To ensure we act with foresight, diligence, and timely execution, we are looking to hire a Site Production Flow Manager for our biggest manufacturing site – in Kvistgaard (hybrid role between Kvistgaard/Hellerup). You will report to the local Supply Chain Lead and become part of a team of five.
The role
As Site Production Flow Manager, you will have end-to-end visibility and coordination of batch flow and release status across the site. Your main focus is to ensure that all planning and prioritization decisions are based on accurate, real-time release data and that batch flow from production through QA/QC to release is transparent, predictable, and aligned with supply priorities. This role is the execution truth engine of Site Supply Chain.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end oversight of batch release flow, ensuring accurate, real-time visibility of status, timelines, and downstream impacts
Coordinate across QA, QC, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain to drive timely batch progression and resolve bottlenecks
Proactively manage release risks, including identifying delays, escalating issues with clear impact, and driving mitigation actions
Deliver structured release updates and risk inputs to S&OE, ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and readiness for decision-making
Own and optimize release KPIs (e.g., cycle time, delays), including developing dashboards and driving data-based performance tracking
Act as business owner of batch tracking tools (e.g., BFM), ensuring data quality, adoption, and alignment with actual batch flow and inventory risk
What you bring
To become a success in this role, you bring 3–6 years of experience from pharma/biotech operations within QA, QC, Manufacturing, or Supply Chain, and a solid understanding of batch release in a GMP environment. You are structured, detail-oriented, and strong at driving cross-functional coordination and follow-up. With a data-driven mindset, you create transparency, identify risks early, and ensure alignment across QA, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain—while constructively challenging when needed.
Success in the first 6 months will include
Clear visibility and control of batch flow, with reliable and predictable release timelines
Strong cross-functional alignment, reducing release-related delays and surprises
Established KPI reporting that supports proactive decision-making
Full proficiency in Danish and English is required.
Why this role
This is a highly impactful role at the heart of site operations, ensuring that batch release flows smoothly, predictably, and with full transparency. You will play a key role in connecting QA, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain, driving alignment and enabling better, data-driven decision-making across the site. With direct influence on timelines, risk mitigation, and operational performance, this role offers the opportunity to create real impact by reducing complexity, increasing predictability, and strengthening how we manage release and supply.
