Associate Director – Strategy & Consulting — Pharma Supply Chain Reinvention & Client Advisory

Pharmaceutical supply chains are being reinvented. Pressure on product availability, resilience, service and working capital — together with the rapid rise of AI, automation and digital — is pushing supply chain leaders to rethink how planning, customer operations, logistics and distribution are run.

We are seeking a senior pharmaceutical supply chain leader who can engage credibly with client executives, shape strategic transformation agendas, and bring a compelling vision for the future of pharmaceutical supply chains. You will help clients define and accelerate the next generation of planning, customer operations, logistics and distribution capabilities — leveraging data, AI, automation and digital to create more resilient, agile and patient-centric supply chains.

This is primarily a strategic advisory, opportunity-shaping and executive engagement role rather than a day-to-day delivery management position. You will combine deep industry experience with strong advisory and business-development skills, translating supply chain challenges into transformative initiatives that deliver measurable business value.

• Significant experience in pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical supply chains, gained through industry, consulting, or a combination of both.
• Deep expertise across end-to-end supply chain management, with particular strength in several of: integrated business planning (IBP), demand and supply planning, customer service, logistics and distribution, inventory optimisation, supply chain resilience, and operating model design.
• A strong track record advising and influencing senior executives, shaping strategic propositions, and converting executive dialogue into transformational programs.
• Credible fluency in how digital, data and AI are transforming pharma supply chains — intelligent planning, decision intelligence, digital twins, visibility solutions, automation and advanced analytics.
• Proven experience designing and mobilising complex transformations involving process, organisation, data and technology change.
• Strong facilitation, stakeholder management and executive communication capabilities.
• Based in or able to operate across Europe, supporting a global stakeholder network.

• Experience leading operating model and organisational transformation, including the workforce implications of digital and AI-enabled supply chains (capability building, role evolution, adoption).
• Ability to engage credibly on planning platforms, ERP ecosystems, cloud, data products and digital supply chain architectures, while remaining focused on outcomes.
• Depth in sustainable supply chain strategy, balancing service, resilience, cost and environmental goals.
• An established network across European pharma and biopharma supply chain leadership.

Significant pharmaceutical/biopharmaceutical supply chain experience at a level consistent with an Associate Director appointment.
