Value Chain Senior Manager - Supply Chain

We’re hiring on behalf of a global, publicly traded oncology company that’s redefining how solid tumors are treated through an innovative therapy based on Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields). Their mission is to improve and extend the lives of patients with cancer by delivering safe, non-invasive treatment options, while continuously advancing scientific and technological innovation.

You will join an inclusive, international environment where collaboration, curiosity, and patient impact are at the heart of every decision.

This is a newly created, global individual contributor role with significant strategic influence. You will work independently to shape supply chain transformation projects, collaborating with senior leadership and cross-functional teams to turn complex challenges into actionable strategies.
