Top of Minds for Mediq

The organisation

The healthcare sector is facing immense challenges. While, over the years, the quality of care has significantly improved, factors such as the aging population rapidly increase the scale and complexity of care. As a partner of patients and healthcare institutions – from hospitals and home care to GPs and pharmacies – Mediq is set out to transform the industry. The medical service company drives innovation to enhance the patient experience, improve health outcomes, and lower costs.

Mediq provides products, (online) services, knowledge, and logistical solutions that ease the pressure on healthcare professionals and empower patients with chronic illnesses and severe health issues to live fulfilling lives. The company’s assortment includes device-led hospital solutions, medical disposables and equipment, and home care products, e.g., for diabetes, wound and respiratory care, and ostomy.

“We enable healthcare professionals to do what they do best: delivering care to their patients. We make products simpler, ordering processes more effective, and supply chains more efficient. Contributing to health and well-being is at the heart of everything we do.” – Thomas Hinnerskov, Chief Executive Officer

Headquartered just outside Utrecht, Mediq employs approximately three thousand people and has a strong presence in thirteen countries divided into three clusters: The Benelux, the DACH region, and Scandinavia plus the Baltics. Supported by Advent International, a leading global PE investor, the company is entirely focused on delivering medical devices and solutions and developing new treatments and innovative e-health concepts. Through organic growth and targeted acquisitions, Mediq is expanding its scale across Europe, supporting even more healthcare institutions in their quest for improved outcomes and greater affordability of care.

The position

Mediq enables healthcare providers to improve people’s health through high-quality, patient-centric care. Its Director of Strategy & Transformation will lead strategic programs that allow Mediq to leverage its international scale. The exposure, broad scope, and potential next steps make this role a perfect landing spot for a seasoned Strategy Consultant.

Tasks & responsibilities

The Director of Strategy & Transformation will report to the Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) and drive Mediq’s transformation agenda with the Transformation Directors in the regions. They will lead high-value strategic programs that create long-term value and oversee the company’s entire transformation agenda with the CTO. The Director of Strategy & Transformation will be responsible for shaping the content and leading the process in a high-paced environment with constant attention from the Executive Committee and the private equity owners. They will focus on Mediq’s full scope, including all regions, clusters, and functions. 

“We are flexible in terms of work location. Most stakeholders – including myself – will be in Utrecht, but we’re open to other setups. The role will involve occasional travel, maybe once every couple of months, especially when they are working on a region or country-specific program.” – Henrik Helmer Hansen, CTO

The programs the Director of Strategy & Transformation will lead cut across the entire organization. Initially, they will most likely focus on commercial excellence, pricing, customer service, and post-merger integration. As long as a program is of high strategic priority, it could fall within the scope of the Director of Strategy & Transformation. Through these programs, they build an organization that optimally leverages its international scale and expertise to maximize its performance in the local markets. In addition to leading these transformation topics, the Director of Strategy & Transformation will coordinate the annual strategy process, support budgeting, and provide updates to the Supervisory Board.

The Director of Strategy & Transformation will collaborate intensively with the company’s entire senior leadership. They will facilitate discussions in the Executive Committee and work closely with the management teams of the countries, regions, and functions to design and implement programs. Each program will have an assigned sponsor in the Executive Committee with whom the Director of Strategy & Transformation will frequently interact to deliver the goals and milestones successfully. Additionally, they will, for some projects, coordinate and lead the efforts of external consultants.

This role is a perfect entry position for an experienced Strategy Consultant looking to build a career beyond consulting. The Director of Strategy & Transformation will get to know Mediq in all its breadth and depth, unlocking exciting next steps in commercial leadership positions, centrally and in the country organizations. All while contributing to solving one of the biggest challenges of our time: affordable and high-quality healthcare for everyone.
