Operations Professional

Procurement & Events Zurich, Switzerland

Are you passionate about contract management and compliance? Are you eager to make a difference behind the scenes of impactful healthcare events and work in a cross‑functional environment?

If so, we invite you to join our Procurement & Events team in Switzerland as our new Contract & Operations Professional.

Don’t wait and apply today!

As Contract & Operations Professional, you will own the end‑to‑end contracting process for sponsored events and engagements with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and organisations (HCOs) in Switzerland. This is a hands‑on operational role that is business‑critical and offers strong exposure across functions. You will work closely with Legal & Compliance, Procurement and Finance to ensure compliance and delivery on time. Your internal stakeholders will include Sales, Medical, and other affiliate teams involved in planning events.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Writing and adapting contracts in collaboration with stakeholders, ensuring alignment with legal guidance and compliance requirements.
• Supporting event‑related engagements and sponsorship agreements, ensuring compliance with the Therapeutic Products Act and Pharma Code.
• Ensuring compliance with regulations, laws, policies, and internal guidelines, and providing support for audits and spot checks.
• Acting as a super user of IT applications and systems, driving updates and further development of contract management systems.
• Managing contract creation, payment settlements, and archiving while monitoring financial and contracting oversight.
• Maintaining accurate and up‑to‑date master data for HCPs and HCOs to ensure efficient engagement processes.

You will be part of a newly established Procurement & Events team made up of two event professionals (one of whom will be you) alongside a procurement manager and a student assistant.

To thrive in this role, you bring a structured, detail‑oriented and solution‑focused mindset, combined with strong communication skills and stakeholder management.

You’ll bring with you:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Law or related field, or equivalent commercial/legal apprenticeship with relevant experience.
• Minimum 3‑5 years of experience working with contracts, compliance, events or procurement, with strong stakeholder collaboration skills.
• Excellent command of German and English; while French language skills at a conversational level, to collaborate with sales colleagues in the French‑speaking part of Switzerland would be a big plus.
• Solid experience working within the Swiss market within pharmaceutical or other regulated industries is advantageous.
• High IT affinity and confidence working with digital tools and systems, ideally with experience improving or implementing workflows.
