    .
  • Excellent facilitation, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Fluent German
    and good English proficiency.
  • Willingness to travel up to
    50%
    for project execution.

Why Join?

  • Be part of a
    mission-driven organization
    that directly impacts patient health and quality of life.
  • Work in a
    regulated manufacturing environment
    where your expertise in Lean will drive tangible improvements.
  • Enjoy a
    collaborative culture
    , competitive benefits, and the chance to lead meaningful projects with measurable outcomes.
