Associate Director, Supply Chain & Logistics

Atrium is a biopharmaceutical company pioneering delivery of RNA therapeutics to the heart to transform the standard of care for people living with cardiomyopathies. Our proprietary technology leverages the targeted RNA delivery platform initially designed at Avidity, which combines the tissue selectivity of mAbs and other targeted delivery ligands with the precision of oligonucleotides.
This unique combination is designed to allow selective targeting of the underlying genetic drivers of disease that were previously undruggable. Through targeted, non-viral delivery of siRNA to cardiac tissues, our approach has the potential to overcome key limitations of nonspecific viral and nanoparticle-based delivery systems, including challenges related to tissue specificity, immunogenicity, and redosing.

Atrium Therapeutics is seeking an experienced Associate Director, Clinical Supply Chain & Logistics to manage the end-to-end planning, execution, and oversight of clinical trial material supply for Atrium’s cardiomyopathy programs. This role owns clinical supply forecasting, packaging and labeling, IRT/RTSM configuration, depot vendor management and distribution, and has an expanded scope to include responsibility for shipping and logistics operations — including carrier and freight-forwarder management, import/export and customs compliance, cold-chain shipment coordination and execution for Atrium Technical Operations and other teams.

The role partners closely with Clinical Operations, Quality, Technical Operation, Regulatory, and external CMO/3PL partners to ensure uninterrupted, compliant, and on-time drug supply. Level of hire (Senior Manager vs. Associate Director) will be determined based on the selected candidate’s experience.

• Manage relationships with couriers, freight forwarders, and specialty cold-chain carriers
• Own import/export compliance, including licenses, permits, customs documentation, and country-specific import requirements for material shipments.
• Oversee cold-chain and temperature-controlled shipment execution, including packaging qualification, temperature excursion investigation, and corrective action.
