Job Description

Do you have the ability to see the big picture, stay ahead of the curve, and translate complex information into structured action? Do you thrive in an international cutting-edge environment where your work makes a real difference to the business's success? Then this could be your next challenge!

As Executive Assistant to the VP R&D Wound Care, you will become an invaluable strategic business partner. Your mission is to ensure smooth business flows, efficient decision-making, and the successful implementation of our global research and development strategy.

This is far from a traditional administrative role. You act as the hub of our global R&D organization. You work proactively to increase the efficiency of daily operations while keeping a watchful eye on long-term strategic goals. By understanding the business context and priorities, you can anticipate needs, connect the right people, and propose concrete actions.

Responsibilities

• Leadership Team Work & Governance: You prepare, structure, and drive the agenda for leadership team meetings. You ensure high-quality documentation, track decisions, and ensure that assigned projects move forward.
• Strategic Annual Planning: You are responsible for recurring annual cycles (strategy, budget, HR processes, and portfolio evaluations) in close collaboration with the VP, HR, and Finance Business Partners.
• International Coordination: You plan complex calendars, logistics, and executive-level international travel. Additionally, you project-manage larger meetings, conferences, and global "town halls" with the highest professionalism.
• Content & Communication: You compile presentations, create simplified analytical summaries in Excel, and act as an internal communication link that proactively identifies organizational risks or tensions.

Apply as soon as possible, as the selection process is ongoing!

Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you are a person with exceptional integrity, strong organizational finesse, and a pronounced "own the outcome" mindset. You navigate effortlessly among senior stakeholders and maintain calm and quality even when the pace is fast.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Experience: At least 5 years of experience providing qualified support to executive management in an international and dynamic environment.
• Languages: You are fully fluent in English, both spoken and written (our corporate language).
• Digital & AI Competence: You have very strong skills in Microsoft 365 (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, and preferably PowerBI). It is expected that you use modern AI tools (such as CoPilot) to optimize your own workflows.
• Attributes: You are analytical, solution-oriented, and a natural networker. You have the ability to see patterns in scattered information and transform them into concrete, structured activities.
