Role Purpose

The role provides regional-level project management & business controlling support to the Vice President General Manager APAC. It acts as an integration and coordination function between VP GMs, country organizations, and enabling and global functions, supporting the execution of strategic and operational initiatives across the Region in line with Care Delivery International (CDI) objectives. The position contributes to driving organic growth, operational efficiency, performance transparency, and execution discipline, while ensuring full alignment with Fresenius Medical Care governance, quality, and compliance standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Regional Coordination & VP GM Support

   Act as a regional coordination role, cooperating with approximately 10 countries to align activities between VP GMs, country organizations, and enabling and global functions at regional and global level. Support VP GMs in structuring, coordinating, and following up on regional initiatives and priorities, ensuring alignment with strategic and operational objectives. Provide support to VP GMs, including preparation, implementation, and follow-up of management meetings, ensuring efficiency, confidentiality, and effective execution. Support the creation of presentations, reports, and communication materials for VP GMs, contributing to clear, consistent, and decision-oriented management communication. Coordinate office-management-related activities, including meeting structures and document / SharePoint management.

2. Project Management & CDI Initiative Support

   Support the implementation of strategic and operational initiatives aimed at driving organic growth, improving operational efficiency, enhancing patient experience, and supporting the development of CDI countries in the Region. Establish and manage assigned regional projects, including planning, organization, initiation, execution, monitoring, communication, and closure. Support VP GMs in the execution of business-critical and cross-functional initiatives. Ensure initiatives are delivered on time, within budget, and with the expected outcomes, providing structured follow-up and transparency.

Support structured documentation, reporting, and follow-up to ensure transparency and reliability of regional initiatives.
