Location: Oxford, UK
Job Type: Full Time
Work Pattern: Hybrid
Oxford Nanopore Technologies is headquartered at the Oxford Science Park outside Oxford, UK, with satellite offices and a commercial presence across the US, APAC and Europe.
Oxford Nanopore employs experts from a wide range of disciplines, including nanopore science, molecular biology and applications, informatics, engineering, electronics, manufacturing and commercialisation. The management team, led by CEO Francis Van Parys, has a strong track record of bringing disruptive technologies to market.
Oxford Nanopore's sequencing platform is the only technology that offers real-time analysis for rapid insights in fully scalable formats, from pocket-sized devices to population-scale solutions. It can analyse native DNA or RNA and sequence fragments of any length, delivering short to ultra-long read lengths.
Our goal is to enable the analysis of any living thing, by anyone, anywhere. We provide real-time nanopore-based DNA/RNA sequencing technology that is accessible, easy to use and fully scalable to meet any requirement.
SummaryThe core objective of this role is to maintain, support and implement new product introductions and product changes, from early access through to full production and eventual product decline. This includes managing all component parts, assembly levels and finished goods across all business entities, while ensuring standard cost roll-ups and transfer pricing are correctly implemented.
The successful candidate will ensure that new product launches and product changes within the Company's ERP systems are managed through a controlled process. This will support the successful transition of finished goods sales, internal and external manufacturing of assemblies, and the purchasing of raw materials, while minimising inaccuracies in standard cost roll-ups and transfer pricing.
A strong working knowledge of the Company's ERP systems is essential to ensure processes are followed correctly. The role will also involve resolving product data challenges within the ERP systems and supporting continuous process improvements.
Key Responsibilities- Maintain the end-to-end Change Management Request process across the value chains.
- Implement Change Management Requests within the Company's ERP systems.
- Maintain standard cost roll-ups and transfer pricing within the Company's ERP systems.
- Liaise closely with internal stakeholders, including Product Management, Quality, Engineering, Research, Development, Tech Transfer, Manufacturing, Logistics, Demand Planning and Commercial Operations, to ensure operational timescales are achieved while maintaining data integrity throughout the change management process.
- Manage multiple priorities and work to tight deadlines while maintaining a high level of accuracy and adapting to a fast-paced, changing environment.
- Attend relevant project and team meetings, driving the timely completion of actions with change stakeholders.
- Support process improvement initiatives across the product lifecycle by utilising defined processes, mandatory data inputs and Lean Six Sigma methodologies to improve accuracy, reduce waste and increase the speed of change implementation.
- Undertake any other duties and responsibilities that may reasonably be required to support business objectives and operational requirements.
- Knowledge of inventory management principles.
- 2–3 years' experience within a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
- Experience in Product Data and Bill of Material management.
- Experience in Product Change Management and Change Control.
- Experience using ERP/MRP systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics, within a manufacturing, technology or supply chain environment.
- Working knowledge of Bills of Materials and Item Setups.
- Experience with ERP/Dynamics 365.
- Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
- A structured, logical and analytical approach with excellent attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to build productive working relationships and influence stakeholders at all levels.
- Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines within a fast-paced, changing environment.
- A collaborative approach with the ability to contribute positively to the team.
- Self-motivated with a commitment to delivering excellence.
- Ability to anticipate challenges and identify effective solutions.
- Technical degree or diploma in a relevant field.
- Experience of standard costing methods and transfer pricing.
- Experience of product development lifecycles, including prototype build phases.
- Experience coordinating indirect stakeholders and workflows.
- Experience creating presentations, process flows and reporting data.
- Knowledge of ONT products.
- Knowledge of chemistry, electronics, mechanical parts and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings.
- Ability to review roll-up costings and present summarised data to stakeholders.
