The Role

Genmab is looking for a strategic and execution-focused leader to head Operations Strategic Planning (OSP) within Technical Operations.

In this newly established role, you will build and lead the Operations Strategic Planning capability. You will ensure alignment of portfolio, capacity, and network across all TechOps functions; CMC (ADC CoE, Product Development, Dev & Manufacturing), Supply Chain and QA/QC.

You will drive the design and implementation of an Integrated Business Planning (IBP) / Operations Strategic Planning framework, enabling clear trade-offs, scenario-based decision-making, and forward-looking planning across the organization.

You will report to the Head of TechOps Strategy and Business Effectiveness and work closely with TechOps LT and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure TechOps is positioned to deliver both near-term execution and long-term scale.

• Develop and maintain mid- to long-term (1–5 year) TechOps strategy and capacity roadmaps.

• Establish governance, processes, and interfaces across CMC, Supply Chain, QA/QC, Finance, R&D and Commercial.

• Build tools, dashboards, and capacity models to provide transparency on risks, constraints and system performance.

• Drive alignment at TechOps LT level, ensuring planning outputs translate into clear decisions and actions.

• Identify and mitigate bottlenecks and risks across the external manufacturing network (e.g., ADC capacity, QC constraints).

• Support investment prioritization and strategic decision-making based on data-driven insights.

Requirements

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD or MBA) in life sciences, engineering, supply chain, or related field.

• 12–15+ years of experience within TechOps, CMC, Supply Chain, or strategic planning within biotech/pharma.

• Proven experience with Integrated Business Planning (IBP), S&OP, capacity planning or network strategy.

• Demonstrated ability to operate at the intersection of strategy and execution.

• Experience driving cross-functional alignment in a matrix organization.
