Job Description

At Lilly, the work is demanding because patients are waiting. We unite caring with discovery to help make life better for people around the world, knowing that every decision, every detail, and every day matters. Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, our over 50,000 employees around the globe take on complex challenges to discover and deliver life-changing medicines, strengthen how health is understood and managed, and support the communities we serve. This is hard, urgent, selfless work—but it’s work worth doing. If you’re driven by purpose and ready to bring your best to work that truly matters for patients, we invite you to join us.

Lilly recently announced a $4.5 billion investment to create the Lilly Medicine Foundry, a new center for advanced manufacturing and drug development. The first-ever facility of its kind, combining research and manufacturing in a single location, the Medicine Foundry will allow Lilly to further develop innovative solutions to optimize manufacturing processes and increase capacity for clinical trial medicines, while also reducing costs and environmental impact.

The Spare Parts Coordinator serves as the continuity point for MRO supply across the Lilly Medicine Foundry, maintaining uninterrupted parts availability for every building — from staging through delivery, on-site stock management, and returns to Central MRO for rebuild or repair.

Maintain storage locations in a clean, organized, and compliant manner, optimizing space for efficient retrieval

Support documentation processes (e.g., matching invoices, work orders, desktop requests, tracking approvals)
