Let’s do this. Let’s change the world. In this vital role you will serve as a strategic integrator, driving cross-functional alignment, operational readiness, and capability uplift across RDO and Amgen high-priority initiatives. This role is pivotal in ensuring seamless integration of new processes, systems, and teams, while also building sustainable capabilities that support long-term organizational growth.

This role will provide integration capability leadership through leading the planning and execution of acquisition-related integrations, such as when Amgen acquires a company or product into our portfolio. The focus will be on activities across functions, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and timelines. This role will identify interdependencies, risks, and mitigation strategies across integration workstreams. It will serve as the primary liaison between RDO and enabling functions (e.g., Operations, Commercial, R&D) to ensure cohesive execution. It will also act as a delegate in key forums, decision-making bodies, and stakeholder engagements during Integrations. This role will prepare executive summaries, decision memos, and briefing materials for leadership reviews. It will drive timely prioritization and decision-making aligned with stakeholder expectations.

The Business Performance Senior Manager will be responsible for high-priority Amgen initiatives; examples may include designing and implementing frameworks for capability development, documentation standards, training programs, and process simplification.

This individual will also support program level presentations and reports that clearly summarize status, issues, implications and recommendations to key partners to inform and communicate decision making.

This role will support overall implementation of complex cross-functional projects, often parachuting into critical workstreams to de-bottleneck and/or accelerate performance.

Ongoing project work will focus on active integrations and past integration work and resulting capabilities and continuous improvement, with the opportunity to flex across the Amgen enterprise in the future.

This role will be accountable for:

• Supporting ongoing implementation of a consistent integration methodology
