About the Role
Pre-Startup: As the Warehouse Supervisor, you will lead the comprehensive and timely ramp-up of all warehouse-related equipment, processes, and systems, ensuring full compliance with cGMP requirements throughout the design, qualification, and validation lifecycle. The warehouse will be highly automated, and this role will act as the business process expert for SAP/eWM, the Automated Storage/Retrieval System (ASRS), and other IT systems for inventory management. Responsibilities include defining specifications and process requirements, testing, authoring local procedures, and training the warehouse team.
- Collaborate with site functions (Quality, Manufacturing, Production Scheduling, Engineering, and Maintenance) to ensure successful project completion and efficient warehouse operations.
- Provide user input for the build and test phases of eWM implementation and act as the SAP/eWM superuser for the warehouse.

- Partner with ASRS and Warehouse Control System (WCS) vendors during the commissioning phase to troubleshoot logic errors and optimize throughput bottlenecks before site go-live.
- Recruit, interview, and onboard the foundation team of warehouse operators, establishing a culture of "Right First Time" compliance early in the project.
Post-Startup: Following successful go-live and validation, you will transition into the Warehouse Supervisor role, leading a team of warehouse operators in a high-volume GMP warehouse.
- Direct daily warehouse activities, including receiving raw materials, staging for production, and shipping finished drug products for CVRM therapies.
- Maintain near-100% inventory accuracy through a rigorous cycle counting program and real-time transaction monitoring within SAP/eWM.
- Lead investigations into warehouse deviations and environmental excursions, serving as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) during internal and external regulatory audits (FDA/EMA).
- Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) such as "Dock-to-Stock" time, order fulfillment rates, and safety incident rates to drive continuous improvement.
- Coordinate with Engineering and Maintenance to ensure the ASRS and other automated systems undergo regular preventative maintenance without disrupting production schedules.
