• Portfolio Operations & Supply Continuity: coordinate price changes, PBS activity, short‑dated stock and product changes with access & value, customer service and supply; support portfolio managers and the commercial supply manager with shortage tracking, customer communications and mitigation activities; maintain accurate portfolio data, trackers and recurring processes so the team has reliable information and a clear source of truth.
