What you'll do

  • Design and lead the end-to-end clinical supply chain strategy for all active and planned clinical programs, encompassing demand forecasting, inventory planning, clinical packaging and labeling, IRT/IVRS configuration, distribution, and returns/destruction.
  • Own the global IMP distribution network, including selection and governance of third-party logistics (3PL) providers, cold chain carriers, and depot partners across North America, Europe, and global regions; ensure temperature-controlled supply chain integrity from CDMO release through site delivery.
  • Serve as the primary supply chain interface to Clinical Operations, ensuring clinical supply timelines are fully integrated into study startup plans, protocol amendments, site activation milestones, and enrollment projections.
  • Lead clinical supply planning and demand forecasting across multiple concurrent trials, using IRT/IVRS data and enrollment modeling to optimize inventory levels, minimize waste, and prevent supply disruptions to clinical sites.
  • Oversee clinical packaging, labeling, and secondary manufacturing activities at CDMO/CMO sites, ensuring compliance with country-specific labeling requirements, GMP expectations, and blinding requirements for randomized controlled trials.
  • Manage import/export logistics and global trade compliance for IMP shipments across all active clinical geographies, including coordination of regulatory import permits, customs documentation, and country-specific distribution authorizations.
  • Establish and govern relationships with CDMOs, 3PLs, comparator drug suppliers, and specialty logistics vendors; define performance expectations, conduct business reviews, and manage escalations to ensure supply reliability.
  • Partner with Quality Assurance to ensure clinical supply chain operations meet GDP/GMP requirements; lead or support regulatory agency inspections, internal audits, and CDMO quality reviews as they relate to clinical supply.
  • Build and maintain clinical supply chain SOPs, batch disposition records, chain-of-custody documentation, and reconciliation processes in alignment with ICH E6 (GCP), GMP, and GDP expectations; author and update pharmacy manuals, Investigator Brochure supply sections, and site handling guidance.
  • Lead investigation of supply chain exceptions and deviations, including root cause analysis, CAPA development, implementation, and closure.

What they require

  • Bachelor's degree required in Supply Chain Management, Life Sciences, Engineering, Pharmacy, or a related discipline; advanced degree (M.S., MBA, or equivalent) strongly preferred.
  • 10+ years of clinical supply chain experience in the pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical industry, with at least 3 years in a leadership role with direct accountability for global clinical supply operations.
  • Demonstrated expertise in end-to-end clinical supply chain management, including demand planning, IMP packaging and labeling, IRT/IVRS systems, global distribution, cold chain logistics, and depot management.
  • Deep knowledge of global GMP, GDP, and GCP regulations as they apply to clinical supply chain operations, including FDA 21 CFR Parts 211/312, EU GMP Annex 13, and ICH E6(R2); familiarity with country-specific import/export requirements across clinical geographies.
  • Familiarity with clinical supply chain management for both small molecules and biologics/large molecules, including specific cold chain and stability considerations for protein-based therapeutics.
  • Proficiency with supply chain management tools, ERP/CTMS systems, and clinical supply planning platforms; Track record of building clinical supply chain infrastructure, SOPs, and operational processes in a pre-commercial or rapidly scaling biotech organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead through influence in a matrixed organization, aligning Clinical Operations, CMC, Quality, Regulatory, and Finance stakeholders.
  • Proven track record of operating effectively in pre-commercial, resource-constrained environments — building clinical supply infrastructure from the ground up while executing active trial timelines.
  • Strong written communication skills and facilitation skills for cross-functional meetings and vendor business reviews.
