Position Overview
The Supply Chain Compliance Officer at BD Rowa in Kelberg serves as the central force keeping BD Rowa’s supply chain resilient, compliant, and future-ready across three critical pillars. This role tracks and translates regulatory requirements into supplier and material compliance actions, owns and evolves the Supplier Risk Management framework, leads cross-functional risk assessments including supply, geopolitical, financial and regulatory risks, drives mitigation strategies, and manages the end-to-end Supply Chain Business Continuity Planning programme — in a regulated MedTech environment that demands structured thinking, regulatory fluency, and the confidence to act with authority across complex cross-functional landscapes.
Why This Role Matters: As Supply Chain Compliance Officer at BD Rowa in Kelberg, you protect the integrity of a global MedTech supply chain that ultimately delivers to patients and healthcare providers around the world. Your RoHS and WEEE compliance work ensures BD’s products can continue to be sold in regulated markets, your supplier risk framework prevents disruptions that could impact healthcare delivery, your ESG and Responsible Sourcing governance builds stakeholder trust, and your Business Continuity Planning ensures that when crises happen — as they inevitably do — BD Rowa is prepared, protected, and ready to recover. This is supply chain compliance that genuinely matters beyond the balance sheet.

Business Continuity Planning
- Own the Supply Chain Business Continuity Programme end-to-end — from design through testing, review, and live crisis activation when needed
- Coordinate comprehensive Business Impact Analyses and develop continuity and recovery plans for critical supply chain scenarios
- Lead periodic BCP reviews, structured testing exercises, and crisis preparedness activities across relevant Supply Chain stakeholders
- Build and maintain BD Rowa’s supply chain crisis response capability — ensuring the organisation can respond effectively to any supply disruption
Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Management
- Connect the dots across Supply Chain, Procurement, Operations, and external partners — leading complex cross-functional topics without always having direct authority
- Communicate compliantly and confidently at both management and specialist levels in both German and English across all three programme areas
- Influence suppliers, internal stakeholders, and leadership through structured, data-driven analysis and well-constructed risk and compliance narratives
