• Review and challenge clinical protocols with respect to IP supply, ensuring supply feasibility, identifying constraints, and agreeing supply options and risks with study teams before study initiation.
• Develop, implement and maintain IP demand and supply plans for each assigned study, modelling demand from patient enrolment forecasts, treatment regimens, duration and protocol design, and keeping plans up to date as studies progress.
• Define and manage depot and pack site inventory policies and collaborate with worldwide depots to meet in-country requirements, including management of IP expiry, extensions, replenishment and destruction strategies.
• Ensure label content and data are defined in the appropriate systems; liaise with labelling and packaging experts on pack design and components; and ensure appropriate IRT contracts and study set-up are in place, including packing and distribution strategies and IVRS/IWRS specifications as applicable.
• Execute supply plans to deliver on published study milestones with consistent, on-time, compliant delivery to patients, while minimising waste and ensuring timely communication and escalation of supply issues.
• Lead complex problem solving across technical, quality, regulatory and operational dimensions without compromising quality, cost or delivery, maintaining appropriate documentation in accordance with GxP and the Trial Master File (TMF).
• Monitor study KPIs, identify trends and implement corrective and preventive actions, contributing to continuous improvement of supply chain processes and ways of working.
• Oversee externalised supply chain activities by creating study-specific technical agreements, providing inputs to vendor proposals and proactively identifying and resolving obstacles with external partners.
