About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Translate complex technical and regulatory topics into clear executive briefings, highlighting operational implications, risks, opportunities, and required actions.
Develop and maintain a forward-looking risk intelligence landscape scanning process for biopharmaceutical manufacturing, process technology, engineering, GMP expectations, and supply chain resilience; convert insights into decision-ready recommendations for senior leaders.
Lead quantitative and qualitative analyses (trend, scenario, sensitivity, benchmarking) to assess risk and inform decisions for network strategy, capacity planning, and manufacturing investments.
Build and govern a portfolio of dashboards that integrate data across manufacturing performance, quality, deviations/CAPA, supply, and engineering reliability, ensuring data quality, definitions, and traceability.
Monitor emerging manufacturing technologies and practices (e.g., digital manufacturing, automation, advanced analytics, continuous manufacturing where applicable) and assess readiness, value, and adoption pathways for Biogen sites and partners.
Partner with stakeholders to define key questions, prioritize analyses, and align on interpretations and decisions.
Develop and deliver high-impact materials for PO&T leadership (executive summaries, quarterly landscape reports, and rapid-response briefs).
Provide analytics and decision support for strategy reviews, business cases, and investment governance (e.g., ROI/NPV/IRR, total cost modeling, and trade-off analyses) for manufacturing and engineering initiatives.
