Transform Lives as a Clinical Studies Category Manager
Lundbeck's passion drives our purpose to advance brain health and transform lives. We strive to make a real difference for people living with brain disorders. Every day, we aim to develop new and improved treatments that impact lives. For decades, our hard work and commitment have taken us far, but there is still a long way to go.
Join our R&D Procurement team and play a key role in shaping our clinical pipeline. As a Clinical Studies Category Manager, you will work across a range of outsourcing and contracting activities, supported by your category team members. No two days are the same, yet some of the primary activities our R&D Procurement team embarks on are category strategy development, category and project portfolio planning and execution, including alignment with our line of business, building and issuing RFXs, as well as negotiating Work Orders and Change Orders.
Collaborate with a Global Team
Corporate Procurement is a global function consisting of +40 experienced and enthusiastic colleagues located in Copenhagen, Krakow, and Chicago. Together we secure a professional and efficient source-to-pay process across the full Lundbeck value chain. We take pride in our strongly integrated Category Management processes and deliver value through our structured approach to strategy development, category planning, sourcing project execution, as well as stakeholder- and supplier management.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Drive Category Strategy development, planning, and execution in close collaboration with the other Category Managers and Senior Category Managers in the category team related to the sourcing activities within clinical studies, globally across Lundbeck.
- Manage sourcing projects and processes within Clinical Studies, hereunder run RFPs, Bid Defense Meetings, as well as negotiation of Work Orders, Change Orders, and contracts in close alignment with Lundbeck's line of business and management – all based on category management methodology.
- Participate in lifecycle management of the relevant contract portfolio and strategic vendor relations, ensuring continued commercial and legal governance and value generation.
- Take part in the close collaboration with internal key stakeholders to secure project and strategy alignment.
- Ensure clinical study quality & timelines, compliance, intellectual property, liability, and regulatory requirements and overall Lundbeck long-term interests across the contract portfolio.
Your Qualifications
- Project management skills demonstrated through a minimum of 3 years' experience managing projects either in or related to Clinical Development (for example, as a clinical study/trial manager, procurement role, or similar).
- Profound understanding of clinical studies is a key requirement, but we are open to where your experience comes from. This could be from past roles in both pharmaceutical development or a more procurement-related role with experience in clinical studies.
- Business partnering skills, ability to influence, and an emphatic mindset.
- An interest in building or further building your outsourcing skills (project management, negotiations, legal understanding, data analysis, and Category Management).
- A Master's Degree from a University or Business School relevant to the position.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a structured approach.
- The ability to manage many projects and tasks simultaneously with a high drive.
- A keen interest in outsourcing and continuously developing your skill-set both as an individual and together with your colleagues.
- English fluency, verbally and written.
