The Position

This role offers a unique opportunity to work with multiple stakeholders including late-stage development, analysis teams, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, pilot facilities, production facilities, and external partners.

Since the role requires a high degree of self-organization, prioritizing work assignments is crucial. You can anticipate both personal and professional growth in this position.

While the role is based in Bagsværd, the primary objective is to support the API manufacturing facilities in Kalundborg, DK, and Clayton, US. You can look forward to spending 1-3 days a month in Kalundborg, along with occasional minor travel activities.

Your main focus will be on:

  1. API process optimization.
  2. Providing support to production facilities, including problem-solving.
  3. Planning and evaluation of experiments.
  4. Preparation of protocols and reports.
  5. Preparation and maintenance of development documentation.

Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you have:

  1. A master's degree in chemistry, pharmacy, chemical engineering, pharmaceutical design and engineering, or a related field.
  2. Preferably hands-on experience or knowledge in one or more of the following fields: protein recovery and purification, separation techniques like filtration, chromatography, and precipitation or/and organic chemistry and chemical modifications.
  3. Experience with programming and utilising large data sets for predictive modelling are skills, which is considered an advantage.
  4. Full professional proficiency in written and spoken English, while having proficiency in Danish is nice to have.

As a person, you excel in working independently and as a team player through complex and sometimes demanding workdays. A strong sense of responsibility and dedication propels you to tackle new assignments and ensure their completion.

Effective communication skills and a collaborative approach with various stakeholders enable the achievement of shared goals in our team.
