Acting as a senior, experienced individual contributor, the role ensures that product launches are delivered on time, on budget, and in line with commercial strategy, while navigating complex cross-functional and cross-market requirements.

• Lead the end-to-end launch management of generic and specialty products, ensuring delivery in line with approved commercial plans and timelines.
• Develop and maintain robust launch plans, tracking milestones, risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies.
• Ensure all launches follow a consistent, compliant, and well-governed launch process aligned with regulatory, quality, supply chain, and commercial requirements.
• Challenge assumptions and timelines to accelerate launches where feasible without compromising quality or compliance.
• Act as the central coordination point across Regulatory, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Finance, Medical, and Commercial functions.
• Drive on-time milestone delivery through proactive engagement, escalation, and issue resolution across matrix teams.
• Coordinate and lead key cross-functional launch meetings, ensuring clear actions, accountability, and timely escalation where required.
• Partner with supply chain and technical teams to ensure availability of required technical, packaging, and supply information.
• Feed launch timelines, assumptions, and consolidated forecasts into capacity planning, financial planning, and commercial planning processes.
• Ensure launch plans are aligned to longer-term business objectives, including delivery against the 5-year plan.
• Perform post-launch reviews, identifying lessons learned and opportunities for continuous improvement.

The Person

• Degree in Science or Engineering (desirable).
• Significant project or product launch management experience, ideally within Pharmaceuticals.

• Working knowledge of SAP or other ERP systems.
• Advanced IT skills, including MS Excel and Word, with the ability to analyse and manipulate data.
