- Lead, align, and motivate cross-functional teams through a complex change and integration journey
- Establish clear governance, KPIs, and reporting structure

- Strong stakeholder management capabilities at C-level, board, and investor level
- Ability to drive complex transformation programs in a structured, pragmatic, and outcome-oriented manner
- Hands-on mindset paired with strategic clarity
- High travel intensity: approx. 4–5 days per week onsite across the Rhine-Ruhr area, Munich, and Hamburg
