The posting

About Us

Kardigan is a heart health company working to make cardiovascular disease preventable, curable and no longer the leading cause of death in the world.

It is Kardigan’s mission to develop multiple targeted treatments in parallel that bring people with cardiovascular diseases to the cures they deserve.

Led by Tassos Gianakakos, Jay Edelberg, M.D., Ph.D., and Bob McDowell, Ph.D., Kardigan’s co-founders have reunited after leading MyoKardia to discover and develop mavacamten, the first cardiac myosin inhibitor, resulting in an acquisition by Bristol Myers Squibb in 2020.

We have a cutting-edge discovery and translational research platform, a pipeline of late-stage candidates, and an industry-leading team that is driven to improve the lives of patients.

At Kardigan, we are motivated by our values which guide how we work, interact, and achieve our goals. Driven by patients and their families, we are deeply committed to improving the lives of patients and prioritizing their needs above all else. We believe in being authentic—leading with truth to bring out the best in others by creating an environment where every person knows they will be fully accepted. With an eagerness to learn, we encourage the highest levels of curiosity and are open to changing our minds. We are committed to winning as a team with urgency, excellence, and intention, and support each other no matter what role we play or where we sit. Lastly, we strive to enable the impossible because patients are counting on us. We are not afraid to take risks to unlock innovation and advance scientific discoveries.

These values are the foundation of our work, empowering us to make a real difference, every day.

*Biotechnology/Pharmaceutical Experience is Required

Reporting to the Senior Director, Head of Planning, the Director, Technical Operations Demand & Supply Planning will lead execution of integrated demand, supply, inventory, and planning processes across Kardigan’s outsourced manufacturing and clinical supply network.

You will work closely with teams across Technical Operations, CMC, Clinical Operations, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Finance, Procurement, Program Management, External Manufacturing, Clinical Supply Chain, and external partners. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys bringing structure to ambiguity, connecting strategy to execution, and using data to help teams make smart decisions in a fast-moving clinical development environment.

What You’ll Do

  • Build demand plans that translate clinical enrollment assumptions, protocol requirements, regional plans, and future launch expectations into practical forecasts.
  • Create integrated supply plans across drug substance, drug product, packaging, labeling, testing, release, distribution, and clinical supply activities.
  • Help ensure patients and clinical sites have the supply they need by balancing service, continuity, shelf life, and inventory investment.
  • Track inventory health, supply plan performance, forecast accuracy, capacity constraints, and emerging risks before they become issues.
  • Partner with External Manufacturing and Technical Operations to align CDMO execution activities with approved demand and supply plans.
  • Lead scenario planning for demand changes, manufacturing delays, batch outcomes, inventory needs, capacity availability, and launch readiness.
  • Turn complex planning data into clear recommendations, dashboards, and decision points for cross-functional planning and governance forums.
  • Improve how planning gets done by strengthening templates, assumptions, reporting cadences, data quality, and planning tools.

What You’ll Bring

  • 10+ years in Biotech/Pharma technical operations, supply chain planning, demand planning, supply planning, clinical supply, manufacturing planning, or related operations roles.
  • Biotechnology/Pharma experience is required
  • Strong understanding of clinical-stage supply chains, outsourced manufacturing networks, CDMO/CMO coordination, and planning across drug substance, drug product, packaging, labeling, testing, release, and distribution.
  • Ability to build forecasts, supply plans, inventory scenarios, planning dashboards, and data-driven recommendations that support cross-functional decisions.
  • Clear communicator who can influence without direct authority and partner effectively with technical, operational, financial, clinical, and executive stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations Management, Engineering, Life Sciences, Business, or a related discipline required; advanced degree, MBA, or APICS/ASCM certification preferred.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience in a clinical-stage, pre-commercial, launch-stage, or rapidly scaling biotech/pharma organization.
  • Experience supporting S&OP, Integrated Business Planning, long-range planning, or supply governance processes.
  • Experience with ERP, planning, inventory visibility, IRT, dashboarding, or analytics tools.
  • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, matrixed environment where priorities evolve and processes are still being built.

Exact Compensation may vary based on skills, experience and location.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
