The role works closely with Platforms, RD and Strategic Innovation to understand expected process evolution and then determines how those processes should be manufactured and operated in the future. This includes the application of advanced technologies, process intensification, PAT, process equipment concepts, automation, reduced manual intervention and increasingly touchless operations. The role leads the Manufacturing Transformation Lead pilots, starting with Mammalian DS and Bioconjugation DS, using unit-cost diagnostics and future-state design to identify where changes to the manufacturing process, equipment and way of operating can create step-change value. The Manufacturing Transformation Lead works closely with the Program Integration Scale-Up Lead to translate pilot and platform requirements into coordinated program increments and to integrate relevant solutions from the other Advanced Industry workstreams back into the future manufacturing concepts. As a core member of the Advanced Industry LT, this role connects platform innovation with manufacturing transformation, ensuring that scientific progress is translated into scalable manufacturing concepts that improve unit cost, productivity, robustness and long-term competitiveness. The role is based in Basel, Switzerland. /ph3Platform Translation Manufacturing Concepts /h3ulliAlign with Platform, RD and Strategic Innovation roadmaps across all three business platforms /liliTranslate scientific and process evolution into manufacturing concepts, operating requirements and cost implications /liliIdentify opportunities from process intensification, PAT, advanced process equipment and reduced manual intervention /liliChallenge how future processes can be manufactured more simply, efficiently and autonomously /li /ulh3Pilot Leadership /h3ulliDrive unit-cost diagnostic and future-state manufacturing design /liliIdentify and prioritize process, equipment and operating-model interventions /liliCoordinate matrixed platform, site and functional resources /li /ulh3Manufacturing Requirements Integration /h3ulliTranslate future manufacturing concepts into requirements for equipment, automation, data, facility and lab capabilities /liliWork with Advanced Manufacturing Technology to identify enabling technologies for automation, touchless operations and process control /liliEnsure solutions from other Advanced Industry workstreams are integrated into coherent manufacturing concepts /liliWork with Program Integration Scale-Up to synchronize requirements and increments across the program /li /ulh3Value Replication /h3ulliEnsure future-state concepts are anchored in measurable unit-cost and productivity improvement /liliTranslate pilot learnings into reusable manufacturing concepts and design principles /liliSupport replication across all three platforms, sites and future builds /liliContribute to prioritization of future Manufacturing Transformation Lead pilots and use cases /li /ulh3What we are looking for /h3ulliBachelor or Master in the field of Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations Management, or a related discipline /liliFuture Manufacturing Strategy Concept Development: Ability to translate scientific, process and technology roadmaps into integrated future manufacturing concepts, design principles and operating requirements /liliBiopharmaceutical Manufacturing Process Knowledge: Strong understanding of manufacturing science, process technologies, operations and GMP requirements, with the ability to connect process evolution to facility and operating-model implications /liliUnit-Cost Manufacturing Economics: Ability to diagnose major cost and productivity drivers, quantify improvement potential and use economics to guide concept choices and pilot priorities /liliEnd-to-End Manufacturing Systems Thinking: Ability to integrate process technology, automation, data, facility design, people and operating-model considerations into a coherent future-state concept. /liliCross-Functional Pilot Leadership: Demonstrated ability to mobilize and align multidisciplinary teams across platforms, sites and global functions without relying on direct authority. /liliExecutive Communication Influence: Ability to communicate complex future-state concepts, trade-offs, evidence and recommendations clearly to senior business, technical and operational stakeholders. /liliPilot Governance, Risk Decision Management: Experience structuring hypotheses, decision criteria, risks and dependencies for complex pilots and driving timely resolution of issues. /liliLearning, Replication Scale-Up: Ability to convert pilot evidence into reusable manufacturing concepts, operating principles and recommendations for replication across platforms, sites and future builds /liliEnglish fluent /li /ulh3About Lonza /h3pAt Lonza, our people are our greatest strength.
