Supply Chain Specialist / Senior Specialist

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Supply Chain Specialist manages day to day cGMP supply chain operations, including material receipt, quarantine/release segregation, staging, issuance, and cold chain/ambient shipping.

Success in this role requires a compliance first mindset, extreme precision, high personal ownership, and customer service orientation to both internal and external customers.
