Supply Chain Launch Manager for global launch projects

Humlebæk, DK

Job Family: Supply & Logistics

Country/Region: Denmark

Would you like to help orchestrate the global launch of new products, representing our supply chain throughout the entire launch projects?

Join a global group of skilled supply chain professionals and follow new products from early development all the way to market – as your input will ensure that we deliver the best to people with intimate healthcare needs.

“WE play a key part in planning and executing successful launches – and we are a valued voice in the process, allowing us to set a clear direction,” explains Head of Supply Chain Launch, Global Supply Chain Management, Daniel Arildsen.

Join our highly experienced Launch department
Together, we are 7 colleagues, responsible for supply chain activities related to bringing new and innovative products to market within Chronic Care and Wound Care products. A good part of our time, we spend working with our factories in Hungary, Costa Rica, and soon Portugal.

“As we are each dedicated to different projects, discussing what we’ve learned with each other is very important to us. And we’ll be there to make sure you get to ease into the position,” says Daniel.

Ensure that supply chain is covered in every project
As part of the Coloplast global supply chain, you will find yourself in the middle of a web of stakeholders working towards launching new Chronic Care and Wound Care products. Here, you will be dedicated to specific projects, sometimes as supply chain lead, representing the voice of supply chain and pulling the strings in order to ensure that we are on track and launch on time.

Specifically, you will be the subject matter expert from supply chain, staying up to date on project progression. Moreover, you will plan the launch and make sure that systems, manufacturing, stock levels, etc. are ready for launch. And when you meet a bump in the road, you will figure out solutions with the project team.

From early project development until post-launch, you will:

• Build and execute a project plan for supply chain management, ensuring that we reach project milestones and launch on time
• Produce launch scenarios in collaboration with other departments and ensure alignment with the rest of the organization
• Be responsible for securing supply chain project delivery and delivery performance of newly launched items
• Make sure systems, such as planning, base data and distribution, are ready for launch
• Coordinate activities at our production sites and flag supply chain risks to ensure timely launch

Your work may take you traveling roughly 2 weeks per year, primarily to our factory in Hungary. However, you will have a say on how the trips are planned, so they will fit with the rest of your life.

Supply chain knowledge and stakeholder management skills
In this role, you must be able to work cross-functionally, using your good stakeholder management skills to incorporate a wide range of input from across the business. Also, you can work with limited supervision in your projects, representing the voice of supply chain, making decisions, and setting a direction for your area.

Finally, we imagine that you:

• Have a degree in supply chain or engineering
• Have some experience, either within supply chain or logistics and a good conception of production processes
• Possibly have some experience working in projects, allowing you to consider both commercial and supply chain perspectives
• Are good at Excel and at adapting to new systems
• Are fluent in English
