What you will do

Let's do this. Let's change the world. In this vital role, you will lead front-line manufacturing operations within AR5 PPH, supporting upstream cell culture activities including perfusion, production, and harvest operations. You will be accountable for safe, compliant, reliable, and right-first-time execution of the manufacturing plan while building a high-performing team that consistently demonstrates Amgen's "Every Action, Every Time" culture.

The Front-Line Manager will collaborate routinely with Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Engineering, Facilities and Engineering, Maintenance, Process Development, Process Engineering, Supply Chain, Regulatory Compliance, and other site functions.
