Join to apply for the Category Manager, Facility Management role at Lundbeck

Are you looking for an opportunity to influence strategic procurement decisions in a company with a clear purpose? At Lundbeck, our Procurement organization plays a critical role in delivering value across the full value chain — from early research to the commercialization of our products — helping us improve the lives of millions of people living with brain diseases.

Your new role – why is this a great opportunity?

As Category Manager for Facility Management, you will play a key role in shaping how Lundbeck manages and invests in our global workplaces and technical infrastructure.

This is a unique opportunity to professionalize and mature Facility Management through strong category management discipline — ensuring our facilities, services, and energy management continuously support Lundbeck’s growth, sustainability ambitions, and employee experience.

This is a highly collaborative role with end-to-end responsibility for the Facility Management category — covering real estate and workplace services, energy procurement, technical and maintenance consumables (MRO‑type spend), and a wide range of facility services. Working closely with stakeholders across Facilities and HSE, Sustainability, and Finance, you will contribute to key decisions that support Lundbeck’s long‑term operational and sustainability ambitions, as well as the overall employee experience.

Your future team

You will join Lundbeck’s Corporate Procurement team — a global function of over 60 ambitious and passionate colleagues located in Copenhagen, Krakow, and Chicago. Together, we secure a professional and efficient source‑to‑pay process across the full Lundbeck value chain.

We foster a culture built on curiosity, adaptability, and accountability — encouraging our colleagues to challenge the status quo, learn continuously, and take ownership of their impact.

What You Bring To The Team

• Develop and implement a strategic category approach for Facility Management — setting direction across workplace & real estate services, energy, technical consumables, and facility operations
• Build strong partnerships with internal stakeholders to ensure the category supports Lundbeck’s long‑term operational and sustainability goals
• Engage and develop strategic supplier partnerships that go beyond transactional sourcing — fostering collaboration, innovation, and shared accountability for outcomes
• Establish governance, performance metrics, and reporting frameworks to strengthen transparency, compliance, and supplier performance
• Use market insights and data to identify opportunities for efficiency, cost optimization, and continuous improvement
• Drive sustainability and energy efficiency initiatives as a core element of the category strategy
• Champion a mindset of curiosity, adaptability, and accountability — continuously seeking smarter, more agile ways of working and encouraging a culture of learning and ownership

How Your Colleagues Would Describe You

• Experience in category management or strategic sourcing, ideally within Facility Management, Real Estate, Technical Services, or related operational categories
• Proven ability to develop and execute category strategies that balance cost, quality, risk, and sustainability
• Able to navigate complex setups with a solution‑oriented and structured mindset, taking accountability for your work and results
• Curious about how workplaces and services can evolve to support people and performance — always seeking smarter, more sustainable solutions
• Adaptable and resilient, balancing strategic thinking with hands‑on execution in a dynamic, global environment
• Skilled at building trusted relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners
• Comfortable negotiating contracts and managing supplier relationships with a long‑term perspective
• Bring a global outlook and are used to working in cross‑functional, international teams
• Communicate clearly and diplomatically — adapting your style to different audiences
