Senior End to End Supply Chain Planner

About the Role

Join us as a Senior 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.

How You Will Contribute

• 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.

• 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.
