Jobbeschreibung

As a rapidly growing group of companies (sales 650 million euros, >120 locations, Private Equity-backed), we are the leading provider for plannable medical specialist care in fields such as orthopaedics, ophthalmology, aesthetics, and dermatology in Northern and Western Europe.

Our profitable and sustainable growth in this sensitive and highly competitive market environment is based on professional competence and experience, a pronounced patient and service orientation, high process stability, and economically secure leadership. At the same time, our ambitious growth strategy requires continuous development of skills, market access, and organizational structures, supported by targeted M&A transactions and portfolio streamlining. In this context, we are looking for a qualified and entrepreneurial leader (m/f/d) for our dynamically growing and strategically relevant market in Germany (sales 100 million euros) as Division Manager Ophthalmology.

In this challenging and newly created position, you will be responsible (P+L) for the strategic development and operational management of our ophthalmology activities in Germany (currently 4 clinics, turnover 35 million euros). You will oversee further growth in Germany (organic and M&A-driven), optimize our footprint through precise PMI initiatives, manage daily operations focusing on efficiency, quality of service, and customer satisfaction ('operational excellence'), and ensure the achievement of economic targets at both clinic and group levels. Collaborating closely with operational staff, medical specialists, doctors, and clinic directors, you will foster a performance-oriented culture, develop the organization and employees in line with our growth strategy and quality philosophy. You will report directly to the German CEO.

We seek candidates with several years of proven success in operational management, preferably in high-volume ambulatory healthcare or high-end service businesses with end-customer interaction, and experience managing P+L. You should have a track record of developing decentralized divisions organically and through M&A, establishing process stability, and achieving operational and financial targets. This role demands a strong execution mindset, high energy, and a hands-on leadership style. You thrive in dynamic environments, manage complexity with structure, and drive continuous improvement with attention to detail and systemic thinking. Your strong communication skills, pragmatic approach, and ability to inspire teams are essential to building a high-performance, results-driven culture.
