- Validate strategies and ideas through laboratory-scale experiments to evaluate technologies.
- Manage development projects with external service providers to create end-to-end processes for purifying complex product mixtures into pure fine chemicals.
- Define and align input and output streams (chemical and physical properties) and establish product specifications.
- Collaborate closely with management as well as upstream and downstream R&D teams.
- Drive innovation by co-developing and implementing next-generation purification technologies.
- Ensure SHEQ and sustainability standards are upheld in all laboratory, pilot, and production activities, including knowledge of REACH/CLP, LCA, recycling, and end-of-life strategies.

**Your Profile**:

- Degree in Organic Chemistry, Technical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related discipline (PhD preferred).
- Several years of industrial experience in the synthesis and/or purification of fine chemicals.
- Proven track record in project management and successful implementation of processes or syntheses.
- Ideally familiar with cGMP, ISO 9001, or equivalent quality systems.
- Proficiency in analytical instrumentation and data interpretation.
- Excellent communication skills in English (written and spoken); German is a plus.
- Hands-on mindset, structured way of working, and the ability to collaborate seamlessly across disciplines in a fast-paced environment.
