Industry: Global Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Distribution
Are you ready to take full ownership of logistics operations across EMEA for a high-growth, innovation-led pharma organisation? This is a rare opportunity to join a company at the forefront of delivering life-changing healthcare products across borders — where your logistics expertise will directly impact millions of patients worldwide.
We're hiring on behalf of a global pharmaceutical powerhouse with an established footprint in the EMEA region. This business is known for its cutting-edge portfolio, meticulous quality standards, and dynamic, values-led culture. They operate with a deep commitment to compliance and innovation, and are now looking for a seasoned logistics leader to join their high-performing EMEA Supply Chain team.
The Opportunity
As EMEA Logistics & 3PL Manager, you will take the reins of end-to-end logistics, warehousing, trade compliance, and distribution across the EMEA region — including oversight of controlled substances and cold chain processes. You'll lead on strategic logistics partnerships, ensure GDP/GMP compliance, and drive excellence across a multi-country pharmaceutical distribution network.
This role reports into the Chief Manager, Logistics EMEA and also provides dotted-line leadership to a Senior Logistics Officer and Senior 3PL Officer. It’s an influential position with real visibility and a strong project pipeline.
Key Responsibilities
* Own and develop logistics strategies to support commercial and manufacturing supply flows across EMEA.
* Lead relationships with key 3PL and freight partners, managing performance against SLAs and ensuring commercial alignment.
* Manage all inbound/outbound transportation, customs brokerage, and EU distribution for both ambient and temperature-sensitive products.
* Ensure GDP and regulatory compliance across European distribution activities.
* Act as SME for logistics operations involving controlled substances and high-risk goods.
* Manage logistics budgets (fixed & variable), contracts, and rate negotiations.
* Partner cross-functionally across QA, Regulatory, Commercial, and Manufacturing to deliver best-in-class logistics solutions.
* Leverage SAP (and other digital tools) to drive process improvement, reporting accuracy (EU MIS), and operational efficiency.
* Drive and support major logistics projects, including transport validation, process improvement and system upgrades.
What You’ll Need
* A degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering or similar; MSc or MBA highly advantageous.
* 8+ years of experience in pharmaceutical logistics or supply chain, ideally covering multiple EU countries.
* Hands-on SAP experience (minimum 5 years) is essential.
* Deep knowledge of GDP/GMP compliance, European customs, and controlled drug regulations.
* Strong leadership skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels across a matrix structure.
* Proven expertise managing temperature-controlled and complex pharmaceutical logistics.
* Analytical mindset, excellent communication skills, and a strategic approach to logistics optimisation.
Why Apply?
* Global impact: Your work will directly support patient access to critical medicines across borders.
* Autonomy & Influence: Take ownership of a high-profile, region-wide function in a business that values operational excellence.
* Career growth: Join a business that actively develops its people and promotes from within.
* Innovative culture: Be part of a collaborative team that’s not afraid to challenge the norm and pursue smarter ways of working.
