valued, accepted and respected for who you are, allowing you to thrive both personally and professionally. This is how we aim to prevent, stop and cure diseases and ensure everyone has access to healthcare today and for generations to come. Join Roche, where every voice matters.

The Position

Are you ready to shape the future of global clinical supply chains? As a Contract Manufacturing Specialist within PTDS Production Enablement, you will manage outsourced clinical packaging portfolios and negotiate key supply agreements. Join Roche in delivering transformative medicines to patients worldwide seamlessly, on time, and with optimal quality.

The Opportunity:

  • Lead Global CMO Operations: Serve as the primary Site Manager overseeing clinical drug labeling, packaging, and device assembly outsourced across our international network of Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs).
  • Drive Performance & Timelines: Proactively manage CMO onboarding, communication, and project timelines to ensure predictable, on-time delivery while maintaining strict cost and quality standards.
  • Master Vendor Management & Procurement: Partner with Procurement to run Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Statements of Work (SOWs), negotiate supply agreements, and lead Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) activities.
  • Shape Supply Strategies & Budgeting: Collaborate with leadership to define specialized supply strategies for non-standard products and own the variable cost budgeting process for CMO projects.
  • Oversee End-to-End Financials & Systems: Manage pre- and post-production packaging orders in the ERP system, issue Purchase Orders, review and approve invoices, and ensure full alignment in SAP.
  • Track KPIs & Represent the Function: Define, monitor, and report key CMO performance metrics while representing the clinical packaging function in global cross-functional processes like CD&OP.
  • Foster Capability & Capacity Building: Work closely with CMO partners to ensure long-term production capacity, alignment on operational expectations, and cross-functional synergy with internal Roche teams.
  • Champion Continuous Improvement: Act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to identify efficiency opportunities, drive digital/process innovations, and solve complex supply chain challenges.

Who you are:

  • Experienced Supply Chain Professional: You bring a BA/BS degree (preferably in Supply Chain, Business, or a technical field) along with 5+ years of experience in the pharma industry, clinical supply chain, or contract manufacturing.
  • Strong Project Leader & Decision Maker: You have proven expertise in project management (APICS, PMP, or Lean/Six Sigma certifications are a plus) and a track record of driving complex initiatives independently with sound judgment.
  • Systems & SAP Proficient: You hold solid analytical and problem-solving skills, with hands-on proficiency in SAP/ERP systems and a strong eye for detail.
  • Global Mindset & Cultural Agility: You excel in cross-cultural environments, demonstrating high emotional intelligence and social competence when collaborating with global partners across different time zones.
  • Strategic Negotiator & Stakeholder Manager: You possess strong business acumen to negotiate agreements, build trusting relationships with suppliers, and align internal stakeholder priorities toward organizational goals.
  • Excellent Communicator: You are an articulate, professional communicator across all corporate levels, with fluent Business English skills (German is a plus).
  • Adaptable & Flexible Team Player: You thrive in a fast-paced, global matrix setup and bring the flexibility required to seamlessly collaborate across international time zones (e.g., US, Europe, Asia).

Why it works

3×

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.
