Job Description
Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly motivated Clinical Drug Supply Manager, Radiopharmaceuticals, to lead the planning, coordination, and execution of clinical supply activities for our radiopharmaceutical programs. This role is critical to ensuring uninterrupted supply of investigational products across clinical sites, while navigating the unique logistical and regulatory challenges of radiopharmaceuticals, including short half-lives and specialized handling requirements.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building systems and processes rather than inheriting them. Success will require adaptability, resourcefulness, and a willingness to take ownership beyond traditional job boundaries. We are seeking an individual who views challenges as opportunities and is excited by the prospect of helping shape the future operating model of a growing radiopharmaceutical company. This position will report to our Head of Clinical Operations. This position can be located in Oslo, Norway, EU remote, or USA with a preference for candidates in the east coast time zone.

- Develop forecasting tools, inventory tracking systems, and supply dashboards
- Coordinate manufacturing, labeling, packaging, and distribution with internal teams and external vendors (CMOs, CROs, depots)
- Manage just-in-time production and delivery logistics aligned to isotope half-life constraints
- Forecast clinical supply needs and monitor inventory to ensure uninterrupted trial execution
- Oversee vendor performance and maintain strong relationships with manufacturing and logistics partners
- Ensure compliance with GMP, GDP, and all regulatory requirements related to radiopharmaceutical handling and transport
- Collaborate closely with Clinical Operations, CMC, Quality, and Regulatory teams
- Identify risks to supply and proactively develop mitigation strategies
- Support development of SOPs, supply chain processes, and operational infrastructure
- Track and report key metrics, timelines, and budgets related to drug supply
- Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Supply Chain, or related field (advanced degree a plus)
- 5+ years of experience in clinical supply, drug supply management, or supply chain within biotech/pharma
- Experience with radiopharmaceuticals, nuclear medicine, cell and gene therapy, PET imaging agents, or other time-critical clinical supply chains strongly preferred.
- Strong understanding of GMP, GDP, and clinical trial supply requirements
- Experience managing external vendors (CMOs, depots, logistics providers)
- Exceptional organizational and problem-solving skills with attention to detail
- Thrive in ambiguity and enjoy building processes from the ground up
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
- Are excited to work in a fast-moving, science-driven startup environment where every individual can make a meaningful impact
- Maintain the highest standards of quality and patient focus
Preferred Experience:
- Experience supporting INDs and global clinical trials
- Familiarity with radioactive material handling regulations (e.g., DOT, NRC, IATA)
- A background working with radiopharmaceutical CDMOs and isotope suppliers
- Experience with Interactive Response Technology (IRT) systems and clinical supply forecasting tools
- Prior experience working in startup or high-growth biotechnology companies
