About the role (What youll be doing)
Eucalyptus is looking for an experienced General Manager to play a pivotal role in building our business in Germany.

In exchange we expect the German GM will take full accountability for its performance and will always strive to drive velocity and high performance
- Probabilistic decision making : youre able to think probabilistically and assess the nature and magnitude of the risks of your decisions. You can make these assessments with appropriate speed (rapidly or considered, depending on magnitude and reversibility) and communicate them to your ELT with appropriate hypotheses, what you need to believe and mitigants. You lead with hypotheses, make decisions based on data and always seek disconfirming evidence
- Natural leader: you understand what is required to lead a team of high performers and you enjoy the process of helping your team grow into the best versions of themselves. Like all great leaders, you are the first to take responsibility and the last to take credit.
- Relentlessly ambitious : You get excited by setting audacious goals, rallying the team to chase after them, celebrating the win, and doing it all over again. You understand that healthcare could be so much better and more accessible for millions of people worldwide, and are excited to relentlessly change the world.

You will be responsible for setting your leaders up for success; ensuring they have the clarity, resources and sense of meaning and excitement required to execute at their highest level
- Talent : you will be the final decision maker for most hiring and performance decisions within Germany, and are expected to raise the bar as the organisation matures
- Senior strategic decision making : you will be responsible for ensuring that the ELT of Eucalyptus have the requisite information to make capital allocation decisions for Germany in the context of the broader Eucalyptus portfolio
- Patient experience : Responsible for the quality and safety of all patient interactions to ensure Juniper delivers on our promise to make patient lives meaningfully better
- Clinical Operations excellence : Responsible for ensuring our patients are able to access prescriptions in a safe, and reliable manner. We run thousands of safety audits monthly, and are constantly providing feedback to our team, and adapting our clinical protocols to enhance patient safety
