About The Position
The Project Manager, Manufacturing Capacity & Plant Health Analysis leads Workstream 1 of the GH&B Health & Growth initiative: a focused, time-bound effort to restore full line utilization across GH&B’s priority sterile injectable plants. The incumbent owns the manufacturing-side analysis that establishes — plant by plant, across the in-scope sites — what it takes to reach full efficiency, which products drive absorption, and what the Cost of Goods (CoGS) impact looks like at full utilization. The role’s output directly gates the OP27 absorption assumptions and feeds the global commercial volume strategy. This is a delivery-focused secondment on a compressed six-month timeline, converting diagnosis into credible, defensible numbers in time for the September sizing gate. The role partners as an equal with the Commercial Volume Strategy PM and reports to the Manufacturing Executive Co-Sponsor. This is a six-month internal secondment open to current Pfizer colleagues. Role scope is a working proposal and will be refined with the post-holder and sponsor as project requirements are confirmed.
Requirements
- Applicant must have a bachelor's degree with at least 8 + years of experience.
- Manufacturing, supply chain, or operations background experience
- Available for a full-time six-month secondment with line-manager release.
- University degree in Engineering, Science, Supply Chain, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Strong grasp of plant economics — utilization, fixed-cost absorption, and CoGS drivers.
- Demonstrated project delivery on compressed timelines with multiple stakeholders.
- Comfort working with operational and financial data; able to turn incomplete data into trusted analysis.
- Confident cross-functional collaborator able to partner with Commercial and Finance as equals.
- Ability to travel as needed (not expected to exceed 25% of work time) for periodic site engagement, as well as participate in meetings outside of normal business hours.
- Candidate demonstrates a breadth of diverse leadership experiences and capabilities including: the ability to influence and collaborate with peers, develop and coach others, oversee and guide the work of other colleagues to achieve meaningful outcomes and create business impact.
- Permanent work authorization in the United States.
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree with at least 7 + years of experience; OR a PhD with 5+ years of experience , OR a MD with 4 + years of experience .
- Familiarity with the GH&B sterile injectable network and product portfolio; prior exposure to capacity or financial modeling.
- Experience with IBP / S&OP processes and KPI reporting.
- Working knowledge of relevant systems (e.g. SAP IBP, NexGen / nGPS, Tableau) and continuous-improvement methods.
- Experience presenting analysis to senior leadership; strong, concise communicator able to influence without authority across a matrixed organization.
Responsibilities
- Collect and validate operational, capacity, and output data across the in-scope GH&B manufacturing sites; establish a clean, trusted data foundation at speed.
- Identify and size the products whose volume most efficiently closes utilization gaps at each in-scope site.
- Quantify the volume required to reach full line efficiency and estimate per-product CoGS at that level, partnering closely with Finance.
- Develop site-level operational, workforce, and capital action plans to restore and sustain full utilization.
- Set theoretical capacity benchmarks per plant and product line as the performance standard.
- Partner daily with the Commercial Volume Strategy PM to keep manufacturing targets and commercial volume projections calibrated; escalate data gaps and decisions to the sponsor.
- Keep Workstream 1 on its aggressive schedule; produce rolling site action plans and report progress into project governance.
- Partner daily with the Commercial Volume Strategy PM (Workstream 2) to keep manufacturing and commercial assumptions calibrated.
- Report to and take direction from the Global Supply Chain Lead Co-Sponsor (James Jean); provide progress into project governance forums.
- Work directly with in-scope site leadership and manufacturing teams to collect data and shape plant health action plans.
- Partner with Finance on CoGS modeling and the unit-to-dollar translation of volume scenarios.
- Interface with PGS / GH&B center functions and IBP forums as needed to align targets and embed governance.
Benefits
- Relocation assistance may be available based on business needs and/or eligibility.
