Previous experience in hospital or healthcare logistics is essential

Languages: Fluent, negotiation-level German required

• 2-5 years experience

About the Role

Our client implements software solutions for hospitals, covering materials management, central stores, ward supply, pharmacy logistics, finance/accounting, and OR supply. We're hiring a Project Manager / Application Consultant to lead these implementation projects end-to-end.

Two candidate levels will be considered:

• Preferred: someone already independently leading implementation projects today, able to take full project ownership shortly after onboarding
• Also considered: someone brought into the role in tandem with an experienced project lead during onboarding

What You'll Do

• Lead hospital implementation projects independently, following an onboarding period, working in tandem with an experienced project lead
• Gather, structure, and document requirements with the hospital's functional departments
• Create and maintain the project concept as the basis for scope definition
• Steer projects through defined phases: preparation, realisation, demo/pilot operation, phased go-live, rollout, handover
• Coordinate stakeholders across the hospital: central stores, pharmacy, wards, finance, IT, and administration
• Work with Development on interfaces, extensions, and feasibility
• Organise and support testing and customer acceptance
• Support the hypercare phase through to handover to the Service team
• Ensure formal project closure, including full billing

What You'll Need

• Experience leading or taking significant ownership within implementation, ERP, or organisational projects
• Demonstrable ability to turn unstructured requirements into a workable, robust plan
• Strong drive to see projects through to completion and handover
• Technical understanding of software solutions and their configuration
• Basic SQL knowledge, or the ability to build this quickly
• Strong stakeholder communication across departments with differing priorities
• Independent, self-directed way of working
• High willingness to travel
• Fluent, negotiation-level German

Nice to have:

• ERP or logistics implementation experience, in any industry the strongest additional criterion
• Hospital-sector experience: materials management, central stores, procurement, pharmacy logistics, controlling, or clinical IT
• Familiarity with system interfaces
• Understanding of hospital financing and finance/accounting processes
• Experience with phased go-lives in operations running continuous shift coverage
• Understanding of IT security and data protection in sensitive systems
