About the Role

Operations is one of the three foundational functions at Amgen with a mission to be consistent and efficient in delivering safe and effective medicines around the world. Operations manufactures and delivers Amgen therapeutics to our patients. Made up of five subfunctions: Global Supply Chain, Process Development, Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering, and spread across several sites, Operations aspiration is simple: Ensure patients have access to the Amgen products they need. Every patient, every time. Process development (PD) is the department within Operations that takes molecules from Research & Development and turns them into products which can be manufactured for therapeutic use.

What You Will Do
