Global Supply Chain Manager

52% of the world can’t access essential healthcare: we’re a business that does something about it. Join us.

We focus on access to health products and services in emerging markets through a three-part model; focusing on collecting insights on community’s health needs, running targeted health campaigns (education, screening, etc) and managing the distribution of a range of essential medicines and health products.

Why work with us? We are challenging established business norms, with a new value proposition to build a socially-minded business model for half the planet. You get to be creative, move fast, own truly important things, grow, learn, and help people. We’re not a charity, we are redesigning how affordable healthcare is delivered through truly innovative business and service delivery models.

We already work with over half of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies and have footholds in markets across Southeast Asia, India and Africa. We will be expanding rapidly over the next year and entering a number of new regions and markets.

Job Title: Global Supply Chain Manager

Department: Global Operations

Start date: Q1 2026

Reports to: Head of Operations, Global

Location: Mumbai

Arrangement: Full-time, on site

Role Purpose

reach52 is seeking a Global Supply Chain Manager that will support reach52’s mission to build access to healthcare for 52% of the world, who currently cannot access it.  You will be responsible for leading and scaling our end-to-end global supply chain — ensuring that essential medicines and health products move efficiently from our Indian manufacturing partners to markets across Africa and Southeast Asia.

You will be responsible for international sourcing, production coordination, logistics, warehousing, and ERP management, ensuring our supply network delivers high-quality, affordable healthcare products reliably and at scale.

This role requires both strategic oversight and operational precision — someone equally comfortable negotiating with suppliers, working through customs documentation, and optimising systems for transparency and control.

Core role scope and responsibilities of the role will be:

• Oversee the global supply chain from production to delivery, ensuring on-time, cost-effective, and compliant distribution.
• Manage supplier relationships, price and volume negotiations, and contract terms with manufacturers and logistics partners.
• Supervise international warehouse operations, including stock levels, audits, and performance metrics.
• Lead demand planning and forecasting, consolidating orders from regional teams and aligning with production schedules.
• Own and optimise the ERP system (Odoo or equivalent) for inventory, procurement, and reporting.
• Ensure regulatory coordination and documentation for multi-country shipments.
• Track key performance indicators (e.g. OTIF, inventory turnover) and report regularly to leadership.

Who you are (probably)

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Life Sciences, or related field.
• Minimum 5 years experience in pharmaceutical or health product supply chains, ideally across India and Africa/Southeast Asia.
• Strong experience with Indian contract manufacturing and cross-border logistics.
• Proven ERP management skills (Odoo preferred).
• Excellent negotiation, coordination, and communication abilities.
• Detail-oriented, analytical, and able to thrive in a dynamic, mission-driven setting.
