About the department
$ads={1}
Oral Finished Products (OFP) Production Support, is a newly established area within OFP Denmark, that consists of approximately 100 people, divided in two departments. Technical Support, responsible for facilities and utility and Warehouse, responsible for warehouse operations and support across OFP production Denmark.The department has undergone a few changes lately, and are now organised closer to OFP. Now, we are curious and eager to drive an improvement culture and set a clear direction for areas such as Circular for Zero, operating our facilities in a sustainable way.
The position
As Senior Manager you will head up OFP Technical Support, leading four associate managers; respectively leading teams between 10-18 people.
Besides providing our support in a structured and professional manner across facilities, we participate in expansion projects, preparing for smooth operations at a later stage. Our environmental footprint (Circular for zero) must be reduced significantly, while we expand our production footprint, and we believe that Facility and Utility can contribute to a large extend.
In this role you can expect great autonomy in leading and balancing daily operations with long term initiatives. Leading in a growing organisation, requires clear guidance and direction, and sometimes in facing new challenges that will require all you proactiveness and willingness to explore unprecedent paths.
As a member of Production Support management team, you are expected to understand the business we are a part of and bring your strategic thoughts to the table. As a support unit, being a step ahead through closed and trustful relations is vital, as well as building and nurturing a development path for your team members.
As a newly department within a newly established area, you have a unique opportunity to bring your thoughts, engage with team leaders and teams, and set the direction.
Qualifications
We are looking for someone who knows how to inspire and energise their surroundings, set clear and ambitious goals, and generally lead with empathy.
- Preferably have a Bachelor’s degree, but we will be open for very experienced candidates without an academic degree
- Have extensive experience leading leaders, or as a minimum a solid track record, leading teams
- Have a solid foundation in Technical Support within a manufacturing facility
- Have gained this experience within the pharmaceutical industry or other highly regulated ones
- Are fully proficient in both English and Danish
On a personal level, you give and receive feedback, and lead by example to foster a psychological safe environment. You are a strong communicator, result oriented, and able to create a continuous improvement culture, leveraging digital tools. Without healthy and strong relations, we do not have a business, which is why, this must be a core value for OFP Production support.
We look forward to welcome you as Senior Manager of Facility and Utility in OFP Production Support, on a truly exciting journey, in a new department.
