Meet Jiri Vaclavik, Head of Project Management Zentiva Czech Republic

“My academic background is in chemistry and economics. When I was ready for my first job, the Development center of Zentiva was looking for a project manager. I am very happy the company gave me the chance to do a job that covered exactly what I intended and liked doing – coordinating and leading, still close to R&D, and with a touch of business. And there was much more to learn on the way. After having started as a project manager, I have now been leading the PM department for two years. The job is rich, complex, and challenging. There is a lot of structure (by definition in this industry) but also great room for creativity and personal development. Moreover, for me, a job has to be meaningful and in this regard, I believe that developing innovative and affordable medicines for patients in Europe and beyond is totally rewarding. I am very proud to be part of this! And last but not least: what makes a difference at work is people - the team at Zentiva is just fantastic!"
WE PRODUCE
Zentiva has four manufacturing sites – Prague site, Bucharest site 1 and site 2 and Ankleshwar site. These sites manufacture more than 50% of Zentiva’s product supply, the balance coming from our network of 300 supply partners.
Our operations and engineering teams are a constant source of ideas of how to improve our sustainability footprint.

INTERNSHIP
Get to know Emer O’Mara Communication Intern at Zentiva

I began my Zentiva internship journey in August 2022. As an International Communications student, I was looking for a company that valued innovation and would provide me with the opportunity to grow.
Zentiva was my first choice! Throughout my communications internship experience, I was provided with an excellent support system that helped guide me through my part within the team. At the same time, I was given the freedom to take on "real" roles within projects, collaborating with skilled professionals across Zentiva's network of departments and countries. Our company offered me an excellent environment to develop my copywriting, content creation, and project management skills, working on both external and internal communication.
Within my internship, I always felt like a valued member of the communications team, my work felt appreciated, and I knew I was helping to contribute to Zentiva's mission. I know that the invaluable skills I learnt within Zentiva will help propel me within my professional career, and I am eternally grateful for my experience within such a #WinningTeam!
