Job description

Primus is a growing specialty pharmaceutical company with a bold vision: to serve underserved populations through innovative, patient-centered therapies. We are building a science-driven organization where novel natural food-based Rx products, medical education and thoughtful health policy come together to expand access and improve outcomes.

We are seeking a highly motivated, analytical, and resourceful Supply Chain Manager to play a critical role in ensuring the efficient and reliable flow of our pharmaceutical products from manufacturing through distribution. This position offers an exciting opportunity for a hands-on supply chain professional who thrives on solving problems, building strong partnerships, and making a meaningful impact in a growing organization.

Reporting to the Director of Operations and Regulatory Affairs, the Supply Chain Manager will work closely with pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers, distribution partners, freight carriers, and internal teams to optimize inventory, anticipate demand, and ensure product availability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Logistics, Operations Management, or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant professional experience in supply chain, procurement, inventory management, logistics, demand planning, or pharmaceutical operations.
• Demonstrated experience managing inventory and procurement processes.
• Familiarity with pharmaceutical distribution and applicable supply-chain requirements in a GxP environment.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills.
