Animal health pharmaceutical manufacturer with global manufacturing and veterinary portfolio
Elanco is a public-company pharmaceutical manufacturer serving animal health across companion pets, livestock, and food production. The tech stack is heavy on SAP (ERP, Commerce Cloud, SuccessFactors, Integration Suite, PO) paired with manufacturing-specific systems (MES, LIMS, PLCs, SCADA, PI System) — a pattern typical of regulated pharma with complex supply chains. Notably, they're adopting AWS EKS and Power Automate while maintaining Palo Alto Networks and Forescout security, signaling modernization of cloud infrastructure alongside compliance. Active hiring spans manufacturing (83 roles) and engineering (63), with significant ops (57) and research (45) presence, reflecting the capital intensity of drug development and production at scale.
Notable leadership hires: Quality System Lead, Production Director, Head of Formulation Development, TSMS Laboratory Lead, Chief Executive Assistant
Elanco develops and manufactures animal health pharmaceuticals and biologics for veterinarians, farmers, and pet owners globally.

With 5,001–10,000 employees across 25+ countries, Elanco runs a manufacturing-intensive operation anchored in SAP and regulated by GMP, VMR, and SOX compliance frameworks. Current focus areas include product launches, technology transfer of small-molecule drugs, process efficiency improvements, and expansion of the international swine portfolio.
