• Act as the day-to-day liaison with packaging and labeling vendors, facilitating routine project management and issue resolution.
• Contribute to the development of supply strategies that align with program needs while managing operational risks.
• Track study-level supply plans, inventory levels, and shipping schedules using internal planning tools and systems.
• Help ensure compliance with GMP/GDP/GCP regulations by supporting internal processes and quality systems.
• Assist in the preparation and coordination of budget estimates and track vendor costs in collaboration with Finance and leadership.
• Draft and review operational documents such as pharmacy manuals and site instructions, as appropriate.

The Ideal Candidate will have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Life Sciences, Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 7 years of relevant experience in clinical supply chain or technical operations.
• Familiarity with IRT systems and vendor management for clinical packaging and distribution.
• Strong collaboration, communication, and organizational skills.
• Working knowledge of regulatory guidelines (GMP/GDP/GCP) and clinical trial processes.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
• Willingness to travel up to 20%, including international.

Nice to Have:

• Biotech or startup experience.
• Exposure to Phase II/III global clinical trials.
