København, Denmark Blackswansexist Full time

CO2 is a global problem, but by fermenting it into carbon-negative chemicals, we are transforming it into the solution. We harness carbon outputs from industrial emitters and convert them into valuable, emission-free green chemicals. For every tonne of products we make, over two tonnes of carbon are removed from the atmosphere. With over $50 million raised from top venture capital investors and grant funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program, we are well-positioned to revolutionize the chemical industry.

Work with a team of passionate scientists on challenging and meaningful projects, participating in a mission to reduce over 1 gigaton of CO₂ and playing a pivotal role in this significant journey. Benefit from relocation assistance if you don’t live in Denmark, along with additional perks like pension, private health insurance, 30 days of PTO, and more.

What You’ll Do

We’re seeking an experienced Head of R&D to spearhead our innovative bioprocess development. In this role, you’ll lead all strain development activities, optimize existing products, develop new ones through advanced biological and chemical processes, and oversee technology transfer between teams and external partners. This position involves cutting-edge experiment design, data interpretation, cross-team collaboration, and strategic communication with senior stakeholders. If you’re passionate about sustainable biotechnology and excel in scientific leadership, join us in pioneering the future of sustainable chemicals.

Responsibilities

  • Lead innovation efforts across multidisciplinary teams, optimizing existing products and developing new ones via biological and chemical processes.
  • Oversee all strain development and computational team activities, managing a team of four direct reports.
  • Collaborate with management to define strategic objectives and manage key priority projects.
  • Apply project management expertise to strain development initiatives.
  • Work closely with scientific teams to drive research and development goals.
  • Manage external research partnerships.

Job Requirements

  • At least 5 years of hands-on industrial R&D experience in strain development.
  • PhD or MSc in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, or a related field.
  • Proven ability to interpret scientific data and a solid understanding of statistics.
  • Effective communicator skilled in translating scientific data into actionable decisions and engaging with both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Creative problem solver, always full of new ideas, who challenges the status quo and never postpones what can be done today.
