Head of Health - Germany

Ready to start the next chapter in your career journey? You’re in the right place. We’re always happy to hear from people who are eager to learn and grow, and share our values. Welcome home.

Futurice Germany is looking for a new addition to its growing team of change-makers. As a Head of Health, you will play a leading role in supporting organizations from the health industry to extend their offering in the digital field: from strategy to product development and organizational transformation. As part of a cross-functional team of change-makers you will consult our clients and drive this transformation.

For the key stakeholders at client organizations, you will be a trusted advisor, health expert and thought leader. Internally at Futurice you will support sales and new business development, and also develop our capabilities in the health domain by coaching multidisciplinary teams.

Our approach:

• Collaborative : To lead and co-create change effectively we understand the interplay between strategy, culture, technology and data. We’re all about connecting dots and breaking silos.
• Tech-enabled : Cutting-edge digital engineering is in our organizational DNA. And for us, “data-enabled” is not a buzzword but a real capability in everything we do.
• Hands-on : We don’t create vision presentations and then leave the client to figure out the implementation. We join them in driving and implementing the needed change.
• Agile : We develop self-organized, networked organizations and modern leadership. We are not married to any framework (e.g. SAFe or LeSS) – we adapt to every challenge.

Futurice works in self-organized teams that require team members to take ownership not just of content, but also process and operational excellence. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Domain development: Sharpen our capabilities, tools and brand in the health domain.
• Leading Projects : Scoping and managing programs, collaborations and projects in the health domain. Consulting our internal team to ensure innovation, quality of delivery and learnings for our cross-functional experts.
• Business development: Leveraging your connection in the health field, spotting and driving new opportunities with both current and prospective clients. Together with sales experts, creating proposals and offering in the health field.
• Thought leadership: Create points-of-view that help generate opportunities for new client work in the health field. In practice: speaking and writing publicly about your expertise.
• Client work: Solving client challenges and strategically consulting clients around innovation in the health domain. Acting as an expert, sparring partner, problem-solver and trusted advisor.
• Internal Team Growth : Motivate the internal team and people in Futurice to be excited about supporting the Healthcare industry.
