From the food you eat, to the water you drink, to the medicines you rely on, Eurofins works with the biggest companies in the world to ensure the products they supply are safe, their ingredients are authentic and labelling is accurate. Eurofins believes it is a global leader in food, environmental, pharmaceutical and cosmetics products testing and in agroscience CRO services. It is also one of the global independent market leaders in certain testing and laboratory services for genomics, discovery pharmacology, forensics, CDMO, advanced material sciences and in the support of clinical studies.

In over just 30 years, Eurofins has grown from one laboratory in Nantes, France to over 47,000 staff across a network of more than 900 independent companies in over 50 countries and operating more than 800 laboratories. Eurofins offers a portfolio of over 200,000 analytical methods to evaluate the safety, identity, composition, authenticity, origin, traceability and purity of biological substances and products, as well as providing innovative clinical diagnostic testing services, as one of the leading global emerging players in specialised clinical diagnostics testing.

Eurofins Scientific grows aggressively through acquisition, adding dozens of companies to its network annually across life sciences, food & feed, environmental, and diagnostics testing. The VP of Integrations will own the post-close integration lifecycle for acquired companies ensuring newly acquired businesses are integrated efficiently into Eurofins' operating model while preserving the entrepreneurial performance culture that makes those businesses valuable in the first place.

This is a high-visibility, high-growth role. The successful candidate will develop deep fluency across Eurofins' network of business lines, systems, and leadership, positioned to progress into a President or SVP General Manager role within a defined timeframe.
