Where applicable, leverage the N-Side Supply App to inform cost, waste and risk scenario analyses\nProvide robust demand scenarios and input into budget proposals for key governance decision points (DRC, E/LSPC)\nInput optimized IRT settings into IRT build and enable IRT/ Supply App system integration where applicable\nDemand Planning during Study Execution\nBuild relationships across clinical study teams to facilitate agreement of study demand and execute / challenge decision-making by communicating supply chain constraints, opportunities, and risk scenarios.\nAdhere to the planning cycle process; maintain and continuously refine demand assumptions and the demand plan for all study level materials\nWhere applicable, in N-Side Supply App, use clinical assumptions and supply chain planning processes to re-optimise the study and create a supply suggestion to implement the most optimal strategy considering key KPIs (cost, waste, risk, overage). Monitor KPI’s, mitigate and escalate deviations where required\nMonitor demand forecast accuracy, by comparing demand assumptions against actuals, escalating deviation as required\nCollaborate with Supply Planner to mitigate any supply constraints\nProvide input of demand changes into the CS&OP cycle\nPlan depot shipments to meet demand assumptions with overlaid clinical intelligence\nOwn re-design of the demand assumptions and plan in response to endorsed strategic change\nGeneral\n Master and apply optimization methodologies, track optimization impact on studies, and championing continuous improvement\nWork with system and service providers (e.g., N-SIDE, IRT) to manage system model and integration set up and maintenance\nEducation, Qualifications, Skills and Experience\n1) Clinical trial demand planning experience across design and execution\n· Proven ability to translate study designs and clinical assumptions into demand plans/supply suggestions, and to re-optimise in-flight as assumptions evolve.\n2) Proficiency with clinical planning/optimization tools and IRT\n· Deep understanding of of IRT (including configuring optimized settings) and a clinical supply optimization/scenario tool (e.g., N-SIDE Supply App or equivalent) to assess cost, waste, risk, and overage.\n3) Senior stakeholder influence and governance readiness\n· Track record collaborating with and influencing senior clinical and CM&S stakeholders from early design, and preparing robust scenarios/inputs for governance decisions\n4) Digitally literate and Strong analytical thinking\n· ndependent use of digital tools and analytical methods to interpret information, identify meaningful insights, and make evidence-based recommendations\n5) Communication and cross-functional collaboration\n· Strong communication to facilitate agreement on demand, articulate constraints/trade-offs, coordinate with Supply Planning, and document decisions in planning systems.\nDate Posted\n28-10月-2026Closing Date\n30-12月-2026AstraZeneca embraces diversity and equality of opportunity.
