Trial Supply Manager – Global Clinical Supply Chain
Remote with on site presence once/twice a month - Greater London
Contract duration - 6 months
We’re supporting a global biopharmaceutical organisation with a high-impact clinical pipeline to hire a Trial Supply Manager within their Global Clinical Supply Chain team.
This role sits firmly on the operational / execution side of clinical supply and is ideal for someone who enjoys owning studies end-to-end, working cross-functionally, and keeping complex global trials running smoothly.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for managing clinical supply for assigned assets or compounds across multiple studies, from study start-up through close-out, ensuring investigational material is packaged, labelled, released, distributed and available to sites on time.
You’ll work closely with clinical teams, logistics partners, quality, packaging & labelling, and IRT vendors to translate forecasts into executable supply plans and manage ongoing supply throughout the life of the trial.
Key Responsibilities
* Own clinical supply execution for assigned compounds and global studies
* Translate demand forecasts into packaging, labelling and distribution plans
* Raise and manage packaging & labelling requests
* Manage study supply within IRT systems (configuration, maintenance, issue resolution)
* Liaise with Clinical, Logistics, Quality and external vendors to ensure timely delivery
* Manage expiry, use-date extensions and supply issues at site or depot level
* Support batch release, inspections and inspection readiness activities
* Identify risks, propose mitigation strategies and support continuous improvement
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in clinical supply chain / logistics within pharma or biotech
* Strong hands-on experience across packaging, labelling, distribution and IRT
* End-to-end exposure to Phase I–III global clinical trials
* Solid understanding of GCP, GDP and GMP
* Global trial experience required (UK-only experience cannot be considered)
* Experience across multiple therapeutic areas and study designs
* Bachelor’s degree in a scientific discipline
Why This Role?
* Work on a diverse, global clinical portfolio
* High visibility within cross-functional study teams
* Opportunity to own studies and assets rather than narrow tasks
* Strong values-led culture with patient impact at the core
* Flexible, modern working environment
