Working at IPSEN

We possess an ideal size with a global footprint, and a long history of 90+ years making an impact on patients and society. This distinctiveness allows us to be fast, agile and flexible when it comes to change, and differentiates us from other large players. We provide a workplace where each employee can create a visible impact.

To deliver real impact, we focus on where we can create the most value, thereby generating the efficiencies needed to invest in bringing innovation to patients. We are not afraid of making tough decisions. Whatever we do, we always ask ourselves: does it move the needle?

All our teams are united and focused on a single purpose: to prolong patients’ lives, improve health outcomes and create a positive impact for patients and society. Working together toward this purpose motivates us all to go the extra mile with tenacity and persistence.

Our people are at the heart of what we do. We craft our culture of collaboration and excellence, and offer a unique professional growth environment where accountability matters. We support our people by providing an inclusive and dynamic environment and by creating opportunities to learn and grow while also having fun at work and giving back to the community.

Being in the healthcare industry has a specific meaning for Ipsen: We care about our people as much as our people care about patients. We offer a recognition program that acknowledges the real impact, as well as the opportunity to share in the success you help to create.

The well-being of our people is our priority. We offer flexible schemes that adapt to different circumstances and ensure a healthy work-life balance. We also provide great benefits to support health, well-being and social connection for our people. We are known for throwing a lunch or ten.

Our approach to rewards is simple and transparent. We reward what matters. What matters to you and what matters to our business. Our innovative and competitive total compensation packages are designed to recognise everyone’s contribution.

Our Hybrid & Flexible ways of working allow you to bring flexibility into your work life. Whether it is working from home or needing some flexibility in your working hours, if it works for us, we can make it work together.
