We are searching for the best talent for Manufacturing Supervisor - Technical Process and Compliance to be based in Leiden.

We are looking for a hands-on Manufacturing Supervisor who will ensure safe, compliant, and efficient production while owning technical processes and driving continuous improvement. You will support a focused production team and collaborate closely with other supervisors, Engineering, Quality, and Maintenance to meet the Master Production Schedule and maintain high standards of cGMP and safety!

This role emphasizes technical ownership — from supporting new product and equipment introductions to leading investigations and process improvements — and requires strong communication in English and Dutch to work effectively across teams.

As a Manufacturing Supervisor - Technical Process and Compliance, you will:

  • Own technical process performance for assigned areas, acting as the subject-matter expert and ensuring compliant, robust production outcomes.

  • Lead and contribute to deviations, root-cause investigations, and CAPA activities to resolve issues and prevent recurrence.

  • Support new product and equipment introductions by providing clear User Requirement Specifications, coordinating qualifications, and updating SOPs and work instructions.

  • Ensure accurate, timely GMP documentation and train operators on correct equipment use, documentation practices, and process controls.

  • Identify and drive data‑driven process and equipment improvements, partnering with Engineering and other stakeholders to implement changes.

  • Assign and coach operators, monitor team performance against the Master Production Schedule, and take ownership of operational metrics and corrective actions.

Qualifications/Requirements:

  • HBO level education or equivalent practical experience in a technical or scientific field.

  • Minimum 3 years of relevant manufacturing experience, preferably in the medical device industry or medical field.

  • Strong knowledge of cGMP, EHS & Safety requirements and experience with Six Sigma or process‑excellence methodologies.

  • Proficient with Excel, Windows, and ERP systems, and able to collect and analyze data to inform decisions.

  • Fluent in English and Dutch with clear verbal and written communication and stakeholder presentation skills.

  • Collaborative leader who coaches others, manages a defined team, sets priorities, and supports continuous improvement.

The anticipated base pay range for this position is 44,700 to 70,840 on an annual basis and includes 8% holiday allowance. In addition, the role includes an annual bonus of 10% based on performance.

At Johnson & Johnson, we want every candidate to feel supported throughout the hiring process. Our goal is to make the experience clear, fair, and respectful of your time.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Application review: We’ll carefully review your CV to see how your skills and experience align with the role.

  • Getting to know you: If there’s a good match, you’ll be invited to a short call with one of our recruitment team to understand more about you and answer any questions that you might have.

  • Staying informed: We know waiting can be hard and processes can evolve; our recruitment team will keep you updated and make sure you know what to expect at each step.

  • Final steps: For successful candidates, you will need to complete country-specific checks before starting your new role. We will help guide you through these.

Finally, at the end of the process, we’ll invite you to share feedback in a short survey — your input helps us continue improving the experience for future candidates.
