Managing Director
Over the last 20 years, Eurofins has been the best performing share in Europe. As a result of its ambitious buy-and-build strategy, there is an opportunity for a new Managing Director for two of Eurofins’ Dutch entities (total of 70 FTE): a recent acquisition in Rotterdam and an existing business in Amsterdam.
Leading Innovation
We live in an age of rapid disruption. Today’s best-in-class is tomorrow’s out-of-date. This is why Eurofins continuously focuses on innovation. Both in terms of science and business.
Each of the Eurofins’ laboratories operates as a dynamic, market-driven business in its own right, managed by its own independent entrepreneurial leader, constantly striving for improvement. The people are empowered, not micro-managed. They’re not afraid to take risks or do things differently. Because world-class results don’t happen by accident. They require focus, top of the range resources and a concentration of brilliant minds who are highly motivated to push the boundaries and deliver the very best outcomes.
Requirements*
Research shows that while male candidates feel confident enough to apply when they meet about 60% of the requirements, female candidates only apply when they tick every box. So if this role has your name on it, but you’re not sure about the criteria, we still want to hear from you.
At Eurofins, it is never business as usual. This atypical approach requires atypical people. Entrepreneurs with a passion for life sciences, a knack for collaboration and a strong business instinct.
