THE OPPORTUNITY

Are you a senior production leader with a strong quality mindset and the ability to drive performance through people, structure and role‑modeling? We are looking for an experienced Production Manager to lead our production organization at our Animal Health site in Kalundborg and ensure stable, high‑quality operations.

As our Production Manager, you hold the overall responsibility for daily production and for leading the production organization. You ensure that operations are conducted in full compliance, with quality never being compromised, and you actively embed a right‑first‑time mindset across teams and leaders.

You play a key role in strengthening a high‑performance culture through Lean, continuous improvement and strong leadership behaviors. While the formal EHS ownership sits elsewhere in the organization, you are expected to act as a visible safety role model and safety guarant in day‑to‑day operations.

You will report to the Site Director and will be a member of the site leadership team.  This position is based in Kalundborg.

Please submit your application before 29th April.

  • Proven leadership experience from production in a regulated environment (e.g. pharma, food, or similar)
  • Strong people leader with experience developing leaders and high‑performing teams
  • Solid understanding of compliance, quality management and risk‑based decision‑making

WHAT WILL YOU GET IN RETURN?

Next to the opportunity to develop and challenge yourself while learning from a fast-paced environment: 

  • Work in a wellbeing-oriented organization (Premium access to Headspace and ongoing support and initiatives related to ways of working to help our employees to stay healthy and constantly improve the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being).
  • A key leadership role with significant impact on site performance and culture.
  • A strong professional environment with engaged and skilled colleagues.
