Global contact lens manufacturer with manufacturing and supply-chain focus
CooperVision manufactures soft contact lenses across spherical, toric, and multifocal categories for a global customer base. The tech stack reveals a manufacturing-operations backbone (Siemens S7, PLC, SCADA, MES) layered with enterprise resource planning (Oracle, SAP ERP adoption) and financial compliance tools (Blackline, FloQast for close/audit workflows). Hiring is heavily weighted toward manufacturing and finance roles, with active projects around opex reduction, lean culture, and working-capital optimization—a typical profile for a large-scale discrete manufacturer modernizing its ERP and supply chain.
