Head of Supply Chain

At CNX Therapeutics, we’re building a growing European pharmaceutical business with a clear ambition: to improve access to medicines that make a meaningful difference to patients’ lives. With a diverse portfolio and an expanding global footprint, we’re continuing to grow through both our existing business and new opportunities. Our people are central to this journey. We’re a collaborative, entrepreneurial and fast‑moving organisation where individuals have the opportunity to take ownership, make an impact and help shape how we grow.

Joining CNX means becoming part of an ambitious team at an exciting stage of our development, with the opportunity to contribute to both our business and the patients we ultimately serve.

We are looking for a senior pharmaceutical supply chain leader with deep S&OP expertise, ideally gained in an outsourced (virtual) manufacturing model, to ensure the reliable, compliant and cost‑competitive supply of our growing portfolio of medicines.

Reporting to the Supply Chain Director, you will lead our supply planning team and own the S&OP process and supply chain KPI framework end to end. You will set and deliver the short and long‑term supply chain strategy, translating our growth plans (organic growth, new launches, tech transfers and acquisitions) into resilient, scalable supply plans, systems and processes.

Beyond the core remit, you will be the face of CNX to our CMOs, champion supply chain on strategic initiatives like Serialisation and ESG, and play a key part in our growth by supporting due diligence on new opportunities and bringing new assets smoothly into business as usual.
