Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Large Molecule Business Unit (LMBU) is a global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) supporting customers in bringing biologic therapies to patients. The Sr. Manager – Commercial Systems and Strategy is a key leader within the Commercial Operations Office, responsible for designing, operating, and continuously improving the systems, planning processes, and capability frameworks that enable disciplined commercial execution across the BU.
This role serves as a hands-on owner and integrator of enterprise planning, demand planning, and commercial capability development. The Sr. Manager ensures commercial inputs are structured, credible, and actionable—and that teams are trained, aligned, and enabled to execute consistently at scale.
You will translate strategy into execution by ensuring the Large Molecule BU has clear planning mechanisms, integrated demand signals, and well-trained commercial teams. Your work will improve forecast reliability, strengthen alignment between commercial and operations teams, and increase adoption of standard tools and processes. Success in this role is measured by planning quality, system effectiveness, and organizational capability, not individual deal outcomes.

· Support the commercial systems roadmap, ensuring tools effectively enable planning, forecasting, and performance tracking
· Serve as a functional expert for commercial planning and forecasting systems
· Partner with IT and enterprise teams to improve system usability, data quality, and integration
· Develop standard reports, dashboards, and analytics to support decision-making
· Design and deploy role-based training for commercial systems, planning processes, and governance standards
· Develop onboarding materials, standard work documentation, and learning pathways for commercial-facing roles
· Partner with functional leaders to assess capability gaps and prioritize development initiatives
· Promote consistent adoption of tools, processes, and best practices through structured learning and reinforcement

· Escalate risks and misalignment early with data-driven insights and recommendations
