Do you enjoy operating at executive level, challenging senior stakeholders and driving tangible improvements in margin and profitability? At Mediq, we are looking for an experienced Finance Business Partner Sourcing & Category Management who will play a key role in strengthening our financial and commercial performance across Europe.

Your impact at Mediq

Mediq has grown significantly over the past years, both organically and through acquisitions.

• Significant experience partnering with senior leadership and preferably commercial, sourcing, procurement or category management functions.
• A strong track record of driving profitable growth, margin improvement and measurable business impact.
• Experience with strategy execution, commercial performance management, pricing and/or competitive analysis.
• Excellent analytical capabilities and strong experience with financial modelling, investment analysis and financial systems.
• The ability to move comfortably between strategic discussions and detailed financial analysis.
• Strong leadership capabilities and the confidence to influence stakeholders across different functions, countries and levels of seniority.
• A proactive and change-oriented mindset, with the ability to identify opportunities and turn them into concrete actions.
