Manager, Supply Chain Operations

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.

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.

• Direct dock-to-stock execution, including sampling coordination with QC and disciplined quarantine-to-release material flow.
• Ensure inbound inspection, identification, and status control are performed accurately and in compliance with cGMP and GDP requirements.

• Lead GMP warehouse operations for raw materials, consumables, intermediates, and finished goods, enforcing segregation, labeling, housekeeping, and access controls.
• Maintain controlled and cold-chain storage conditions with continuous monitoring and prompt excursion response.
• Own ERP transaction accuracy and data integrity for all material movements, ensuring compliant, audit-ready records.

• Oversee batch kit build, campaign readiness, and staging to the production schedule, ensuring right-first-time execution and full traceability.
• Proactively manage material timing and release dependencies to eliminate schedule risk at point of use.

• Manage point-of-use delivery, replenishment, and GMP suite material control, including reconciliation of returns and disposition.
• Partner with Manufacturing to ensure uninterrupted material availability during production.

• Execute the cycle-count program, perform variance root-cause analysis, and lead the annual physical inventory.
• Inventory accuracy is a shared target — strategy is set with Planning and execution is owned by Operations.

• Direct inbound/outbound freight, cold-chain shipping, import/export, and courier management in compliance with GDP and applicable regulations.
• Oversee coordination and completion of finished-product shipments, including receipt confirmation and chain-of-custody control.

• Provide oversight of off-site warehouse and 3PL partners, monitoring performance against KPIs and maintaining audit readiness.
• Coordinate material transfer between vendors, off-site storage, and receiving to ensure smooth, compliant material flow.

• Own GMP records, procedure management, and the initiation and closure of deviations and CAPAs within the material operations area.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert and function representative during client audits and regulatory inspections.
• Feed supplier performance signals from receiving and deviations back into vendor scorecards through the supplier feedback loop.

• Develop, train, and lead supply chain operations staff — supervisors, leads, material handlers, and associates — building bench strength and accountability.
• Apply Lean principles (5S, standard work, Kaizen) to improve flow, reduce waste, and strengthen operating systems.
• Participate in integrated S&OP and material-readiness reviews tied to the production schedule, with clear deviation and CAPA escalation paths.
• Comply with all safety…
