Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have clinical trial operations, investigational product, or pharma supply chain experience — ideally with pharmacist or research background. Without that, the Associate Director bar makes this a low-probability application.
Who should apply
Pharmacists with clinical trials, IMP handling, or hospital drug accountability experience; physicians or research coordinators who have run trial logistics; pharma supply chain professionals with clinical development exposure; clinicians who have completed an industry-facing fellowship or rotation in clinical operations.
CV angle
Reframe real experience around investigational product lifecycle: drug accountability and dispensing records, GMP/GDP compliance, cold chain and storage handling, IRT/IVRS or EDC system use, site-level supply reconciliation, and coordination with sponsors, CROs, and vendors. Quantify trial volume, sites supported, and audit/inspection outcomes rather than clinical duties.
Skills to highlight
- Clinical supply chain and investigational product management
- GMP/GDP and regulatory compliance
- Drug accountability and reconciliation
- IRT/IVRS and clinical systems literacy
- Vendor and CRO oversight
- Demand forecasting and inventory planning
- Cold chain and logistics coordination
- Cross-functional collaboration with clinical, quality, and regulatory teams
