About Again

Again makes carbon negative chemicals for a cleaner future. We are the first carbon negative chemical manufacturer that can scale to meet global demand. The best thing about it: we use carbon dioxide as a feedstock. We have raised over $90m to date from top venture capital investors as well as in grant funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme. We are a growing team of experienced scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from the DTU, Stanford, MIT (and more) who are passionate about revolutionizing the chemical industry. Join us in the fight against climate change.

What you'll do

We're seeking an experienced Head of Fermentation to lead our innovative bioprocess development. You'll lead all fermentation activities, managing scale-up from lab to commercial production, and overseeing technology transfer between teams and with external partners. This role combines cutting-edge experiment design, data interpretation, and cross-team collaboration and strategic communication with senior stakeholders. If you're passionate about sustainable chemical production and excel in both technical leadership, project management and communicating scientific results with a broad audience, join our team of experienced scientists and engineers in revolutionizing the chemical industry.

Responsibilities
  1. Lead all fermentation team activities (4 direct reports from FTEs), translating overall strategy into objectives and tasks.
  2. Manage process scale-up from lab to commercial, overseeing technology transfer and sustainable process development.
  3. Design and analyze experiments, interpret data, and present results to drive process understanding and optimization.
  4. Coordinate cross-team collaborations, including with external partners and suppliers.
  5. Develop standard operating procedures and contribute to patent filings.
About you:
  1. 5+ years of hands-on industrial fermentation experience.
  2. Relevant education (PhD or MSc) in Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Biology or a related field.
  3. Industrial expertise with scale-up of fermentation processes (from lab to full commercial scale bioreactors).
  4. Extensive experience in setting up and running fermentations at lab scale.
  5. Proven ability in interpreting scientific data and solid understanding of statistics.
  6. An effective communicator skilled in translating scientific data into actionable decisions and seamlessly engaging with both internal and external stakeholders.
  7. An open mind and a positive mindset to achieve results as a team.
  8. A sense of urgency and a get-sh*t-done attitude.
What we promise you?
  1. You get to work with a group of passionate scientists, working on challenging and meaningful projects.
  2. This will be the journey of a lifetime – we are serious about our mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and you can play a pivotal role in making that happen.
  3. We live by our company values: Relentless Grit, Unreasonably Ambitious, Unconventional Thinking, Critical Urgency.
  4. An inclusive, empowering and engaging work environment.
  5. We understand that relocating can be a hassle, so if you don't live in Denmark, we will help out to give you a smooth transition.
  6. Additional perks like pension, private health insurance, 30 days of PTO, and lots more
