Leipzig, Sachsen, Deutschland Hartmann Young Vollzeit

General Manager - Life Sciences

Hartmann Young is partnered with an established diagnostics company, seeking an experienced General Manager to lead their Leipzig site. You'll take responsibility for overseeing day-to-day operations, including production lines, logistics, quality control (QC), regulatory affairs and HR / Admin functions.

This is an exciting opportunity to drive the next phase of growth and transformation, with a focus on modernising and digitalising operations to improve efficiency and effectiveness. As a hands-on leader, you will work closely with senior leadership to enhance back-office functions, instil operational excellence, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. Reporting directly to the senior leadership team, you will also have the opportunity to grow and shape the business as you build the next chapter for the site.

The role

  • Lead daily operations of the Leipzig site, overseeing production, logistics, quality control, regulatory compliance, and potentially HR/Admin.
  • Implement lean manufacturing principles to improve operational efficiency and drive performance.
  • Monitor and improve key performance indicators (KPIs), including time to production, scrap rates, inventory levels, working capital, and demand planning.
  • Champion digital transformation initiatives, including automating processes and exploring AI solutions for forecasting and production.
  • Inspire and motivate the team to achieve high standards in all areas of the business, while maintaining a strong focus on operational excellence.
  • Take a hands-on approach to the role, rolling up your sleeves to tackle challenges and drive improvements across the site.

The person

  • Proven experience in the biotech, diagnostics, or technology sectors, with a strong understanding of industry regulations and compliance.
  • A track record of leading and modernising operations, ideally gained in a larger organisation, but with the ambition to build and innovate in a smaller, more agile environment.
  • A respected leader who can motivate a diverse team and drive change within the business.
  • Expertise in managing production sites, implementing lean strategies, and improving operational efficiencies.
  • A deep understanding of production and supply chain challenges, particularly in regulated industries.
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused approach, with a willingness to get involved and lead from the front.
  • Fluency in German and English is required, with a good understanding of local culture and working practices.

If you're an experienced leader, passionate about driving operational excellence and transformation, we'd love to hear from you.
