  • Champion advanced analytics, AI‑enabled forecasting, and digital planning tools.
  • Build dashboards and KPIs to monitor forecast reliability, capacity utilization, inventory performance, and service levels.

  • Manage relationships with 3PLs, packaging vendors, and distribution partners to ensure alignment on demand and capacity.
  • Provide planning leadership for clinical studies, global launches, and major supply chain initiatives.

Risk Management & Compliance

  • Identify and mitigate supply‑demand gaps, capacity risks, and logistics bottlenecks.
  • Ensure compliance with GxP and global regulatory requirements across planning and logistics processes.
  • Lead scenario planning for temperature excursions, supply disruptions, geopolitical risks, and market volatility.
