Senior Analyst Business Intelligence — PL Services Warehouse Operations

Our team members are at the heart of everything we do. At Cencora, we are united in our responsibility to create healthier futures, and every person here is essential to us being able to deliver on that purpose.

This role is in support of Cencora's third party logistics service in Europe operating through our Alloga business. Our 3PL division provides specialised logistics services to pharmaceutical and healthcare clients, managing complex supply chains that demand the highest levels of compliance, precision, and innovation. We are accelerating our digital transformation agenda, embedding AI, automation, and data‑driven decision‑making across every facet of our 3PL operations.

This role is available on a hybrid basis from either our London or Woking office location.

We are looking for a dynamic, forward‑thinking Senior Analyst to join our 3PL business and act as a catalyst for change.

You will identify opportunities to leverage artificial intelligence, robotic process automation (RPA), predictive analytics, and other digital accelerants to transform how we deliver 3PL services to our clients.

You will translate complex business needs into actionable solutions, support delivery of the business case, and drive measurable outcomes across the operation.
