WHY PATIENTS NEED YOU
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.
WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE
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 intime 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.
Note: 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.
HOW YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT
Baseline capacity & utilization : 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 high-absorption products:Identify and size the products whose volume most efficiently closes utilization gaps at each in-scope site.
Model volume & CoGS at full utilization: Quantify the volume required to reach full line efficiency and estimate per-product CoGS at that level, partnering closely with Finance.
Define plant health action plans:Develop site-level operational, workforce, and capital action plans to restore and sustain full utilization.
Establish capacity benchmarks:Set theoretical capacity benchmarks per plant and product line as the performance standard.
Coordinate cross-functionally: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.
Drive the delivery cadence:Keep Workstream 1 on its aggressive schedule; produce rolling site action plans and report progress into project governance. Key deliverables: Plant Health Scorecard (Aug 2026), High-Absorption Product List (Aug–Sep 2026), CoGS Model at Full Utilization (Sep 2026), and Rolling Site Action Plans (Sep–Dec 2026).
