Come and join a family-owned global company with a long-term vision, and a human-centered culture.

Iberia & Adriatic consist of two commercial clusters, with respective headoffices in Madrid (ES) and Firenze (IT). Each cluster managed by 2 commercial leaders: 1 for Clinic and 1 for Industry. The combined turnover is ~200M€/year.

This position will be based in Firenze (IT) (preferred) or Madrid (ES), and reports to the EMEA Supply Chain Vice President.

As the Iberia & Adriatic Supply Chain Manager you are accountable for the performance of the supply chain, as business partner member of the Leadership Team of each Cluster. You are also responsible for the management of the Iberia Supply Chain organization across Lisbon (PT) & Madrid (ES), and the Adriatic Supply Chain Organization across Firenze (IT) & Athens (GR) (20p in total).

While both organizations operate with a high degree of autonomy, this role is key in promoting the sharing of best practices and aligning ways of working across the two clusters.

Important: This is a grounded, country-based, operational position, where home office is difficult more than once per week. The Supply Chain Manager is expected to work on the field, with and amongst her/his team members, in the countries. As a consequence, there is an important dimension of travel as part of the role. Travelling every second week to the country in which the Supply Chain Manager will not be located is mandatory. This means the capability to travelling 50% (possibly more during on-boarding phase) is a must.
