• Build and improve data-driven workflows by leveraging AI and advanced tools to optimize forecasting, inventory management, and logistics processes.
• Partner seamlessly across Clinical Operations, Quality Assurance, Regulatory, and CMC to ensure supply strategies align with accelerating trial milestones and commercial readiness.

The Experience You’ll Need

• Education & Experience: Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 5 years of clinical project management or clinical supply chain management experience in the pharmaceutical/biotech industry.
• Trial Expertise: Direct experience managing the clinical supply chain for late-stage (Phase IIb/III) pivotal trials, including scaling up manufacturing and packaging strategies to enable flexibility and speed.
• Global Logistics: Deep knowledge of global clinical trial supply operations, country-specific import/export regulations, and complex distribution networks.
• Systems Proficiency: Hands-on experience designing and managing IRT/RTSM systems. Strong understanding of cGMP/cGCP guidelines and blinded operational protocols.
• Vendor Oversight: Proven track record of managing contract packaging vendors, global depots, and managing clinical supply budgets effectively.
• Agility & Mindset: Ability to navigate the ambiguity of early-phase research while imposing the necessary rigor for late-stage development, paired with a growth mindset biased toward innovation and continuous improvement.
• Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills to drive alignment across cross-functional teams.
