• Identify and mitigate risks while ensuring strategic alignment.
• Communicate progress through structured reporting and clear, technical presentations to stakeholders.

• Master’s or bachelor’s degree in chemistry, biotechnology, engineering, or similar.
• 5+ years of experience in R&D, product development, or innovation.
• 2–5 years of project management experience with a proven track record in technical project execution.

• Familiarity with lab-scale research tools, experimental design, and data analysis.
• Data-driven mindset and experience with scientific/statistical data.
• Strong technical communication skills for reporting and stakeholder engagement.
• Fluent in English; Danish is an advantage.

• A dynamic, purpose-driven company at the forefront of green innovation.
• A flat, collaborative, trust-based organizational culture.
