Looking to join a passionate team dedicated to developing and manufacturing life-saving biopharmaceuticals? Avid Bioservices is a leading clinical and commercial biologics CDMO focused on creating innovative solutions to meet the needs of our clients and improve patient outcomes.
Your Role:Join our exceptional team as the Manager, Supply Chain Operations and take ownership of the daily execution that keeps our GMP manufacturing running. In this hands-on leadership role, you will direct the physical control, movement, and compliance of material — from dock-to-stock receiving through warehousing, kitting, point-of-use issuance, and outbound logistics — ensuring materials are available, released, and production-ready in alignment with the manufacturing schedule.
Operating within a regulated cGMP environment, you will build a disciplined, inspection-ready operation supported by strong quality systems and seamless coordination with Manufacturing, Planning, Quality, and external partners. Leveraging Lean principles and rigorous attention to detail, you will develop a high-performing team, drive inventory accuracy, and serve as a subject-matter expert for material operations during client audits and regulatory inspections.
