100%

Grown out of passion, connected as a family – the Swiss company Curaden AG, based in Kriens LU, is a global leader in preventive oral health. We do everything for a healthier and happier society. That is why we revolutionise individual oral care – also because we know that oral health strongly influences general health. With this knowledge and the appropriate education, we inspire professionals worldwide as well as all informed consumers. Curaden is active in more than 90 countries on six continents and combines innovative products, evidence-based education, and solutions that go far beyond dental care. Our philosophy is based on a simple conviction: True health begins with understanding, motivation, and the right products. We make prevention practical and personal.

As Chief Digital Officer, you actively shape the digital future of Curaden. You further develop our digital strategy, manage key digital and transformation initiatives, and ensure that digital solutions create real added value for customers, dental professionals, partners, employees, and our international markets.

What I like about Curaden is that I work in a family business with an international focus, where my ideas are heard and I can take on a lot of personal responsibility. Spoiler alert: After an iTOP course at the latest, you will score as an oral health hero with friends and family.» - Jennifer, Event and Education Manager iTOP
