Description

Are you passionate about hands‑on IT support and ready to make a difference in a fast‑paced global environment?

The role

As our new IT Supporter you will play a vital role in delivering high‑quality end‑user IT support at our site in Heidelberg. You will provide 1st and 2nd line support, maintain local equipment and collaborate closely with both local and global IT teams to ensure smooth and efficient operations.

You will join a team of dedicated Service Desk colleagues based across Europe and the US and report directly to the Global Service Desk Lead.

At Ascendis Pharma we believe that people thrive when they feel supported, trusted and part of something. In Heidelberg you’ll join a team where collaboration isn’t just part of the job – it’s the way we work. Whether it’s solving problems together, sharing knowledge across borders or simply enjoying each other’s company, we value the relationships that make great teamwork possible.

The Heidelberg site is preparing to move into a brand‑new purpose‑built facility in 2026 located right next to the Heidelberg train station. Joining at this stage offers a unique opportunity to contribute from the beginning – supporting the transition, helping shape local IT workflows and becoming part of a forward‑looking setup from day one.
