In this central position, you lead the global R&D organization towards a truly collaborative environment with a cross-functional mindset. This includes transforming customer needs and our technical expertise into commercially profitable concepts and solutions that ensure return of investments. You continue to develop and drive our strategies, in a clear and customer-centric way that make us enhance our state-of-the-art offering and stay ahead of competition in the evolving technological landscape. Technology and product development are essentials for us, and you collaborate with our business units and external stakeholders to ensure that our technology platforms and new products are developed.
By keeping a holistic and agile approach, you optimize both methodologies and ways of working that will lift our performances, develop competence for the future and increase our market leading position. You are constantly in a dialogue with our business units to understand the requirements and shifts in the market, and you capture current and future opportunities by continuing to develop business case supported offerings that add value to our customers.
Your role comes with a very broad network, and you're recognized as a promoter of great partnerships with suppliers, technology leading institutes and internal stakeholders. As a result-oriented, inclusive and inspiring leader, you coach and challenge your team - developing our people and the organization, as well as promoting a culture of change, learning and improvements.

We're looking for a qualified people manager with a relevant academic degree.

An understanding of our business is an advantage, but not a must.
Your passion for business goes without saying, and you're interested in other people, tactical and outgoing, while at the same time very organized and solutions-oriented. Making decisions and taking action are no match for you, and you keep a broad horizon as you drive a clear way forward focused on quality, speed and profitability. As a leader, you bring an agile and collaborative mindset, the power to innovate and a foundation for development - both personally and for your team.
Your genuine ways build trust in relations and always leave a positive impact among the people you meet. By excellent communication, you clarify our path, and you engage and inspire people to commit to our long-term strategy and future vision.
Acting in a truly global arena, you need an open mind and cultural awareness, as well as great communication and presentation skills English.
