About The Position

As our pipeline matures, you will play a critical role in scaling our clinical supply operations from early exploratory phases into complex, global pivotal trials. In this role, you will lead end-to-end clinical supply chain strategy for assigned global programs, establishing Phase I/II processes while building for the large-scale requirements of Phase III pivotal trials. You will oversee complex clinical demand forecasting, packaging, labeling, global distribution, logistics, and inventory management as trial footprints expand internationally. You will manage external packaging vendors, CMOs, and trial supply depots while implementing, scaling, and optimizing IRT/RTSM logic to support flexible, complex trial designs. You will build and improve data-driven workflows by leveraging AI and advanced tools to optimize forecasting, inventory management, and logistics processes. You will partner seamlessly across Clinical Operations, Quality Assurance, Regulatory, and CMC to ensure supply strategies align with accelerating trial milestones and commercial readiness. You will create scalable supply chain tools, SOPs, and proactive risk-mitigation strategies capable of supporting registrational trials, flexible protocols, and uninterrupted patient supply.
