Project Manager Supply Chain & Launch (m/w/d)

We are a health and diagnostics company operating across three complementary entities within our holding group — united by a shared commitment to science-backed products, precision, and innovation.

Molecusan B.V. (Venlo, Netherlands) develops and markets premium dietary supplements sold direct-to-consumer and cooperating practitioners across Europe. Our flagship product, Liquid Spectrum, combines nine bioactive plant extracts in a unique, highly bioavailable formulation.

Molecusan Factory GmbH (Lage, Germany) is the group's in-house production facility, handling the full manufacturing process for dietary supplements — from formulation through to filling to fulfillment.

Cell Spectrum GmbH (Spalt, Germany) develops next-generation medical devices under the Cellspectrum Diagnostics brand. The company's portfolio includes innovative lateral flow tests developed in collaboration with leading scientists and laboratories.

All three companies are at an exciting stage of growth — and this role sits at the heart of it.

Responsible for the day-to-day procurement of raw materials and maintenance of our ERP system, ensuring continuous supply for ongoing production across the holding.

Beyond daily operations, you coordinate all pre-launch activities for new products — from sourcing and CMO coordination to label approval, regulatory notifications, and inventory build-up — for dietary supplements (Molecusan B.V.), lateral flow tests / medical devices (Cell Spectrum GmbH), and contract manufacturing customers (Molecusan Factory GmbH) across all target markets (EU, UK, CH, and USA).

You work in a small, hands-on team and report directly to the Director Operations.

In more detail:

• Own and manage cross-functional product launch timelines from R&D handover to first customer order, ensuring all workstreams are on track and aligned.

• Source and purchase raw materials, including supplier selection and certification, ordering and ongoing supplier management; coordinate production scheduling directly with Molecusan Factory GmbH and external CMOs.

• Support contract manufacturing customers of Molecusan Factory GmbH by sourcing required raw materials, calculating prices and coordinating formulation reviews with external service providers.

• Create and manage compliant label content and artwork for all markets, commissioning external graphic designers and taking full ownership of accuracy and regulatory compliance.

• Build initial inventory ahead of launch and handle all regulatory notifications and submissions for new products across all target markets (e.g. BVL in Germany, equivalent registrations in UK, CH and USA).

• Maintain and update the ERP system with relevant product data and inventory information; monitor minimum raw material stock levels for ongoing production and proactively trigger reorders before stock-outs occur.

• Act as the central interface between R&D, Production and Sales; proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks without waiting to be directed.

• Report proactively to the Director Operations on launch status, risks, KPIs and milestones; take full ownership of results and continuously push for faster, leaner and more reliable execution.
