You will be responsible for building and managing supplier relationships while ensuring full transparency and compliance with company, export control, and environmental regulations.

You will report directly to the Supply Chain Manager and maintain functional collaboration with the COO, Chief Chemist, and Head of Process Technology.

• Support HSE in verifying supplier compliance with safety standards.

Recruitment process and timeline

We are currently building our Danish organization from the ground up. Because we are establishing a new defense-tech production facility, the final regulatory and technical approvals take time.

Therefore, the recruitment process for this position will extend over the next 2-3 months.

What this means for you: We are leaving the job post open and reviewing applications on an ongoing basis. We will reach out to relevant candidates continuously for initial talks, but the final hiring decisions and start dates will be locked in once the facility approvals are fully in place.

We encourage you to apply now if you want to be part of the core team from the very beginning.
