Consultant Senior en Transformation Supply Chain - Transition 4PL

Our client, a major player in the healthcare sector, is seeking an expert to finalize the design of a strategic shipping plan integrated into the operations schedule. This assignment involves optimizing global logistics flows and structuring collaboration with external partners to ensure reliable deliveries.

• Define the logistics requirements for managing product availability dates within the schedule.
• Translate the planning segmentation into an optimized logistics segmentation based on flow variability.
• Design the 4PL transportation planning process and the associated feedback loops.
• Define and validate a standardized timeframe for converting transportation requests into orders.
• Drive change by ensuring alignment between the technical planning teams and strategic sponsors.

Must Have

• Minimum 5 years of experience in Supply Chain / Logistics, with concrete hands-on experience in transformation projects (not just run-the-business operations)
• Proven experience leading/transitioning to a 4PL model — understanding how to structure the relationship, signals, and framework between a client organization and an outsourced logistics orchestrator
• Sufficient knowledge of the Planning world (S&OP, planning horizons, goods availability date) to engage as an equal with Planning teams, without needing to be a hands-on expert
• Ability to design a framework/process from scratch (not just execute an existing one)
• Understanding of prebooking and feedback loops
• Ability to unblock unresolved governance decisions (RACI, ownership) between misaligned teams
• Strong change management skills and on-the-ground presence
• Able to engage both with highly technical interlocutors (planning, operational logistics) and with conceptual/strategic sponsors
• Fluent English is required

Nice to Have

• Pharma/vaccines industry experience (or a sector with strong quality/traceability requirements as an alternative)
• Experience in large-volume international transport, ideally sea freight
• French is a plus

• Geniet van een competitief salarispakket met extra voordelen die je talent erkennen.
• Versnel je carrière met een helder groeipad, coaching en mentoring ter ondersteuning.
• Werk in een dynamische en ondersteunende omgeving waar je echt het verschil kunt maken.
• Werk waar en wanneer je het beste presteert voor een ideale werk-privébalans.
• Kies een flexibele mobiliteitsoplossing, van een bedrijfswagen tot een openbaar vervoer abonnement.
• Bouw je netwerk uit en beleef onvergetelijke momenten tijdens exclusieve events en afterworks.
• Breid je vaardigheden uit met externe opleidingen en onze in-house Pauwels Academy.
• Werk aan uitdagende projecten met toonaangevende klanten in Life Sciences, Engineering & Digital.
