The team lead will also have experience in process development and a track record of delivering high quality results in a QC setting.

Oversee the quality of analytical results, including the development and implementation of quality control and assurance protocols

Getting to advance state-of-the-art technology
Competitive salary and equity in the company
Start-up mentality. No red tape, lots of responsibility and ownership

An environment where you’re free — and expected — to continuously learn and grow
One of the best cities in the world to live and work, and we offer relocation support and help you get set up. But don't take our word for the quality of life in Stockholm — instead just listen to this guy for five minutes:https://youtu.be/CAkdWUjdJyA



Who you are
We’re looking for someone at the top of their abilities. Although we think this probably means you have a PhD or MSc in analytical chemistry, (or a related field), this is not a requirement. A number of years experience in a senior analytical chemistry role is advantageous. Hands on experience as well as deep theoretical knowledge of analytical chemistry, method development and validation is a must and some managerial experience would be a plus. Candidates that are truly outstanding with other backgrounds will also be considered.
In terms of personal qualities, we’re looking for someone who is passionate about their work, who gets things done, who wants to push boundaries. And, not least, who is also a friendly, cooperative person. If this describes you, you’ll fit in with the rest of the team!
