Who we are

Together, we’re on a mission to make good health more affordable and accessible, to help millions around the world enjoy healthier lives. It’s a mission that bonds our people across nearly 60 countries and a rich, diverse variety of nationalities and backgrounds. Working here means working with the world’s leading manufacturer of generic medicines, and the proud producer of many of the products on the World Health Organization’s Essential Medicines List.

Today, at least 200 million people around the world take one of our medicines every single day. An amazing number, but we’re always looking for new ways to continue making a difference, and new people to make a difference with.

The opportunity

We are seeking an experienced Senior Director/Head, Global Clinical Supply Chain to lead end-to-end clinical supply operations across a diverse and scaling portfolio (Phases 1–4). This leader will be responsible for optimizing, executing, and transforming our global clinical supply chain—including forecasting, planning, packaging and labeling operations, IRT/RTSM strategy, distribution, cold-chain management, depot oversight, vendor/CMO management, and returns/destruction. Additionally, the role will oversee sourcing, secondary packaging operations, and integration with Finance/ERP systems for procurement and financial governance.

The role is critical to ensuring uninterrupted supply of innovative medicines, complex generics, and biosimilars across global trials. The ideal candidate brings deep operational leadership, strong technical and digital acumen, and a proven track record of building, modernizing, and leading high-performing clinical supply organizations in small to mid-scale pharmaceutical environments.

This position will be based out of Parsippany, NJ or West Chester, PA in a hybrid work environment, 2-3 days onsite.
