What are you going to do?

You will provide advice on all of Amsterdam UMC’s core activities (healthcare, education and training, research, and commercialization) and work on various topics such as data and digitalization, strategy development, networking, and regional collaboration. You will support and lead organization-wide projects and advise the board of directors and division management.

• You have a keen sense of what is happening within the organization, understand the administrative context, and are aware of the various interests and relationships.
• You communicate your ideas clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing. You listen attentively, ask questions, and ensure that information is shared effectively with colleagues and other stakeholders both within and outside Amsterdam UMC.
• You are familiar with stakeholder management and relationship management, and you are someone who achieves goals through connection and collaboration.
• Ideally, you have experience with data analysis and can perform qualitative and quantitative analyses in collaboration with colleagues from various fields, such as finance, IT, and EPIC. You know how to use data to provide clear recommendations to the board of directors.
