About the Role
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer.

As a DC Manager (Logistics Manager), you will lead end-to-end warehouse operations to ensure on-time, accurate, compliant fulfillment across Stock & Sale, Spare Parts, and Service Materials. You will drive operational stability and continuous improvement while embedding Quality, EHS, and GDP/GMP requirements into daily execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end DC operations including Receiving, Putaway, Picking, Packing, Shipping, and Inventory Control
• Ensure SLA adherence, cut-off compliance, and stable same-day/next-day shipment execution (including cold chain handling where applicable)
• Own inbound governance: receiving schedules, ASN control, GR/putaway accuracy, and coordination with transportation/3PL partners
• Own outbound execution: shipment prioritization, exception handling, and error reduction to improve OTD and order accuracy
• Drive high inventory accuracy through cycle counting, discrepancy management, reconciliation, bin governance, and root cause investigations (RCCM/CAPA)
• Ensure strong EHS, Quality, GDP/GMP, and corporate compliance across DC operations; maintain audit readiness and follow-up actions
• Lead and develop the workforce: shift planning, training/qualification management, performance coaching, and safety culture
• Monitor and report KPIs (e.g., OTD, order accuracy, inventory accuracy, productivity, labor/OT, cost metrics) and execute corrective actions
• Drive productivity improvement through PPI/Lean/Kaizen/5S and data-driven operational analysis
• Support continuous improvement and digitalization initiatives including WMS optimization, facility layout redesign, and process standardization
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders (Customer Service, QA, EHS, Commercial, Finance) and external partners (carriers, 3PLs)

Qualifications (Must Have)

• 8+ years of proven experience leading warehouse/DC operations (end-to-end) with strong execution discipline
• Hands-on capability in inventory control (cycle count, discrepancy reduction, bin/location governance)
• Working knowledge and practical application of EHS and Quality requirements in operations
• Strong ability to manage operational KPIs and drive improvements through structured problem-solving (RCCM/CAPA)
• 2+ years of leadership experience managing teams/shifts and building a performance & safety culture
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills (internal + 3PL/Carriers)

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience in regulated environments such as GDP/GMP, cold chain, hazardous goods handling
• Experience driving continuous improvement using Lean/Kaizen/PPI with measurable outcomes
• WMS user-level expertise and experience in WMS optimization, slotting, layout redesign
• Experience with multi-site operations or matrix stakeholder environment

Success Measures (What Good Looks Like)

• Stable daily execution with improved OTD, cut-off compliance, order accuracy
• Sustained improvement in inventory accuracy and reduced discrepancies/audit findings
• Measurable productivity gains and cost control (reduced OT, rework, emergency shipment costs)
• Embedded compliance culture: proactive risk management for Quality/EHS and audit readiness
