Global-Head-of-Organisational-Development

At Ambu, we are dedicated to advancing healthcare through innovative solutions. We are looking for a visionary Global Head of Organisational Development to lead our organisational initiatives to leverage a strong engagement and cultural identity, including leveraging leadership capabilities as a strategic enabler. This role is crucial in ensuring our culture evolve and our leaders are prepared to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you will own the full organisational development agenda. Our current focus is in particular on developing our leaders to continue driving growth at Ambu. Basing your decisions on existing and upcoming initiatives, you will be taking Ambu’s organisational development agenda to the next level by tying individual initiatives to the overarching vision.

Further, it will be your responsibility to ensure that existing and future initiatives underpinning the strategy are launched in a sustainable manner across the organisation, ensuring longevity in their impact.

This is an individual contributor role, so it is important that you feel comfortable, and enjoy, leading through the organisation rather a hierarchy. While you will form a strong part of the global People & Culture leadership team in driving the overarching P&C strategy forward, you also find satisfaction in executing on our strategy and following through on our vision. While you may have previous management experience, you will primarily lead through impact rather than teams in this role.
