About this opportunity

Working in a highly collaborative environment, you will engage colleagues across Strategy, R&D, Sales, Marketing, Operations, and external partners to explore and develop new opportunities for our business.

In this role, your primary responsibility will be to independently lead innovation projects from opportunity identification through concept development, evaluation, and recommendation. Many initiatives begin with limited information and no predefined answer, requiring the ability to create structure, build alignment, and drive progress.

If you are motivated by solving difficult challenges and exploring opportunities that can shape the future of Life Science, this role offers a unique opportunity to do meaningful work with real impact. We aspire to create an environment where talented and driven individuals can do the best work of their careers while helping improve outcomes for customers and patients around the world.

• Lead innovation concept development and evaluation projects.
• Drive cross-functional teams to explore future opportunities and unmet customer needs.
• Engage customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to generate insights and recommendations.
• Develop decision-support material and communicate project findings to key stakeholders.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of how innovation projects are executed.

This position is based at one of Getinge's offices in Sweden and includes approximately 20% international travel annually.

• Experience influencing and driving outcomes across functions without formal authority.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience using AI tools, AI agents, and low-code/no-code platforms is highly valued.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.

In addition to your technical skills, we highly value your personality. You are self-driven, accountable, and comfortable taking ownership. You enjoy solving complex problems, challenging assumptions, and turning ideas into action. You combine analytical thinking with a practical mindset and can work both independently and as part of a cross-functional team.

We welcome candidates from Life Science, MedTech, consulting, industry, technology, startups, and other innovation-driven environments. We believe diverse experiences and perspectives strengthen innovation.

At Getinge, we see ourselves as proactive and self-driven in learning and contributing to the continued development of our products and organizational capabilities. We are Team Players, Forward Thinkers, and Game Changers.
