Demand Planner

Main objectives   Long Horizon Demand Planning • Input non-clinical demand into the planning system • Update of long-term and non-clinical demand​ in-line with defined process cadence   Design and Demand Planning prior to FSI • Collaborate effectively with clinical study design teams to understand the high-level study design and assumptions • Incorporate the demand assumptions into relevant planning systems • Effectively communicate leverage opportunities to influence optimal design decisions with senior stakeholders and shape feasibility with clinical teams. Where applicable, leverage the N-Side Supply App to inform cost, waste and risk scenario analyses • Provide robust demand scenarios and input into budget proposals for key governance decision points (DRC, E/LSPC) • Input optimized IRT settings into IRT build and enable IRT/ Supply App system integration where applicable   Demand Planning during Study Execution • Build 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. • Adhere to the planning cycle process; maintain and continuously refine demand assumptions and the demand plan for all study level materials • Where 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 • Monitor demand forecast accuracy, by comparing demand assumptions against actuals, escalating deviation as required • Collaborate with Supply Planner to mitigate any supply constraints • Provide input of demand changes into the CS&OP cycle • Plan depot shipments to meet demand assumptions with overlaid clinical intelligence • Own re-design of the demand assumptions and plan in response to endorsed strategic change General •  Master and apply optimization methodologies, track optimization impact on studies, and championing continuous improvement • Work with system and service providers (e.g., N-SIDE, IRT) to manage system model and integration set up and maintenance Education, Qualifications, Skills and Experience 1) Clinical trial demand planning experience across design and execution ·     Proven ability to translate study designs and clinical assumptions into demand plans/supply suggestions, and to re-optimise in-flight as assumptions evolve. 2) Proficiency with clinical planning/optimization tools and IRT ·     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. 3)  Senior stakeholder influence and governance readiness ·      Track record collaborating with and influencing senior clinical and CM&S stakeholders from early design, and preparing robust scenarios/inputs for governance decisions 4)   Digitally literate and Strong analytical thinking ·       ndependent use of digital tools and analytical methods to interpret information, identify meaningful insights, and make evidence-based recommendations 5)   Communication and cross-functional collaboration ·     Strong communication to facilitate agreement on demand, articulate constraints/trade-offs, coordinate with Supply Planning, and document decisions in planning systems.
