About the Company:
pharmaand GmbH (pharma&), a privately owned global company based in Vienna, Austria, aspires to breathe new life into proven medicines. The Company is dedicated to preserving the availability and fostering the further development of essential medicines worldwide to leave no patient behind. Over the past five years, pharma& has acquired and integrated 10+ medicines, expanding its portfolio across a wide range of therapy areas, with an increasing focus on hematology and oncology treatments.

Position Summary:
The role, reporting directly to the VP Transformation & Integration, plays a central role in shaping and executing group-level transformation and integration initiatives across pharma&.

It is instrumental in building and scaling a Transformation & Integration Office that drives high-impact transformation, post-acquisition integration (asset and share deals), and operating model initiatives. It combines strategic, conceptual work with hands-on execution and offers direct exposure to senior executives and founders in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment.

Why This Role:
This role is ideal for high-performing (ex-)consultants or transformation leaders who want to move from advising to owning and delivering change. It offers real responsibility, high visibility, and the opportunity to shape how pharma& scales, integrates acquisitions, and builds a world-class operating model at group level. Depending on experience, the role offers scope to take on increasing leadership responsibility as the Transformation & Integration Office evolves. The role is particularly well suited for individuals who seek to combine a start-up mindset and entrepreneurial drive with the stability, credibility, and proven track record of an established and successful organization.
