Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups tend to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Sobi encourages you to change that statistic and apply. Rarely do candidates meet 100% of the qualifications. We look forward to your application!

At Sobi, the work we do every day redefines the standards of care and transform the lives of people living with rare diseases.

As a diverse team of entrepreneurial people, we are passionate about our growth journey towards becoming a global leader, making a difference for rare disease patients, moving quickly and always challenging the status quo.

We are committed to an inclusive, sustainable and flexible workplace that fosters growth and development.

As Compliance & Privacy Operations Manager, you will work closely with the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), Compliance and Privacy Directors, and cross-functional stakeholders to support the planning, execution, and continuous improvement of the annual global compliance and privacy program.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role that blends program operations, project coordination, technology enablement, analytics, monitoring, and administrative and operational support.

The position is hybrid (minimum 2 days office each week and as required) and will be located in either Stockholm or Basel, reporting to Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer.

Your impact will include:

• Supporting the administration, planning and execution of the global compliance and privacy program, including project coordination, data analytics, milestone tracking, KPI reporting, training administration, communications, and meeting support
• Partnering with Compliance and Privacy colleagues to deliver initiatives such as training and presentation content development, documentation management, audit support, and process improvements
• Developing and maintaining project plans, dashboards, reports, and other  materials relevant to the department and the global compliance and privacy program
• Managing the global Compliance & Privacy SharePoint site and documentation repositories, ensuring content is accurate, governed, up-to-date, and accessible
• Supporting the CCO on various ad hoc process improvement initiatives and projects
• Evaluating, implementing, and supporting compliance, privacy, and AI-enabled tools; acting as a key point of contact for user enablement and training
• Develop and manage project plans, timelines, and deliverables using advanced Microsoft Office skills and other project management tools.
• Budget administration, including accrual planning, contract renewals, and supplier coordination/issue handling.
• Perform transaction monitoring and risk screening of third parties and provide related training and help‑desk support.

About you

You are a highly organised, execution-driven professional who thrives in operational roles that sit at the intersection of governance, data, project management, technology, and collaboration. You bring a pragmatic mindset, strong business judgment, and a natural ability to turn complex requirements into structured plans and clear outputs. Comfortable working independently, you are equally effective partnering across functions and cultures, building trust and alignment along the way. You communicate clearly, handle sensitive information with discretion, and take ownership of your work with a strong sense of accountability. You enjoy improving how things work, are curious about technology and data, and stay focused on delivering practical, high-quality results in a global environment.

• Experience building and maintaining dashboards and KPIs using Power BI or similar tools
• Strong documentation, reporting, and presentation skills with high attention to detail
• Experience using AI productivity tools for summarisation, automation, or workflow enhancement
• Demonstrated ability to manage confidential and sensitive information appropriately

Preferred

• Familiarity with compliance, privacy, risk management, or corporate governance programs
• Knowledge of compliance or privacy tools (e.g. screening systems, learning management systems, document management platforms)

Sobi Culture

At Sobi, we refuse to accept the status quo. This is because we have witnessed first-hand the challenges facing those affected by rare diseases and have used this knowledge to shape our business to find new ways of helping them.

As a specialized biopharmaceutical company, we are dedicated to rare diseases. And we see this focus as a strength. By effectively turning our research into ground-breaking treatments, we help make medicine more accessible and open up more possibilities for patients and more opportunities for those caring for them. This has been our approach since day one, but we know we can’t change the world of rare diseases on our own. Accomplishing this requires strong partnerships with patients, partners and stakeholders across the entire value chain. Together, we define how our business can create solutions that serve the needs of those affected by rare diseases while facilitating sustainable growth.
