Business Planning & Transformation Lead Germany at Verisure… · 40882…

Reporting to the Managing Director Germany

We used to call this role Chief-of-Staff. Today, we call it Business Planning & Transformation Lead—because this isn’t just about supporting leadership. It’s about becoming leadership!

Verisure Germany is looking for a high-potential strategy and transformation professional to work directly with the Managing Director and Management Team, shape the strategic agenda and take ownership of cross-functional priorities that will influence the country’s next stage of growth.

This is not a traditional strategy role. It combines rigorous problem-solving with hands-on execution. You will first build a broad understanding of the business and support its most important leadership discussions, then move quickly into leading one or two significant transformation initiatives from definition through implementation and measurable impact.

The role is designed to build the operating credibility, commercial judgement and leadership experience required to progress into a broader line or functional position within Verisure Germany after demonstrating impact.

What this role offers

• Direct partnership with the Managing Director and sustained exposure to the Germany Management Team
• Ownership of meaningful business problems, with accountability extending beyond recommendations into implementation and results
• A broad view across Sales, Marketing, Operations and Finance in an operationally intensive, growing B2C business
• High visibility across Germany, the Central European cluster and relevant Group stakeholders
• A credible bridge from consulting or strategy into operating leadership, with a clear expectation of progression after successful delivery

The role is based in Düsseldorf.

Verisure in Germany

Germany represents one of Verisure’s largest long-term growth opportunities. Since entering the market in 2018, the business has built strong operations and field sales execution, supported by ~400+ employees across multiple locations. However, the market remains significantly underpenetrated, with low consumer awareness of professionally monitored security compared to more mature markets.

Verisure Germany is now entering a critical phase of commercial acceleration and brand building - it has a clear focus on building category understanding and brand pull, clarifying and differentiating the value proposition vs. DIY and camera-only solutions, and unlocking significant growth potential in customer acquisition.

Germany is also one of Verisure’s key growth engines for the coming years, with a clear roadmap to significantly scale the business and more than triple its size by 2030, supported by ambitious targets across customer acquisition, portfolio expansion, and booking growth. The role operates with significant marketing investment across both performance and mass media channels, providing a unique opportunity to scale demand generation and shape brand development at pace in a high-potential market.

Verisure operates with a strong local ownership mindset, where country organisations are accountable for delivering business performance end-to-end, with responsibility across the full commercial and operational engine. Local leaders are empowered to shape and execute locally, while benefiting from Group expertise, shared capabilities, and a disciplined playbook with demonstrated success, significantly reducing execution risk.

This role offers a rare combination of entrepreneurial ownership and proven model execution. It combines the challenge of building and accelerating a market with the advantage of operating within a proven, scalable model already successfully deployed across multiple countries—creating a unique balance of ownership and support.

Responsibilities of the Business Planning & Transformation Lead

The Business Planning & Transformation Lead will act as a trusted strategic partner to the Managing Director Germany and the Management Team, while progressively assuming direct ownership of major cross-functional transformation priorities.

Business immersion

• Build a broad, fact-based understanding of the German business, its performance drivers, customers, commercial model and operating priorities.
• Bring analytical rigour and structure to strategic topics reaching the Managing Director and Management Team.

Transformation ownership and execution

• Take end-to-end ownership of one or two significant, cross-functional transformation initiatives after the initial onboarding period.
• Translate strategic questions into clear workplans, decisions, accountabilities and measurable outcomes.
• Mobilise stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Operations and Finance, managing dependencies and resolving barriers to delivery.
• Drive implementation with pace and discipline, remaining close enough to the detail to ensure that recommendations become operational results.
• Bring relevant external and Group practices into the German business, adapting them to local realities rather than applying them mechanically.

Leadership platform

• Build credibility across the organisation through judgement, delivery and constructive challenge.
• Develop the operating, commercial and people-leadership capabilities required for a broader role in the German business.
• After demonstrating sustained impact, prepare the transition into a larger line or functional role and support an effective handover of the BPTL mandate.

• Experience in both strategy consulting and in-house roles
• Experience working in multinational, multicultural settings
• Typically around 4 to 6 years of relevant experience, but we hire for impact, not tenure: the relevance, depth and trajectory of your track record matter more than the number of years.
• Demonstrated success in leading projects from analysis through to implementation and measurable results, and in delivering high-impact presentations to senior leadership
• Exposure to commercial, lead generation or sales projects in fast-paced B2C or B2B2C environments
• Ability to influence and mobilise stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Operations and Finance, up to Management Team level
