Germany's largest Christian healthcare network operating 100+ hospitals and care facilities
AGAPLESION operates over 100 healthcare facilities across hospitals, nursing homes, and residential care—making it Germany's largest Christian-affiliated health system. The organization is mid-way through a digital transformation: actively adopting SAP S/4HANA and SAP BTP while running legacy PACS, HL7, DICOM, and Cognos infrastructure. Hiring velocity is steady with 230 roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward clinical staff (652 healthcare roles) rather than engineering (16), indicating a clinically-led operation still early in its tech modernization journey.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Physician, Deputy Medical Director, Sterilisation Lead, Payroll Team Lead, Chief Physician Secretary
