Job Description

At Thermo Fisher Scientific, you'll discover meaningful work that makes a positive impact on a global scale. Every day, our colleagues bring our Mission to life—enabling customers to make the world healthier, cleaner, and safer. By joining our Pharma Services team, you'll be part of a leading Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) trusted by biotech and biopharma companies worldwide for speed, flexibility, and quality across every phase of drug development. Together, we help accelerate the delivery of innovative therapies that improve lives around the world.

About the Role:

The Comparator Business Unit plays a critical role in supporting clinical development by ensuring customers have timely, reliable access to comparator medicines across global markets. As Director of Strategic Sourcing & Market Intelligence, you will define and execute the global sourcing strategy that enables this success.

This is more than a sourcing leadership role. You will influence commercial strategy, shape supplier partnerships, strengthen supply resilience, and build market intelligence capabilities that create competitive advantage. Working closely with Commercial, Operations, Procurement, Quality and Finance you will identify growth opportunities, mitigate supply risk, and lead transformational initiatives that improve customer outcomes and business performance.

You will lead an international team, develop future leaders, and create an environment where innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement thrive.

This role is site-based (4 days per week, with 1 day wfh) at either our Allshwil, Switzerland, or Horsham, UK locations. Regular international travel will be required - up to 30% of working time.

Why this role matters:

Shape the sourcing strategy for one of the industry's leading global comparator businesses.
Influence enterprise decisions using commercial insight and market intelligence.
Build strategic supplier partnerships that strengthen customer confidence and improve patient access to medicines.
Lead digital transformation and continuous improvement across a global function.
Develop high-performing teams and organisational capability while driving measurable business growth.

What you will do:

Develop and execute a global sourcing strategy aligned to long-term commercial objectives and customer needs.
Lead Comparator Portfolio Management, ensuring strong financial performance, supply continuity, and product competitiveness.
Design sourcing strategies for strategic customer opportunities, new product access, and supplier diversification.
Build executive-level partnerships with strategic suppliers, leading governance, performance reviews, and long-term collaboration.
Partner with Procurement and Operations to negotiate commercial agreements that optimise value, pricing, and supply security.
Lead market intelligence capabilities that identify trends, emerging risks, competitive dynamics, and growth opportunities.
Champion digital innovation and business transformation to improve sourcing effectiveness, scalability, and decision-making.
Influence senior stakeholders across the enterprise, aligning sourcing strategy with business priorities.
Lead, coach, and inspire a global leadership team while building a strong succession pipeline.
Deliver strategic objectives, resolve complex customer or supplier challenges, and foster a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Requirements:

Education & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Science, Supply Chain, or related discipline, or equivalent experience.
10+ years of progressive leadership experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, supply chain, commercial strategy, or a related function.
5+ years leading managers and geographically dispersed teams within a complex global matrix organisation.
Track record of developing enterprise sourcing strategies that improve commercial performance, strengthen supply resilience, and enable growth.
Significant experience negotiating complex commercial agreements and developing executive-level supplier partnerships.
Experience leading organisational transformation, change initiatives, and continuous improvement programmes.
Experience within pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, life sciences, healthcare, or another regulated industry is preferred.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

Executive-level strategic thinking with strong commercial and financial acumen.
Exceptional influencing, communication, and executive stakeholder management skills.
Ability to translate market intelligence into business strategy and customer value.
Strong analytical capability with a data-driven approach to decision-making.
Proven ability to lead change, inspire high-performing teams, and develop future leaders.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity while delivering measurable business outcomes.
Willingness to travel globally as business needs require.
