Lead a production area that delivers life-changing biologics
At AGC Biologics, your leadership will directly impact how biologic medicines are produced and delivered to patients worldwide. As Manufacturing Manager within Downstream Microbial Manufacturing, you step into a pivotal role where strategy meets execution - ensuring that complex production runs safely, efficiently, and at the highest quality standards.
This is more than managing operations. It’s about creating stability in a dynamic GMP environment, enabling teams to perform at their best, and continuously improving how we produce therapies that matter.
Where operations, leadership, and impact come together
You take full ownership of your production area, ensuring that performance, quality, and compliance go hand in hand across all shifts. Your focus is on creating flow - anticipating risks, solving challenges before they escalate, and keeping production aligned with business priorities.
On a typical week, you move between the shop floor and strategic discussions. You work closely with Shift Supervisors, supporting them in leading their teams while ensuring consistency across shifts. At the same time, you collaborate with Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain to maintain readiness, resolve issues, and strengthen processes.
You play a key role in translating business goals into daily execution—ensuring that production plans are not just delivered, but delivered reliably and sustainably. Whether it’s supporting audits, handling complex deviations, or driving improvements, your decisions shape both performance and culture.
Success in this role means building a production setup that is robust, predictable, and continuously improving—while developing strong leaders who can carry that performance forward.
A leadership team built on trust and accountability
You will lead a team of Shift Supervisors and be part of a leadership environment where collaboration and ownership are essential. Leadership at AGC Biologics is visible and hands-on - you create clarity, set direction, and support your leaders in navigating both operational and people-related challenges.
The culture is characterized by high accountability, strong cross-functional collaboration, and a shared ambition to improve. You are expected to develop your team, strengthen leadership capabilities, and create an environment where people take pride in delivering high-quality results.
What will help you succeed
You bring strong experience from GMP-regulated manufacturing and are motivated by leading leaders in a complex production environment. You understand how to balance operational performance with people leadership and thrive in a role where you influence both daily execution and long-term improvements.
To succeed, you likely have:
Experience from multi-shift setups, CDMOs, or regulatory inspections will further support your success.
