Financial & Value Delivery

Drive total cost of ownership optimisation through cost modelling, negotiation, benchmarking, demand consolidation, and value identification.

Lead savings, cost reduction, cost avoidance, and broader value delivery initiatives in support of procurement and business targets.

Support business cases and decision-making through commercial insight, financial analysis, and market data.

Use digital, data-driven, and AI-enabled approaches to improve sourcing effectiveness, decision quality, and procurement efficiency.

You will need to have:

Leadership experience in sourcing and category management within GMP pharmaceutical or biotech external manufacturing environments, including CDMO networks.

Shown success in complex commercial negotiations, business issue resolution, and strategic supplier management.

Experience working across global, cross-functional teams with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
