About the role

Drive clinical site enablement strategy from a supply chain perspective, including site feasibility, import pathway confirmation, lane qualification, site-level delivery requirements, and training material development.
12+ years in clinical supply chain management, with progressive leadership responsibility for global clinical trial supply strategy, design, startup, and execution in complex, regulated environments.
Demonstrated people leadership experience, including building, mentoring, and developing teams in matrixed, global organizations.
Demonstrated ability to build capabilities and organizations from the ground up - operating models, process design, systems requirements, governance structures, and documentation where established playbooks don't exist.
