Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering if you already have exposure to clinical trials, pharmacy operations, or logistics and want a durable pharma-side career; without supply chain or clinical operations experience, expect a steep learning curve and strong competition.
Who should apply
Pharmacists with clinical trials, compounding, or investigational drug experience; research nurses or study coordinators who have handled IP accountability and shipping; doctors or IMGs with site-level trial exposure looking to move into sponsor-side clinical operations.
CV angle
Reframe real trial-site or pharmacy experience around product accountability, storage and temperature requirements, dispensing and reconciliation logs, protocol compliance, and coordination with sponsors, CROs, and depots. Quantify what you actually managed — number of studies, shipments, or product lots handled — and name any GMP/GDP, IRT/RTSM, or vendor interaction exposure without overstating it.
Skills to highlight
- Investigational product accountability and reconciliation
- Clinical trial protocol and GMP/GDP compliance
- Cold chain and temperature excursion handling
- Vendor, depot, and CRO coordination
- Supply forecasting and inventory tracking
- Study start-up and labeling/packaging requirements
- Cross-functional communication with clinical operations teams
Role summary
A sponsor-side clinical operations role at Novartis responsible for ensuring investigational drug supply reaches trial sites on time and in compliance — covering demand forecasting, packaging and labeling, depot and courier management, IRT/RTSM system oversight, and drug accountability documentation.
