Our Breakthroughs would not make it to the hands of patients without our dedicated Manufacturing and Supply Chain Teams. Today, there is an exciting opportunity to join our API Production Planning Team at Pfizer Tuas. Working as part of the experienced API Production Planning Team, you will help transform the future of API Production Planning both on Site and within the wider Global Supply Chain Network. Your role will make the Breakthroughs possible and bring medicine to patients faster. Working with a dynamic team of Production Planning experts, both on Site and in the Supply Chain Network, the API Production Planner is responsible for all activities related to:

• Managing the API Production Planning Processes to deliver a Standardized Production Planning Model for API and achieve an E2E system-based planning Ecosystem

• Delivering continuous improvement and deploying new capabilities/tools and metrics to ensure a system-based planning Ecosystem

• Long Range Planning (Demand, Supply, inventories, and capacity)

• Supply Chain orchestration (production volume budgeting and LEs)

• Demand Management (Supply prioritization and allocation, Demand and Supply alert management, Demand validation)

• Production Planning (Volume and supply projection, rough-cut capacity analysis, and Plan of Record)

• Network Planning (Cross-site planning, API/DS management)
