Associate Director, Clinical Supply Chain Planning

The Opportunity

Collaborating with product leads and study managers, will ensure global clinical demand for RevMed and Non Rev-Med commercial products is accurately reflected within the N-side system on a monthly basis as part of DnOP process. Drive business process standardization, implementation, and training on new processes.

• Lead end-to-end clinical supply planning for assigned clinical programs and studies, from study start-up through closeout.
• Support the development of global clinical supply strategies aligned with clinical protocols, enrollment assumptions, dosing regimens, country activation plans, and program timelines.
• Build and maintain clinical supply forecasts, translating clinical demand into manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, and inventory requirements.
• Develop scenario analyses and supply models to evaluate enrollment changes, dose modifications, cohort expansions, geographic changes, and other protocol or operational assumptions.
• Establish appropriate inventory and safety-stock strategies to maintain continuity of supply while minimizing waste, obsolescence, and expiry risk.
• Monitor inventory levels, consumption, enrollment trends, expiry dates, and other supply indicators and proactively identify potential shortages or excess inventory.
• Drive continuous improvement of clinical supply planning processes, systems, metrics, and ways of working.
• Contribute to performance management, budgeting, and long-range clinical supply planning.
• Provide guidance and subject-matter expertise to colleagues and cross-functional partners on clinical supply planning and execution.

Required Skills, Experience and Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Life Sciences, Engineering, Business, or a related discipline; advanced degree preferred.
• Typically 8+ years of relevant experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology supply chain, including substantial experience supporting clinical-stage programs.

• Oncology experience preferred.
• Strong understanding of clinical development and the clinical supply lifecycle, including forecasting, manufacturing planning, packaging and labeling, distribution, depot management, inventory management, and returns/reconciliation.
• Experience developing demand forecasts and scenario models based on enrollment, dosing, treatment duration, randomization, site activation, and other clinical assumptions.
• N-side forecasting tool experience.
• Working knowledge of IRT/RTSM systems and their role in clinical supply management.
• Understanding of GMP/GDP requirements and relevant regulatory expectations governing clinical trial materials.
• Demonstrated ability to identify supply risks, evaluate tradeoffs, and develop practical mitigation strategies in a dynamic clinical development environment.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple studies and competing priorities.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with demonstrated ability to influence cross-functional teams without direct authority.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment where study assumptions and priorities may change rapidly.

Preferred Skills

• Experience supporting multiple clinical programs or studies simultaneously across different phases of development.
• Experience with oncology or other complex clinical development programs.
• Experience with global clinical trials and country-specific supply requirements.
• Familiarity with clinical supply planning, ERP, inventory management, and forecasting systems.
• Experience establishing clinical supply KPIs, dashboards, or operational performance metrics.
• Demonstrated experience improving clinical supply processes and implementing scalable planning practices.
