Work in the background
In order for the teams of a company like Galenica to deliver perfect work on the front line, a whole host of back-office roles are needed to ensure smooth processes and bring everything together. These are Galenica’s service areas.
Corporate Services – keeping the store running
You work at the very heart of the Group, where decisions are reached and framework conditions are defined. The employees of Corporate Services are internal service providers that enable the entire Group to function. As a back-office employee, you are part of a team that everyone at Galenica relies on.
“What motivates me the most is driving forward issues that create real added value for our customers and patients.”
Manuel has been part of Galenica since 2020. After starting out as an intern, he is now a Value Stream Manager working in digital product development for end customers, patients and pharmacies. “My job is to coordinate key issues and make sure that together with our teams, we create the greatest possible added value for our customers.”
“In my role, I have the pleasure of working with a great team of people to drive forward strategic issues and changes that ultimately have an impact on Galenica. It’s a fantastic job.”
Manuel’s story in the Galenica network began with an internship at Coop Vitality while he was completing his business administration studies. “I was able to join the new Value Stream team immediately after my internship – a real stroke of luck.” Step by step, he was able to develop further and grow into his current role as a Value Stream Manager.
Products & Marketing
The aim of this Service Unit is to spread the enthusiasm we have for our products to others. For example, this is the unit where the product range is continuously developed and effectively marketed in line with the format and channel. In addition, customer approaches and loyalty programmes are developed here with the aim of connecting points of contact with customers along the customer journey.
Corporate Communications
This team gives Galenica a voice and a face. It is tasked with informing the target groups and, in particular, promoting and cultivating dialogue with them – both internally and externally. For example, on our website, on the intranet, or in our Annual report and with the magazine for our employees. The corporate identity and the uniform visual appearance support the Group sense of identity.
Legal & Board Services
Everything Galenica does not only has to comply with all laws, it must also meet high ethical principles and prevent legal risks. Almost all the areas of law that affect Galenica, such as business and contract law, are handled by this unite. However, topics such as data protection and life science are also a high priority.
Human Resources
This is where the most important value of our company is sourced and nurtured: the people who work at Galenica. The Human Resources Service Unit takes care of everything that concerns our employees. This includes, for example, training and development programmes, presence on the job market or recruitment via traditional channels or social media platforms, but also, of course, all topics relating to the maintenance of employee and salary data.
Finance
Our products and services create value for our customers. The Finance team ensures that this is the case both for Galenica and its shareholders, which requires us to work with diligence and commitment. In addition to bookkeeping and accounting, topics include external and internal audits, taxes and value added tax, insurance, risk management, but also the procurement of goods and services as well as the acquisition and integration of new companies.
“My internal transfer was a great opportunity to develop myself further.”
Michelle started her career at Galenica in 2022 as an Employer Branding Specialist. However, she has always been interested in finance and had a real flair for numbers. And so, two years later when Michelle had the opportunity to move to the Finance Department, she grasped it with both hands. Today, she works in accounts receivable. Inspired by the variety of tasks and host of new challenges, she says eagerly: “I’m looking forward to growing in the Finance Department and further expanding my knowledge.”
“The opportunity to change department within Galenica was great for my further development.”
Michelle particularly appreciates the corporate culture that enabled her to take this step: “The openness to internal transfers and support with further development are major advantages for me.” Michelle also appreciates the flexibility and trust placed in employees. In keeping with the motto “Be brave”, employees have the opportunity to drive forward topics and actively contribute.
