What you bring

You bring 8-10 years of experience from corporate strategy development and execution. Most likely, you have worked in a leading consultancy company for several years, ideally combined with experience from an international industrial or technology-driven company. Experience from MedTech, health tech, or design-driven industries is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Furthermore, you bring:

• A significant financial foundation and good analytical, data-driven problem-solving skills
• A holistic and long-term strategic mindset
• A deep PMO and strategy toolbox, with solid experience running complex programs involving multiple stakeholders
• A hands-on, proactive approach and the ability to drive initiatives from idea to execution

You communicate with clarity and impact, and you thrive in an informal, curious, entrepreneurial, and collaborative culture. You navigate complex contexts with structure, clarity, and integrity, and you thrive in an environment where you connect strategy with practical execution – and you are motivated by working at the heart of corporate decision-making.

This is a unique opportunity to take on a central role in empowering top-level leadership, driving strategic clarity, and enabling focus of our most important priorities.
