About Us

We are developing potentially best in class therapies for patients living with severe autoimmune diseases. Our lead antibody, claseprubart (DNTH103), is purposefully engineered with extended half-life, improved potency, and high selectivity for only the active C1s complement protein that drives disease pathology – enabling less frequent and more convenient self-administered subcutaneous injections. Our second clinical candidate, DNTH212 is a first and potentially best in class, bifunctional inhibitor that targets clinically validated and complementary disease modifying mechanisms, Type 1 IFN suppression and B cell modulation – enabling potential for improved clinical outcomes and patient friendly convenient, self-administered subcutaneous injections.

About the Role

Reporting to the Senior Director, Supply Chain, the Manager, Supply Chain Logistics will execute high-value, end-to-end cold-chain logistics for biologics, focusing heavily on APAC, EU, and US based CRO/CMO/CDMO inventory management, APAC-US, EU-US, and US-EU inbound freight forwarding, and domestic transportation. This role is responsible for global transportation of drug substance, drug product, and various sample and stability materials. This role is also responsible for maintaining tight inventory control over large molecule drug substance, drug product, and other materials and components across a fragmented external manufacturing network. The ideal candidate will anticipate and mitigate cross-border transit risks; ensure strict GxP and temperature compliance, optimize international transportation lanes, and streamline customs clearance to guarantee zero-defect product delivery.

You will build effective partnerships with key stakeholders across a range of functions, including CMC and GMP manufacturing, Analytical Development, Quality Assurance, Discovery, and external service providers, including CROs/CMOs/CDMOs, 3PLs, and freight vendors to ensure delivery of our materials to support all product programs. Additionally, you will partner with 3PLs to ensure delivery timeline adherence and resolve customs holds and delays. Prior experience with global pharmaceutical logistics and inventory management is essential to be successful in this role.

This is an exciting opportunity to make significant contributions to the evolution of Dianthus’ global supply chain strategy to support our clinical development program(s) and beyond. We are building a culture of individuals who hold our core principles at the center of our operations, with the goal to elevate the care of our patients’ lives. We are open to you working remotely.
