- Continuously assess the drug product manufacturing partner portfolio against current and forecasted PRD needs to identify gaps or emerging risk, leveraging dedicated sourcing intake tools and follow-up with CM&C project teams.
- Partner with Procurement to identify, RFI, and shortlist new manufacturing partners where portfolio gaps exist, and lead due diligence teams — including on-site visits — to assess candidate providers.
- Support the PRD DP Platform Strategies by filtering new vendor needs against established platform guidance where available, applying independent judgment where platform strategy has not yet been defined for a given drug product platform.
- Proactively track emerging manufacturing trends (new modalities, container closure systems, manufacturing technologies) to anticipate capability needs ahead of clinical demand.
- Support Phase 3 transition planning with Strategic Facilities Planning (SFP) to place projects with suppliers appropriate for eventual transition to Commercial Manufacturing.

**Vendor Relationship Management & Performance**

- Serve as Alliance Manager for key Drug Product CMOs tiered as Critical or Leverage within the PRD Supplier Governance framework, in close partnership with Clinical Trial (CT) Manufacturing management, building strong, collaborative partnerships with contract manufacturers.
- Monitor and manage vendor performance metrics and communicate performance scorecards and business reviews with third-party manufacturing partners to support continued improvement and future sourcing decisions.
- Serve as a key point of contact for issue escalation and resolution with manufacturing partners, applying strong cross-cultural and cross-functional communication skills across national and organizational cultures.

**Digital Sourcing Systems & Data Stewardship**

- Partner on the design, administration, and continuous improvement of digital sourcing and tracking systems used to manage clinical drug product manufacturing demand, capacity, and vendor performance data.
- Contribute vendor capability, capacity, and performance data toward a unified, centralized supplier tracking and capability database for the External Supply Chain & Operations network.
- Support the evaluation and adoption of emerging AI-enabled sourcing tools that improve partner-capability, capacity, and performance decision-making across the network.

- Strong vendor relationship management, negotiation, and conflict-resolution skills; ability to communicate effectively across cultures and organizational levels, in both written and verbal formats.
- Experience leading supplier due diligence and qualification efforts, including on-site assessments.
- Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and adjust quickly to change.
