Candidate Requirements
- Significant experience as a senior project or programme manager in complex, multi-country business transformation environments.

- Ability to operate independently across multiple concurrent workstreams without requiring day-to-day direction.
- Experience in structured project methodologies (e.g. PRINCE2, PMI, SAFe or equivalent) applied pragmatically in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments.
- Strong stakeholder management skills at VP and Director level across business and IT functions.
- Experience coordinating across multiple markets and time zones, with sensitivity to local operating contexts.
- Experience in pharma, healthcare, logistics or comparable regulated industries preferred.
- Fluent English required; additional European language(s) advantageous.
