The Person

AniCura requires a highly motivated and financially literate individual with drive and determination to be the business partner for the Italian market. AniCura places great emphasis on culture and attributes much of its success to the personalities it has hired and the approach they take to relationship building.

From this perspective, AniCura is seeking not only for an individual with the aptitude and technical skills to undertake this task but also a person able to operate with humility and have a desire to build, whilst also able to take responsibility for driving outcomes.

Owing to the diverse nature of clinics and teams, the Regional Business Controller will likely be respectful of people’s background and able to bring together a team. Solid, positive and action-oriented; this person will be a strategic thinker who is organized and able to prioritize tasks.
