** Job Details
**** About the Role
** World Courier, a Cencora company, is a global leader in specialty logistics — trusted by the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotech organisations to move what matters most. From investigational drugs to clinical trial materials, we handle every shipment with precision, care, and an unwavering commitment to the patients who depend on us.

We are looking for two Export Operations Representatives to join our depot team in Bachenbülach, Zürich — both on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is a hands-on operational role at the heart of our Zürich depot, where you'll be responsible for coordinating and executing the export of time-critical shipments across the globe. You'll work closely with airlines, internal operations teams, and customer services — ensuring every shipment departs on time, every time. Full training will be provided, including on our in-house systems, so whilst the environment is fast-paced and regulated, you won't be thrown in at the deep end.

If you have a background in logistics, freight forwarding, or regulated supply chain and you're looking to take your next step in a purpose-driven, international organisation — we'd love to hear from you.
