Cell Therapy S&OP Planning Lead (Secondment)

Role summary This secondment provides hands-on support to Cell Therapy Global Supply Chain Planning across the monthly S&OP cycle and near-term S&OE execution. The role will help consolidate and validate planning inputs, prepare demand, supply and capacity analyses, surface exceptions and risks, and coordinate actions across global and site teams.

The assignment is designed as a broad planning-process support role rather than a dedicated slot-management position, while retaining exposure to slot and capacity topics where they are material to the integrated plan.

Typical accountabilities Support recurring S&OP and S&OE activities, including calendar coordination, input collection, pre-read preparation, meeting support, decision documentation and action follow-through. Consolidate demand, supply, capacity, inventory and operational inputs from product, site and functional teams into clear, consistent planning views.

Perform data checks and reconciliations, identify missing or inconsistent inputs, and work with data owners to resolve issues before reviews and decision forums. Prepare analytical summaries, trend views and scenario comparisons that clarify constraints, assumptions, risks, opportunities and recommended actions.

Maintain planning trackers, action logs, decision records, key assumptions and selected performance measures to support process discipline and transparency. Support exception-based S&OE by monitoring changes against the agreed plan, highlighting material deviations and coordinating timely escalation and resolution.

Help translate approved S&OP decisions into clear handoffs for site planning, patient operations, logistics, materials planning and other execution teams. Coordinate cross-functional follow-up across Global Planning, Manufacturing, Site Supply Chain, Clinical Operations, Patient Operations, Logistics and related partners.

Support continuous improvement of planning templates, standard work, data definitions and reporting routines to make S&OP and S&OE more efficient and decision-oriented. Provide analytical support for selected network-capacity and slot-management topics, including utilization, booking changes, capacity gaps and reallocation opportunities, as required.

Essential requirements Experience in supply chain planning, operations planning, S&OP, S&OE, production planning, capacity planning, scheduling or a related discipline. Strong data literacy, including the ability to organize, reconcile and interpret data from multiple sources and explain limitations or quality concerns.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate data into concise insights, options and recommendations for business decisions. Proficiency in Excel and experience using reporting or visualization tools such as Power BI; comfort learning new planning systems and data sources.

Ability to coordinate across functions, manage multiple deadlines and drive actions to closure in a dynamic, matrixed environment. Clear written and verbal communication, sound judgement and disciplined attention to detail. Desirable requirements Experience supporting a formal monthly S&OP cycle and weekly or biweekly S&OE routines.

Experience with ERP, advanced planning or orchestration tools such as SAP, OMP or equivalent platforms. Exposure to biopharmaceutical, advanced-therapy, patient-specific or other highly regulated supply chains. Familiarity with capacity, slot, inventory, service, schedule-adherence or plan-stability metrics. Experience improving planning templates, reporting routines, data quality or process governance.

What you will gain Practical experience supporting an integrated S&OP and S&OE operating model in a complex global supply network. Exposure to demand, supply, capacity, materials, logistics and execution decisions across Global Supply Chain Planning and partner functions. Experience converting planning data into decision-ready insights and supporting cross-functional governance forums.
