Job description

The Vice President of Global TSMS and Engineering at Elanco will lead enterprise-wide initiatives in Technical Services and Manufacturing Science across the company's global manufacturing network. This role focuses on end-to-end process lifecycle management, engineering strategy, and modernization of manufacturing through advanced technologies. The position emphasizes fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment while driving operational excellence and compliance. The ideal candidate will have substantial leadership experience in pharmaceutical or animal health manufacturing.

Requirements

  • A minimum of 15 years of experience in pharmaceutical, biologics, or animal health manufacturing.
  • Deep expertise in process development and validation.
  • Strong strategic leadership skills with experience managing multi-site technical organizations.
  • Education: BSc, MSc, or PhD in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical/Industrial Engineering, Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related technical field.

Responsibilities

  • Define and lead the global TSMS and Engineering strategy to support manufacturing platforms.
  • Oversee technology transfer and process validation from development to commercial manufacturing.
  • Lead global technical support, investigations, and continuous improvement programs.
  • Provide strategic leadership for global facilities and automation.
  • Develop and deliver a roadmap for 'next-generation' manufacturing capabilities.

Benefits

  • Employees at Elanco are often offered competitive compensation with annual bonus and equity eligibility, retirement plans (including a U.S. 401(k)), and comprehensive health coverage—medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability—and even pet insurance. Time-off and flexibility typically include generous PTO, U.S. mid-year and year-end paid shutdown weeks, parental leave, and flexible/remote work options. Employees also benefit from strong development programs (onboarding, course libraries, mentorship, nine ERGs, and tiered leadership programs) that support both professional growth and community involvement.
