Auckland City, New Zealand NZ Blood Service (NZBS) Full time

Senior leadership opportunity
- Complex, technical manufacturing operations
- Values based and purpose led organisation

**The Organisation**

New Zealand Blood Service, a Crown entity, is a dynamic organisation with sole responsibility for collecting, processing, and distributing blood and blood products to the healthcare community in New Zealand. We also manages extensive cellular therapies and tissue banking facilities and is the national agency responsible for organ donation. We are a complex technical manufacturing organisation that is clinically and demand driven, and safety and quality focused. The organisation is on an exciting growth and change journey and has a great Auckland based opportunity for a talented manufacturing professional to lead the national manufacturing function.

**The Role**

The National Manager Manufacturing reports to the Director Technical Services and is an active contributing member of the Technical Services Senior Leadership Team. The position is responsible for driving the strategic direction of the manufacturing function and leading the national operational delivery for products and services to ensure they meet clinical demand, sales and operational planning (S&OP) requirements, and quality standards. This encompasses processing and accreditation across three manufacturing sites and cellular therapy and tissue banking at selected sites. Managing the national team and developing a high performing and empowered workforce is key to the role as is the overall performance and continuous improvement of functional operational service delivery.

**About You**

Ideally, you will have held a similar senior management position in healthcare manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, scientific (patient focused) or a similar regulated environment such as health/dietary supplements and the FMCG sector where there is strong GMP compliance. Experience will include managing large national or regional operations, developing and delivering operational strategy, process improvement, driving change management, project management, and leading large multidisciplinary teams. Strong S&OP process knowledge and pharmaceutical GMP or medical GMP knowledge is sought, together with strong commercial acumen, and intuitive leadership skills with the ability to empower, motivate, and develop high performing teams (through times of change) and improve operational performance.

**The Why**

This is a key role and exciting time to join a highly respected and valued organisation that operates with pace and agility and where there is a genuine supportive team culture, camaraderie, and a shared vision for excellence, best practice, and continuous improvement.
