Posted on: June 25, 2022
Job Description:
BioMarin is the world leader in delivering therapeutics that
provide meaningful advances to patients who live with serious and
life-threatening rare genetic diseases. We target diseases that
lack effective therapies and affect relatively small numbers of
patients, many of whom are children. These conditions are often
inherited, difficult to diagnose, progressively debilitating and
have few, if any, treatment options. BioMarin will continue to
focus on advancing therapies that are the first or best of their
kind.By providing a foundation for all operations company wide,
BioMarin's General and Administrative teams support our mission of
providing first and best in class therapeutics to patients who live
with rare diseases. Our teams include groups such as finance,
legal, human resources, corporate compliance and ethics, and
information technology. Come join our team and make a meaningful
impact on patients' lives.Background:BioMarin has experienced
substantial growth organically since its inception, primarily over
the last decade. While this steady growth in both cost structure
and staff was essential to BioMarin's emergence as a leading,
fully-integrated global biopharma with approximately $2 billion in
revenues from over 75 countries, a robust R&D pipeline,
operating profits and world-class technical capabilities through
its 3,000 employees; BioMarin leadership desires to optimize the
efficiency of its operations for the future through its next phase
of growth.BioMarin launched Phase 1 of its "Fit-for-Growth" (FFG)
enterprise-wide operational excellence and workforce strategy
initiative in Q1 2021. FFG Phase 1 was designed as an
internally-led self-assessment of its cost structure and workforce,
primarily through business unit lenses. As BioMarin shifts into FFG
Phase 2, which will utilize expert biopharma business model
transformation consultants, we are looking for a savvy leader to
partner with the VP, Enterprise Growth Strategy to help maximize
impact and success. Key Responsibilities:
- Engage & Influence the Business: Most of the transformation
through FFG will occur in the business units and processes. This
will require significant collaboration, influence, negotiation and
change management in a strong but sensitive manner. This individual
will lead the build out of the capability of cultural change
management within the organization.
- Support External Experts: Support initiative execution and act
as point of contact between different departments within the

Enterprise Growth Strategy, this individual will support consistent
organizational/corporate communications to ensure cohesive

initiative will require creative and sophisticated strategy, both
in the design and execution of the program. This role, together
with the VP, Enterprise Growth Strategy and senior management, will
need to see the art of the possible, and will be responsible for
setting, communicating, and executing upon such strategy.
- Build and Cultivate Connections and Synergies to other
Initiatives: BioMarin's FFG mindset has spawned a number of
significant efficiency initiatives, including manufacturing
operational excellence, ERP replacement, headcount growth
governance, technology investment governance, and portfolio
management excellence. While these initiatives are mostly lead
within the business units, this individual will need to build and
maintain close connections to these initiatives because they all
co-exist under the FFG umbrella. Exploit and maximize synergies and
capabilities that already exist within the Company.
- Business Performance Metrics & Key Performance Indicators
(KPI's): In collaboration with the VP, Enterprise Growth Strategy
and Senior Executives, identify and implement a refreshed optimal
set of corporate and business operations performance metrics and
KPI's as a primary objective of FFG and a value driver for the
corporation.
- Program Risk Management: This individual will support the
identification of risks regarding BioMarin's transformation and
develop strategies to overcome or address these. Risks include
understanding key dependencies to assess the impact of issues and
changes in order to make recommendations to impacted
stakeholders.
- Build a "Value over Savings" Mentality: BioMarin is planning
for rapid business growth over the next few years. A cornerstone of
FFG is continuing to grow organically while maximizing shareholder
value through this growth. This individual will identify and track
the results of the FFG initiative, both in the form of shareholder
value creation, as well as operating and financial
efficiencies.

responsibilities, this individual will offer support for overall
