Are you ready to join a young company and make real and lasting impact for our climate?

Our purpose is to eliminate emissions.

Our tool in this, macroalgae biosolutions.

Maripure is a new’ish company, with great ambition to play a key role in the green transition of our agrifood system, making it better for the planet and for its people. In fact, we like to focus on actions, rather than words, so you won't even find a website. But rest assured, Maripure operates in close collaboration with Danish industry and universities to develop seaweed derived bioproducts specifically targeting emissions removal.

Our approach involves unique, controlled environment cultivation systems offering bioremediation and securing of high-quality biomass raw material. Our team is expanding and we are looking for a cultivation specialist to join our mission.

The role

You are an experienced seaweed cultivation specialist, ideally with red seaweeds, and with specific experience with Bonnemaisonia spp. and/ or Asparagopsis spp. an advantage. Your role will focus on enhancing biomass yield and characteristics for valorisation. Specifically, we are looking for:

- A safety-first approach

- Design and implementation of cultivtaion research and development of novel methodologies to improve processes and support new products

- Analyses and communication of data and findings, both internally and externally

- Support the industrialisation of defined processes; experience in a production environment is highly valued

- Ensure compliance to quality and biosecurity procedures

- Compile data and report utilising relevant scientific literature

- Have, or develop, knowledge of relevant standards and regulatory matters

- Stay up to date with relevant science and biotechnologies to incorporate into work practices and communicate with colleagues.

We are a 3-years young early-stage company establishing a scaled production facility. As such, you should be excited by helping to build our operating environment and processes, rather than wanting to be in a fully established organisation.

We prioritise open and transparent communication, accuracy and the ability to think and act proactively.

We are an international team at Maripure, with colleagues from Denmark and around the world. Given this, our day-to-day working language is English, but rest assured that we’re used to many different accents!

Maripure supports standard Danish employment rules plus also provides an additional bonus week of annual leave. Salary will be based on experience and education.
