Executive Search Mandate Hamburg: Managing Director sought

Kontrast Personalberatung Berlin/Hamburg is supporting another executive search mandate in care management in northern Germany. We are looking for a managing director (m/f/d) for a non-profit organization - as part of a confidential candidate search. The assignment is deliberately concealed because the position is to be realigned during ongoing operations and strengthened with additional management expertise.

Care needs leadership that organizes quality of life

At the heart of this mandate is a clear leitmotif: resident orientation and quality of life. Good care is not just about professionalism and security of supply, but also about everyday life, self-determination, respectful communication and an environment in which people feel safe and seen. To ensure that this aspiration remains more than just a "mission statement", management is needed to create structures: stable processes, good duty planning, effective team leadership, resilient quality management and reliable interaction between all functional areas.

New management skills as reinforcement - not "routine administration"

The provider is expressly looking for a manager with the ability to manage: clarify processes, bundle responsibilities, professionalize interfaces, develop managers and at the same time keep a firm grip on the business side. In nursing care in particular, good results are rarely achieved through individual measures - but through consistent implementation on a day-to-day basis: staff deployment, quality indicators, occupancy/utilization, communication with relatives as well as resilient relationships with cost bearers, auditing bodies and network partners.

Role with overall responsibility and many interfaces

The managing director of the facility bears overall responsibility for operations, staff, quality and profitability. It reports to the responsible body or committees and, as the central interface, manages the cooperation with the nursing service management as well as department and team management, administration/controlling, HR and technology/facility (depending on the structure) - as well as with cost bearers, auditing bodies and regional cooperation partners as well as with relatives, residents' representatives and external service providers.

Covert search: discretion is part of the mandate

A special framework applies to this appointment: The search is confidential and the circle of those informed is deliberately small. This is exactly what executive search is made for - discreet direct approach, structured pre-selection, clear suitability diagnostics and a clean process that protects candidates. Kontrast ensures GDPR-compliant processing and communication that respects the professional situation of the candidates.
