As Director, Global Supply Chain Planning, you will be the company’s first dedicated planning leader and global S&OP process owner - architecting and operating the integrated business planning infrastructure that connects Antheia’s commercial ambitions to its manufacturing and CDMO network. You will build from the ground up, establishing the processes, tools, cadence, and team that will underpin Antheia’s ability to continue scaling both OUS and US supply chains. Reporting to the SVP, Supply Chain & External Manufacturing, you will be a cross-functional integrator; partnering with Commercial Operations, Finance, Operations, Quality & Regulatory Affairs, and external CDMO partners to create a single version of the truth for demand and supply, and facilitating the executive decisions that keep Antheia on plan.

Global Supply Planning & Capacity Management Develop and maintain end-to-end supply plans integrating Antheia’s US manufacturing site and European CDMO partners into a unified global supply network view. Translate demand signals into executable supply plans across fermentation, downstream processing and distribution, identifying capacity constraints, bottlenecks, and risk mitigation options. Partner with Operations, Technical Operations, and CDMO partners to assess and balance global capacity, ensuring alignment with commercial commitments and financial targets. Establish supply planning processes that account for the unique dynamics of fermentation-based manufacturing including yield variability, batch campaign scheduling, and yield optimization initiatives. Drive supply scenario planning and contingency modeling to ensure business continuity and supply chain resilience. Inventory Strategy & Optimization Define and implement global inventory strategies including safety stock policies, buffer positioning, and segmentation logic across Antheia’s product portfolio and supply network. Monitor and manage inventory health using industry specific KPIs, providing regular reporting and recommended actions to leadership. Optimize working capital through disciplined inventory management without compromising customer service levels. New Product Introduction (NPI) Planning Lead supply chain planning for new product introductions, including commercial launches, product scale-ups, and technology transfers across Antheia’s growing pipeline. Collaborate with R&D, Quality & Regulatory Affairs, and Commercial teams to build integrated NPI timelines that align manufacturing readiness with market launch requirements. Establish validation batch planning, launch inventory build strategies, and supply risk mitigation plans for each new product entering commercial production. Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Management Act as the primary supply chain planning liaison to Commercial Operations, Finance, Operations and Quality & Regulatory Affairs, building a planning culture of transparency and accountability. Engage and manage planning-related interfaces with European CDMO partners, including capacity confirmations, rolling forecasts, and issue escalation. Influence senior stakeholders and executive leadership through clear, data-driven communication of supply/demand trade-offs and recommended courses of action.
