Context
Nuclear medicine has evolved considerably over recent years with the emergence of radiotheranostics, a modality which combines targeted diagnosis and therapy with radio-isotopes. It offers an important and promising alternative in the treatment of many cancers. Radiotheranostics is based on the use of radioisotopes which, when they decay, emit radiation that enables cancer cells to be precisely located and/or destroyed. Among these radioisotopes, the alpha-emitting Actinium-225 is one of the most promising for therapeutic purposes.
One of the main challenges to making this therapeutic solution accessible for the greatest number of patients is ensuring the availability of high-quality Actinium-225 in large quantities. It is often referred to within the community as “the rarest drug on Earth”. By joining their unique expertise and resources, SCK CEN and IBA have launched the company PanTera, which aims at enabling the production of large-scale quantities of Actinium-225.
In this context, PanTera is looking for a talented and experienced Logistics and Warehouse Specialist to take ownership of warehouse operations, inventory management, and logistics processes. This role requires a mix of strategic process development and hands-on operational execution. As a small organization, we are looking for a flexible and proactive professional who can design and implement logistics workflows while also performing key warehouse tasks such as goods reception, picking, and dispatching.
