The Head of Tax – Diagnostics is a newly created leadership role supporting the planned separation of Diagnostics into a standalone, approximately $4billion multinational enterprise. The role will build and lead the tax function as the business transitions from Siemens Healthineers’ integrated operating model toward independent ownership and operations. This is a unique opportunity to shape a tax organization from the ground up while supporting a significant Siemens Healthineers transformation.

The successful candidate will bring strategic judgment, technical depth, and operational discipline to define the tax agenda, establish governance, and embed tax as a trusted business partner through separation and beyond. Success requires confidence in ambiguity, strong execution, and scalable processes, controls, and technology‑enabled ways of working.
