Market Logistics Network Lead (Secondment - 18 Months)

WHY PATIENTS NEED YOU

This 18-month secondment offers a high-impact opportunity to lead a comprehensive Market Logistics Network study spanning all international markets.

The GSC Market Logistics Network Lead is a director-level leader accountable for analyzing and delivering an end-to-end review and optimization of Pfizer's in-market warehousing (LSPs and Pfizer in-house sites) and transportation activities across all Trading Legal Entity markets and Export markets with in-market consignment stocks, excluding the United States.

WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE

The role will establish a robust baseline for the Market Logistics network, project future volume and capability requirements through 2028-30, and identify actionable opportunities to enhance quality compliance, and optimize cost - service delivery - resilience tradeoffs. This role acts as PCT Lead, potentially supported by additional secondments.

Operating under the GSC Logistics GPO structure, the incumbent will partner directly with Regional VPs, Market Logistics Leaders, and cross-functional teams in Logistics Risk & Compliance, Quality, Procurement and Finance — while also collaborating closely with the Global Logistics Network & PMO team to shape the GSC NexGen Logistics Modelling & Optimization digital solution and capability.
