At Biogen, our warehouse operations are critical to ensuring the uninterrupted supply of materials that support manufacturing and ultimately help deliver therapies to patients.

• Receive raw materials, verify supporting documentation, and accurately record transactions within inventory management systems.
• Ensure materials are correctly identified, segregated, stored, and supplied to support manufacturing operations.
• Perform cycle counts and support investigations into inventory discrepancies and stock variances.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and ensure compliance with applicable company policies and regulatory requirements, including cGMP, GDP, SOX, and HSE standards.

Who You Are:

You have experience within pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, or life sciences operations and are comfortable balancing warehouse activities with documentation and inventory management tasks.
