Turnaround Lead – Healthcare Operations

Location: Greater Frankfurt

Sector: Private Healthcare / Clinics

We are exclusively partnered with a fast-growing, PE-backed healthcare group that is transforming the private clinic sector through strategic M&A and ambitious organic expansion. As part of this high-growth journey, the company is seeking a dynamic Turnaround Specialist to lead the operational revival of two key clusters in West Germany.

These clusters represent untapped potential—awaiting a strong leader to unlock performance, drive efficiency, and build a sustainable, high-performing operation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assessing operational inefficiencies, leadership gaps, and process challenges across the assigned clusters.
• Taking full ownership of the turnaround process, setting a clear direction and execution roadmap for both units.
• Leading from the front—engaging directly with frontline teams, implementing change, and inspiring excellence.
• Redefining and implementing best practices to boost performance, patient care, and profitability.
• Coaching and developing local leadership teams, strengthening capability and accountability.
• Collaborating closely with senior leadership to align strategy and execution for lasting impact.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Demonstrated success in turnaround, restructuring, or transformation roles within healthcare or related industries.
• Background in hospital management, private clinics, healthcare operations consulting, or commercial healthcare leadership.
• Ability to deliver fast, measurable improvements while maintaining focus on long-term success.
• Strong leadership presence, with excellent stakeholder management and problem-solving skills.
• High-energy, hands-on mindset with a track record of execution under pressure.
