Business Manager and Executive Secretary - International Focus

Two dynamic new positions with the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation (IHTSDO) offer the opportunity to play a part in the enrichment of health care on a global scale. From its headquarters in Copenhagen, IHTSDO develops and manages a standardized health terminology, a key to ensuring the accurate and secure exchange of clinical information.

 

As the Business Manager, you will have a central role in strengthening the further development of IHTSDO.  Working closely with the CEO, other staff, Management Board, and global partners, you will formulate and implement robust business and financial processes and systems for the organization, develop and manage budgets and planning frameworks, coordinate contracts, and ensure the effective operation of IHTSDO’s Copenhagen office.

 

As the Executive Secretary you will use a high level of initiative and judgment in a varied and dynamic role.  Reporting to the CEO, you will provide advanced administrative support, such as coordinating meetings, making travel arrangements, taking minutes, and screening correspondence for urgent issues on behalf of the CEO and Management Board Chair.  You will also prepare meeting packages for IHTSDO’s Management Board, gather relevant documentation to support management decisions, and maintain a filing system for the organization.

 

Ideal candidates for both positions will have relevant professional experience and education, excellent communications and interpersonal skills, and superior organizational skills.  IHTSDO staff must be keen to work in an international environment and have excellent written and spoken English (IHTSDO’s working language).  Knowledge of Danish and other languages used in IHTSDO member countries would be an asset.  If you are interested in joining IHTSDO’s growing team, please send a cover letter and CV to info(at)ihtsdo.org.
