Job Description

Objective for the company:

Under the supervision of the Senior Finance & Logistics Manager & Customer Care Lead, the role objective is to manage, coordinate and execute demand planning, supply, logistics and operational tasks for Sobi's across Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DE – AT – CH).

The overarching goal of the Finance & Logistics & Customer Care department — ensuring reliable, timely and patient-focused delivery of Sobi's products, including in urgent and emergency situations — is strongly connected with the purpose and responsibilities of this role. Building a genuine understanding of how demand is generated, including patient-driven demand, and translating this understanding into robust, well-coordinated supply and logistics execution is a high-impact responsibility within Sobi, directly contributing to patient supply reliability across the DACH region.

The role covers local S&OP and demand planning activities, logistics launch readiness, and close coordination with Regulatory Affairs and Quality, including acting as the local IFS system contact. It also carries finance-related interfaces — including net sales and volume reporting, Gross-to-Net administration and period close support — and coordination tasks connected to the Order-to-Cash process and the day-to-day operations of the customer care team.

The candidate works closely with other members of the Finance & Logistics department, local cross-functional teams, and Regulatory Affairs and Quality to prepare and support demand, supply and finance-related tasks — and, where urgent situations require it, contributes directly e.g. to emergency deliveries so patients receive their treatment without delay.
