Head of PMO & Business Transformation | Full-time

About the Organisation

Our client is a fast-growing, highly innovative medtech scale-up transforming medication management across Europe. With operations in the Benelux, UK and Scandinavia, the organisation combines technology, healthcare and data to improve patient safety and quality of life. Operating within an international matrix structure, the company is entering its next phase of professionalisation and rapid growth, as a dynamic organisation contributing to improved patient outcomes in a fast-evolving healthcare environment.

The company has scaled to approximately 500 employees across seven countries. The leadership team has been significantly strengthened recently, and the ambition is clear. What is missing is one person to bring structure, prioritisation and governance to a project landscape that has outgrown its current setup.

The Role

There is no PMO today. There is no portfolio governance. There are a lot of parallel initiatives competing for the same resources, from international market expansion and M&A integration to operational transformation and systems rationalisation.

As Head of PMO & Business Transformation, you will build the PMO from scratch. You will design how projects are selected, structured, staffed and governed across the entire organisation. You will sit close to the executive team and act as the bridge between strategy and execution.

Key Responsibilities

• Establish Governance: Design portfolio dashboards, steerco structures, and decision-making frameworks from a blank page.

• Drive Prioritisation: Own enterprise-wide sequencing across seven countries, with the authority to recommend pausing initiatives that lack capacity or impact.

• M&A & Integration: Own the post-merger integration (PMI) playbook, coordinating systems, processes, and ways of working for acquisitions.

• Player-Coach Leadership: Personally lead 1–2 high-impact transformation programs while coaching and leading a team of 3+ project professionals.

• System Adoption: Ensure the genuine adoption of ERP (NetSuite) and CRM (Salesforce) trajectories, focusing on behavioral change rather than just technical go-lives.

Who you are

• Experience: 7–10+ years in PMO leadership, business transformation or consulting

• Proven Builder: You have built a governance function from scratch, not just optimised an existing one.

• International Reach: You have operated in complex, multi-stakeholder international environments across borders.

• Complexity Navigator: You are comfortable operating in fast-changing, ambiguous environments and building structure where little exists.

Beyond the CV

• Diplomatic Challenger: You push back on unrealistic expectations with tact and data, never being confrontational for its own sake.

• Pragmatic Over Perfect: You favor 80% solutions delivered fast over 100% solutions delivered late.

• Calm Under Pressure: You bring composure when priorities collide; you are the person the leadership team looks to during "creative chaos".

• Structured Yet Agile: You create order without turning the company into a bureaucracy.
