Manager Clinical Supply

We are supporting a growing, innovation-driven biopharmaceutical company in hiring an experienced Clinical Drug Supply Manager to strengthen its Clinical Supply Operations team. As the company expands its global clinical development programs, this newly created position will play a key role in ensuring the reliable availability of investigational products for clinical sites worldwide.
This role is ideal for candidates who want to take real ownership, enjoy working closely with CDMOs, and see Clinical Supply as a strategic career path rather than a purely operational function.

Your Impact
In this role, you will manage the end-to-end clinical trial supply chain for assigned studies. You ensure that all investigational materials—from packaging and labeling to distribution and site supply—are delivered with precision, quality, and full compliance.
You will be the primary point of contact for clinical supplies at trial level, collaborating closely with Clinical Operations, Tech Ops, CMC, Quality and external partners.

Your Responsibilities

• Lead clinical supply planning, forecasting and inventory management for assigned studies
• Coordinate packaging, labeling and distribution activities with CDMOs and logistics partners
• Oversee operational activities at external supply partners, ensuring timelines, quality and on-time delivery
• Prepare supply strategies, study-specific supply plans and distribution documentation
• Ensure efficient site supply through proactive shipment tracking, import/export coordination and issue resolution
• Lead the set-up, UAT and operational use of RTSM/IRT systems for clinical supply management
• Maintain inspection readiness and support audits and regulatory submissions
• Contribute to process improvements and continuous optimization of supply operations

Must-have experience

• Minimum 3–5 years in pharmaceutical Clinical Supply or Clinical Trial Materials management
• Proven experience working with CDMOs (packaging, labeling, distribution)
• Hands-on experience with RTSM/IRT platforms (e.g., IXRS, 4G Clinical, Cenduit, Medidata RTSM)
• Solid understanding of clinical supply planning, expiry management, and global logistics
• Excellent MS-Office skills and fluent English communication

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Medidata applications
• APICS, Supply Chain certification, or related further training
• Experience in early access / compassionate use programs

What’s In It for You

• A newly created role with genuine ownership and responsibility
• A company culture that values quality of work, professional trust, and individual contribution
• The chance to grow with expanding clinical programs and invest in your long-term career path
• Being part of a highly collaborative Supply Chain team in a company where every individual has visible impact

If you are motivated by responsibility, precision and being part of a growing clinical pipeline, we would be delighted to hear from you.
