Manager (Expert) Life Cycle Assessment - Innovative Medicine

Job Title

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Analyst – Innovative Medicine

Role Overview

Johnson & Johnson is seeking an experienced individual to join our team as an LCA analyst in Innovative Medicine. In this role you will run LCAs end‑to‑end (from data collection to interpretation), partner with teams to turn results into decisions, and support the evolution toward a more digital, data‑driven sustainability ecosystem. This role blends hands‑on technical LCA expertise with practical project, process and data skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver cradle‑to‑gate and full life cycle assessments for pharmaceutical products (including manufacturing processes, drug‑delivery devices, and key technologies), aligned to ISO 14040/44 and other relevant standards (e.g., ISO 14067, EU PEF, PAS 2090).
• Build, maintain and improve LCA models as products, sites and supply chains change; ensure transparency, consistency and reproducibility.
• Coordinate LCA work across portfolio: clarify scope, align collaborators, supervise progress, and collaborate with external partners and data providers.
• Work with data/digital teams to map required inputs, assess gaps vs. the target data architecture, and help define requirements for future data pipelines, integrations and automation.
• Translate LCA outputs into clear, decision‑ready insights (hotspots, improvement opportunities, trade‑offs) for technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Support reporting needs, including internal summaries and materials that enable sustainability claims, regulatory submissions, customer engagement, and corporate reporting.

Impact

• Help build and scale a powerful LCA capability—methods, data and tooling that influences real product and supply‑chain decisions.
• Work at the intersection of sustainability, science and digital, with exposure to diverse functions (R&D, Supply Chain, Procurement and Commercial).
• Develop as a sustainability technical expert while contributing to digital enablement and process improvement in a highly regulated environment.

Qualifications

• Master’s degree or equivalent experience in (bio)engineering, environmental science, sustainability, chemistry, or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands‑on experience delivering LCAs (preferably in pharma, chemicals, or another regulated manufacturing environment).
• Nice to have: experience with project coordination, process analysis, data mapping, or digital transformation initiatives.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with LCA software (e.g., SimaPro, GaBi, openLCA).
• Strong analytical skills; comfortable working with intricate datasets (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Python/R are a plus).
• Solid understanding of LCA and carbon footprint standards (ISO 14040/44, ISO 14067, PEF, PAS 2090) and how to apply them in practice.
• Understanding of pharmaceutical processes and regulated environments is a plus.

Project, Data & Process Skills

• Able to coordinate multiple workstreams, track progress, and manage timelines.
• Familiarity with data mapping, data governance, and data architecture concepts.
• Skilled at documenting processes, identifying gaps, and driving practical improvements.
• Comfortable facilitating working sessions and turning discussions into clear next steps.
• Highly organized and meticulous, with a continuous‑improvement attitude.

Ways of Working

• Clear, confident communicator—able to tailor messages to different audiences.
• Works well independently and collaboratively in cross‑functional teams.
• Structured and proactive in problem‑solving; able to take care of ambiguity.
• Able to navigate a global organization with multiple priorities and collaborators.
