EOS is one of Europe’s leading technology-driven specialists in receivables management, with more than 6,000 employees in over 20 countries. Maintaining this position and unlocking further growth requires constant transformation, early adoption of new technologies and a clear view of where the next opportunities lie.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will shape the Group’s growth agenda, steer key projects across our local entities, drive the AI transformation, and further develop our ESG standards. This is a senior leadership role where strategy does not end with a recommendation – you set the direction and make sure it gets delivered.

This is the job:

  • Set the strategy & growth agenda: Shape the Group’s growth agenda together with the EOS Board, define market priorities based on sound market intelligence, develop new business opportunities, and drive new country setups
  • Drive Mergers & acquisitions: Lead the evaluation of M&A and strategic partnerships, assess their strategic and financial fit, and ensure major investment decisions are based on thorough due diligence
  • Lead business transformation projects: Partner with Managing Directors of our local entities to set the direction for high-impact projects, oversee their delivery, and make sure strategic priorities translate into tangible results.
  • Shape AI transformation: Coordinate the Group-wide AI transformation agenda, set priorities, and ensure high-value use cases are scaled across EOS
  • Lead the ESG agenda: Lead the ESG team and ensure EOS maintains high environmental, social and governance standards
  • Advise the CEO: Serve as a senior strategic partner to the CEO, turn complex strategic and organizational questions into clear recommendations, and ensure decisions are followed through
  • Lead and develop the department: Set clear direction and accountabilities for a team of strategy, M&A, AI and ESG professionals and build a culture of ownership and innovation

This is what you bring to the table:

  • Strategy consulting track record: 8+ years of relevant experience, either at a leading strategy consultancy combined with hands-on experience in a corporate role (e.g. in strategy, transformation or business development), or in an in-house corporate development or strategy role. A focus on financial services is a plus.
  • Focus on Delivery: A proven track record steering transformation programs across functions and countries, with the discipline to deliver results, not just recommendations
  • AI expertise: A proven track record of applying AI to reshape business models and operations and ideas insight into business value
  • M&A experience: Experience assessing or executing acquisitions, market entries, or new business models, backed by strong financial judgment
  • Leadership experience: A track record of leading and developing high-performing teams
  • Willingness to travel: Readiness to travel regularly across EOS markets and engage closely with local management teams
  • Languages: Fluent in English and German
