• Coordinate culture media/buffer manufacture (internal and external): forecasting, scheduling, batch documentation, and lead laboratory studies with Process Development when required to define critical parameters.
• Maintain and optimize inventory visibility and storage capacity (including single‑use), implement replenishment strategies, and drive mitigation plans for shortages, supplier issues, or quality holds.
• Author and enforce SOPs, release protocols, work instructions, and change‑control documentation using validated repositories and tools.
• Lead cross‑functional projects: develop charters/scopes/schedules/resource plans/risk registers/budgets; manage vendors, run status meetings, and report KPIs and risks to stakeholders.
• Provide production support: coordinate incident management for material shortages or release failures, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective/preventive actions with Quality and Procurement.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to reduce lead times, improve inventory turns, reduce cost, and enhance compliance (Lean/Six Sigma principles).
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to planners and release staff; participate in network benchmarking and standardization across sites.
• Must be available for occasional off‑shift or overtime work to support critical campaign execution.

Education Requirements:

• BS, MS, or MBA degree in Engineering or Biological Sciences with a minimum of 7 years of relevant experience within the Pharmaceutical or Biopharmaceutical industry.

Required Experience and Skills:

• Demonstrated experience in raw material planning/procurement and inventory management for GMP manufacturing is required, with SAP experience.
• Proven experience in release management for raw materials and culture media, including generation and review of release documentation, coordination with testing laboratories, and disposition decisions, is essential.
• Serve as primary point of contact for Supplier Change Notifications: track, review, assess impact, coordinate supplier/internal mitigation or qualification activities, and document outcomes in change‑control systems.
• Practical experience with validated systems and document repositories (for example RLIMS2, SAP, Veeva, MEDS)
• The candidate must have strong knowledge of regulatory requirements governing clinical supply manufacture and release (cGMP, CFR) and data integrity best practices.
