  • Partner closely with Study Teams, Trial Supply Managers (TSMs), Regional Delivery Leads (RDLs), CMOs, depots, and logistics providers
  • Drive issue resolution, escalation management, and proactive risk mitigation during critical study phases
  • Track shipment execution timelines and intervene quickly where delays or deviations arise
  • Support release planning and align logistics activities with clinical milestones and enrollment priorities
  • Deliver regular hypercare status reporting including shipment health, risks, mitigations, and critical path updates
  • Ensure logistics activities remain compliant with GDP and clinical supply chain standards
Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Life Sciences, Engineering, or related discipline
  • 10+ years’ experience within clinical supply chain logistics operations in a global clinical trial environment
  • Strong operational experience with STO management, shipment coordination, and logistics issue resolution
  • Experience working with CMOs, depots, and external logistics providers
  • Strong understanding of clinical trial supply processes and GDP requirements
  • SAP knowledge is essential
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across cross‑functional and international teams
  • Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in time‑critical environments
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and organisational skills
Ideal Profile

The ideal candidate is a highly execution‑focused clinical supply chain professional who thrives in complex and fast‑moving environments. You will be comfortable operating as the central coordination point between study teams, logistics providers, and external partners, ensuring critical clinical shipments are delivered on time and without disruption.

Experience managing urgent or high‑risk clinical supply situations, combined with a proactive and solutions‑oriented mindset, will be key to success in this role.
