The Commercial Manufacturing Team Member at Bachem Americas plays a crucial role within a multidisciplinary team comprised of members from Manufacturing, Quality Assurance (QA), and Quality Control (QC). This unique role operates within a matrix reporting structure, whereby team members maintain their functional reporting lines but are collectively accountable to the Commercial Manufacturing Team (CMT) Leader for the execution of projects and delivery of outputs. The team may be responsible for managing one or several products depending on their complexity. As new products transition from development to commercial stages, the CMT acts as the custodian overseeing the validation activities and filings, while driving process innovations to optimize product output and performance.

The role of the CMT Member is multifaceted and centers on advancing operational excellence and identifying continuous process improvement opportunities across manufacturing and quality functions. This position requires a deep understanding of the Plan-to-Produce process, with responsibilities spanning production planning, cycle time adherence, data monitoring, and collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders. The CMT Member contributes to ensuring that manufacturing and release processes adhere to the stringent Right First Time methodology, thereby securing the timely and compliant delivery of products to downstream customers.

In addition to operational responsibilities, the member actively participates in strategic planning and proposal development, including capital expenditures aimed at enhancing production capacity and efficiency. Regular communication with internal teams and customers is vital, facilitating transparency related to schedules, performance indicators, and deviation management. The role demands strong project management skills, expertise in regulatory compliance including GMP standards, and proficiency with industry-specific software such as SAP and LIMS.

Bachem offers a competitive base salary range of $70,658 to $97,155, determined by education, experience, and skillset. The total rewards package includes an annual performance bonus, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k) plan with employer match, and paid time off including vacation, personal, and sick days. Bachem’s commitment to social responsibility, sustainability, and employee development makes it an attractive employer for professionals in the pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing sectors. This role is ideal for candidates who thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments and are passionate about driving excellence in commercial manufacturing operations.
