As part of Halma, a global group of life‑saving technology companies, we are driven by a shared purpose of creating a safer, cleaner, and healthier future.

Manager, you will own the flow of material through the business — from vendor, to warehouse, to production — ensuring we have the right material, in the right place, at the right time. You will lead our warehouse and logistics team, partner with Engineering to qualify new suppliers, and build the processes and systems that make our supply chain more resilient.
