You communicate fluently, verbally and written, in English and it is an advantage if you also know some Swedish, German or French.
As a person you are structured, self-propelled and like to collaborate with colleges and different stakeholders internally and externally. We work in a global market and therefore team working skills are crucial as well as being pedagogic when giving guidance to others. You have capacity to innovate in a focused and product-oriented manner and an interest in and awareness of the market context of a commercial seed business.
