  • Strengthen cold chain management and logistics practices, ensuring quality and compliance standards are met end-to-end
  • Partner with IBL Ops to ensure efficient distribution, inventory visibility, and service level improvements
  • Ensure full regulatory and compliance alignment across supply operations, including DRAP, GDP, GMP, and import/export protocols
What You'll Bring
  • 5-10 years of experience in pharmaceutical supply chain or related industries, with clear upstream exposure
  • Demonstrated experience in S&OP design and execution, cross-functional planning, and supplier management
  • Working knowledge of SAP (preferably SAP MRP) and digital tools for planning and procurement
  • Strong understanding of pharma regulations and quality systems (DRAP, GMP, GDP)
  • Experience with cold chain operations, international logistics, and export planning
  • Proven ability to build, scale, or restructure supply chain teams and systems
  • Collaborative mindset with strong coordination and influencing skills across manufacturing, quality, and distribution functions
