Do you bring hands-on leadership experience in production operations, with the judgment necessary to balance daily delivery, people management, and continuous improvement? Have you managed on-site operational teams facing changing priorities while keeping quality, capacity, efficiency, and cost in mind?
If this fits you and you are purpose-driven, join the Production team at SOPHiA GENETICS as a Production Manager and allow us to have a positive impact on outcomes for cancer and rare disease patients worldwide.
The nature of this position implies that you will be in the office 5 days a week for this opportunity, connected to our production site in Rolle.
Our Mission ###
We believe there is a smarter, more data-driven way to make healthcare decisions, and our cloud-native, AI-powered SOPHiA DDM platform realizes this vision every day. You will participate directly in our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the world.
Your Mission ###
As a Production Manager, you will lead the daily functioning of production operations: defining priorities, planning team activities, solving problems, and ensuring the team can deliver reliably in a fast-paced environment. You will manage a team of 5 people, supporting daily execution while driving improvements in quality, capacity, efficiency, and cost. This is a hands-on leadership role when necessary, but not a technical role: you will balance your involvement in operations to support urgent deliveries with driving projects aimed at improving team functioning in the long term.
The value you bring ###
• * Lead and manage the production operations team, providing clear daily priorities, support, and coverage planning so that operations continue to progress.
• * Ensure the smooth running, safety, and reliability of production, with a strong focus on quality, delivery, and practical decision-making when priorities change.
• * Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on process efficiency, quality, capacity improvement, and cost reduction.
• * Lead projects independently, moving them forward proactively while maintaining control of daily production.
• * Collaborate cross-functionally with Quality, Quality Control, project teams, and customers when production issues arise, such as confusion or other operational concerns.
• Requirements
We know that every journey is different, but to be best prepared for success, we expect from you:
• * Direct experience in production or warehousing in a similar healthcare, life sciences, diagnostics, or medical device environment, producing or assembling products in a highly regulated environment.
• * People management experience where staff must be present on-site every day, including coverage planning, resolving resource constraints, and maintaining smooth operations.
• * Direct leadership experience in lean environments where you have had to provide operational and hands-on support.
• * Strong operational judgment, including the ability to step in on the floor to support the team and stay focused on longer-term projects and improvements.
• * Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives regarding process efficiency, quality, capacity, and cost, ideally in a regulated or quality-focused environment. Strong cross-functional collaboration with Quality, Quality Control, and other operational stakeholders.
• * The ability to work on-site 5 days a week and travel reliably to the production site.
• Benefits
You will join an organization with the patient at the heart of every decision and action, driven by a purpose as we pursue exponential growth.
Business recognitions and distinctions include:
• * Among the most innovative companies in the world (Top 10)
• * Among the smartest companies in the world (Top 50)
• * 100 best places to work in Boston
• * Top 10 European tech startups
• * Top 10 European biotech startups to watch
• * Top 25 East Coast biotechs to watch
• Our benefits package is comprehensive, but varies internationally based on local standards and laws. You can discuss full details with us, but in brief:
• * Health and accident coverage via Helsana
• * Meal vouchers at 90 CHF per month with our partner cafeteria
• * A pleasant and engaging work environment, with a break and entertainment space, a well-stocked free coffee machine, and free fruit/snacks
• * Free parking in an easily accessible location
