What is a clinical supply chain?

A Clinical Supply Chain job involves managing the procurement, storage, and distribution of investigational drugs and medical supplies for clinical trials. Professionals in this role ensure that study materials are available on time, in the correct quantities, and under proper regulatory conditions. They collaborate with manufacturing, logistics, and clinical teams to maintain compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Clinical Practices (GCP). Their work helps ensure the smooth execution of clinical trials while minimizing supply risks and delays.

Experience with clinical trial management systems (CTMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools, and certifications like APICS or Six Sigma are highly valued. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and the capacity to work cross-functionally are crucial soft skills in this area. Mastering these competencies ensures clinical trials are efficiently supplied, compliant, and able to meet critical research timelines.

What are some typical challenges faced by those working in clinical supply chain roles?

Professionals in Clinical Supply Chain roles often encounter challenges such as managing tight timelines, ensuring compliance with complex regulatory requirements, and coordinating the delivery of sensitive investigational products across multiple sites. Balancing supply and demand forecasting while adapting to sudden changes in study protocols or site needs is also common. Success in this role requires not only strong organizational and logistical skills but also the ability to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams including clinical operations, quality assurance, and vendors. Overcoming these challenges is vital to ensuring clinical trials stay on track and treatments reach patients safely and efficiently.

Responsibilities

  • Build demand forecasts and supply plans alongside CMC and Clinical Ops, working through the added complexity of combination regimens and trials that span the US, EU, and Greater China.

  • Own the clinical supply budget and vendor spend, and weigh in on timelines and risk with the broader program teams.
  • Be the supply chain voice in cross-functional program meetings and keep leadership in the loop on anything that could affect timelines and costs.

  • Comfort working hands-on in IRT/IWRS platforms and forecasting tools.
  • Solid working knowledge of GMP, GCP, and the import/export rules that govern investigational product across borders.
  • A track record of building processes from scratch, not just operating within a function someone else already set up, is a strong plus.
  • Confidence negotiating with and managing vendors, you will own those relationships directly, not only monitor them.
  • A genuine collaborator — this role touches CMC, Clinical Ops, Regulatory, and Quality constantly, and none of it works if you operate in a silo.
What We Offer
  • Opportunity to join a mission-driven team where you'll contribute to impactful work, take on varied responsibilities, and grow quickly in a dynamic environment
  • Competitive compensation, including base salary, performance bonus, and equity
  • 100% employer-paid benefits package
