Finance Director

A competitive salary + good benefits package
OCTA Pharmacy Group accelerates the future of pharmaceutical care. Built on a mission that has taken shape since 2008 and has been fully in motion since 2023. As a strong player in the Dutch pharmaceutical infrastructure, they connect procurement, distribution, and pharmacies. Scale provides direction, while a decentralized approach creates room. In this way, they enable pharmacists and teams to excel in what truly matters: the best care for every patient. Driven by ambition, we invest in people — they make the difference, today and tomorrow.
The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic setting with high ambitions and ample room to build. The organisation comprises several operational entities and is growing rapidly, both organically and through acquisitions. As a result, complexity is increasing, as is the need for structure, predictability and reliable control.
The Finance Director reports to the CFOO and leads the entire finance team. The mandate is clear: to ensure a well-structured, efficient and high-quality financial operation that forms the foundation for continued growth. This role combines strategic leadership with hands-on operational involvement. It requires someone who can define long-term direction while also being willing to improve processes, support implementations and drive momentum.
