Uniphar Background

Uniphar Group is a rapidly expanding diversified healthcare services business with a global footprint and a proud heritage in Ireland. Since Uniphar became a publicly listed company in 2019, the Group has grown organically and through a series of strategic acquisitions, which continue to strengthen Uniphar's international reach. With a workforce of more than 3,000 spread across Ireland, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Nordics, Benelux, Germany and the USA, Uniphar is a trusted global partner to pharma and medtech manufacturers, working to improve patient access to medicines and treatments around the world.

Uniphar provides outsourced and specialised services to its clients, leveraging the strong relationships with 200+ of the world's best known pharmaco-medical manufacturers across multiple geographies, enabled by our cutting-edge digital technology and our expert teams. Uniphar is organised into three key divisions; Supply Chain & Retail, Commercial & Clinical (Med Tech / Pharma) and Product Access.

Culture at Uniphar

We pride ourselves in being truly entrepreneurial, innovative, collaborative, with a strong problem-solving ethos. We have built working relationships which span decades with many of the world's largest pharma and medtech companies. We believe that this is because we know how to build a relationship of trust with our partners - we put our customers and their patients at the heart of what we do and treat them with integrity and respect. Everything Uniphar does is enabled by our people. As we continue to grow domestically and internationally, we become more diverse. This rich diversity fuels our business and enriches our culture.

How we'd like to work together

As this role is global, there is flexibility to be based in any one of Uniphar's offices or work to our Hybrid model. There will be the need for regular face to face interactions in Uniphar HQ in Citywest, Dublin and other locations, as needed. Given our business is spread across multiple time zones, there will be some flexibility required in order to interact with colleagues (i.e. it's not a '9 to 5' role). In return, you will be joining an environment that understands how intertwined work and life have become - and both the benefits and challenges that brings - and therefore offers a flexible, progressive way of supporting it through our Hybrid Working philosophy.

About Us

Our Work Experience is the combination of everything that's unique about us: our culture, our core values, our company meetings, our commitment to sustainability, our recognition programs, but most importantly, it's our people. Our employees are self-disciplined, hard working, curious, trustworthy, humble, and truthful. They make choices according to what is best for the team, they live for opportunities to collaborate and make a difference, and they make us the #1 Top Workplace in the area.
