* Liaise with study stakeholders to resolve logistics issues, provide timely status updates, and obtain required information to unblock execution.
* Ensure alignment with study priorities, enrolment needs, and clinical milestones.
STO & Shipment Monitoring
* Perform continuous monitoring of all STOs (internal and external depots), identifying risks related to availability, release, transport, or handovers.
* Track shipment progress and intervene proactively in case of delays, deviations, or exceptions.
* Coordinate urgent and priority shipments, including temperature-sensitive or patient-critical deliveries.
External Partner Coordination
* Follow up closely with external partners (e.g., CMOs, packagers, depots such as Catalent) on transfer timelines, release readiness, and shipment execution.
* Actively manage delays or constraints, escalating as needed to maintain supply continuity.
* Ensure logistics execution is aligned with agreed service levels and study priorities.
Release & Timeline Alignment
* Stay closely aligned with TSM teams on release timelines to enable timely shipment execution.
* Anticipate downstream logistics impacts of release delays and proactively define mitigation actions.
* Provide weekly hyper-care status reporting, including STO health, shipment execution, risks, mitigations, and prioritization.

* Escalate risks, delays, or systemic issues in a timely manner to relevant governance forums and leadership.
Qualifications
* Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Supply Chain, Life Sciences, Engineering, or a related field.
* Proven experience in clinical supply chain logistics operations, preferably in a global clinical trial environment.
