Job Description About the Role Join us as an End-to-End Supply Chain Planner supporting the vaccine portfolio. This role has the same end-to-end supply-chain scope as the biologics planning role but requires specific experience in vaccine supply chains and launch environments. You will support supply planning during a critical launch and portfolio-development phase, working across manufacturing sites, regional teams, commercial stakeholders, quality, regulatory affairs, medical, and other functions. The successful candidate will combine strong supply-chain expertise with a strategic mindset. You will need to assess changing information—including test results, quality findings, demand assumptions, regulatory developments, and launch requirements—and determine how the supply plan should be adapted. This role requires someone who can connect strategic portfolio priorities with practical execution, anticipate the implications of lifecycle-management activities, and build alignment across a broad and senior stakeholder network. How You Will Contribute Reporting to the End-to-End Supply Chain Lead, you will: Develop and own end-to-end supply plans for the Qdenga vaccine portfolio across short-, medium-, and long-term planning horizons. Support supply planning through the launch phase, including launch readiness, launch execution, market expansion, and post-launch stabilization. Translate vaccine demand, market priorities, manufacturing constraints, testing outcomes, quality information, and regulatory requirements into actionable supply plans. Continuously assess whether the supply plan remains appropriate as new test results, evidence, market information, or launch assumptions become available. Reshape supply, capacity, inventory, allocation, deployment, and production plans when new information requires a change in direction. Coordinate supply planning across manufacturing sites and regional or local market teams. Lead cross-functional supply reviews involving manufacturing, quality, regulatory affairs, medical, commercial, finance, procurement, logistics, and other relevant stakeholders. Develop scenarios and recommendations that balance patient access, supply continuity, quality, compliance, launch timing, inventory, capacity, and cost. Manage the supply-chain implications of vaccine lifecycle-management activities, including launches, market expansion, manufacturing or process changes, product changes, capacity changes, network changes, and future portfolio requirements. Assess how lifecycle decisions affect testing, release, manufacturing capacity, production timing, shelf life, inventory, distribution, market allocation, and service performance. Establish clear launch-readiness plans with milestones, dependencies, owners, risks, decision points, and escalation routes. Build and maintain strong stakeholder networks across global, regional, local, and external organizations. Influence stakeholders and create alignment where market priorities, manufacturing constraints, quality requirements, and launch timelines may differ. Translate strategic vaccine-portfolio priorities into executable supply-chain plans. Provide senior stakeholders with clear scenarios, risk assessments, recommendations, and decision support. Incorporate lessons learned, test results, and launch experience into revised planning assumptions and future lifecycle strategies. Drive continuous improvement in launch governance, supply planning, stakeholder alignment, and cross-functional ways of working. Communicate complex vaccine supply-chain issues clearly to senior stakeholders and leadership teams. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in supply chain, logistics, business administration, industrial engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, life sciences, or a related field. Minimum of seven years of relevant experience in supply chain planning, production planning, supply network management, or a related pharmaceutical operations discipline. Demonstrated experience in the vaccine industry or vaccine supply chain. Experience supporting a vaccine launch, product introduction, launch-readiness program, market expansion, or a comparable complex pharmaceutical launch. Strong understanding of vaccine manufacturing, testing, quality, release, regulatory requirements, allocation, distribution, and market supply. Experience managing supply planning across multiple manufacturing sites, products, markets, or production stages. Experience in vaccine or pharmaceutical product lifecycle management, including launches, transfers, process or product changes, market expansion, capacity changes, network changes, and discontinuations. Demonstrated ability to interpret test results, quality data, regulatory information, demand changes, and market inputs and translate them into revised supply plans. Strong strategic mindset, with the ability to connect portfolio strategy and launch priorities to practical supply-chain execution. Strong stakeholder-management and influencing skills across global, regional, local, and external organizations. Ability to work effectively in a complex and evolving launch environment. Proven ability to develop scenarios, assess risks, make recommendations, and drive decisions through governance forums. Strong analytical, communication, negotiation, and presentation skills. Experience with SAP and/or advanced planning systems such as IBP or OBP. Strong Excel skills and experience with reporting tools such as Qlik or Power BI. Ability to influence without direct authority in a matrix organization. Fluency in English; additional language skills are an advantage.
