Mads Sager, Senior Director and your new manager

The position is based at our headquarters in Smørum just outside Copenhagen.

  • Medical Compliance: Oversee medical compliance and take ownership of relevant processes within the electro-acoustics domain
  • Stakeholder Management: Maintain effective collaboration with other departments and serve as the primary representative for electro-acoustic topics across the organization.

Agile people leader with domain knowledge

You have an engineering degree with relevant domain knowledge in electro-acoustics or a related field, and you have line management experience, preferably in medical devices, consumer electronics, or similar industries.

Because we are transitioning into working in the SAFe framework and will be fully implemented in 2025, experience with agile development is a parameter we will look for in your experience.

Some of the leadership values we are looking for are empathy, openness, and honesty and a proven ability to develop and inspire high-performing teams.

You should expect 10-15 travel days.
