Supply Manager

Are you a Supply Chain Manager who thinks it is more interesting to develop supplier relationships than the logistics processes behind?

Or are you a sales person in life science who enjoys the personal meeting with customers more than the sales process itself? Orexo needs your help to take on a broad approach to our supply chain activities, to understand the pharmaceutical industry in its entirety and to develop and optimize our relationships with our partners. We need someone who is a logical thinker and who dreams in English. Someone with a drive who likes to set their own frames for their work. Above all, we need a new great team member for Team Orexo.
