LATAM Head of Distribution and Logistics - Flexible Location in Latin America

Working with one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical companies seeking a LatAm Head of Distribution and Logistics to oversee all of their distribution operations across Latin America. The position could have been based in Mexico City, Bogota or Sao Paulo depending on the candidate’s preference.

 The company has multi-billion dollar revenue across LatAm, market leading brands and was growing at a considerable rate. However, unusually for a company of this size, they had no regional structure for distribution and created this new position to centralize all operations and processes across the region. The position was responsible for evaluating what is in place country by country, and then creating and defining regional warehousing and distribution strategies, practices and processes. Due to the size of the operation, the scope of products and countries covered and the projected growth, it was a highly visible and challenging position, playing a key role in the global leadership team.

Strong leadership skills and a proven track record in logistics were required as this person would be responsible for driving change, improving processes and influencing key stakeholders both internally and with 3rd party distributors. The position called for strong analytical & evaluation skills to recognize where changes needed to be made and to drive these changes forward.
