We’re growing fast and have an even bigger ambition as we are committed to reinventing a 100-year-old industry and becoming the very standard that the world of biotech relies on.

About the position

Join our team as a Commercial Application Scientist, where your primary focus will be to gain a deep understanding of our customers' needs and objectives. In this role, you'll conduct on-site assays at Reshape to replicate and mimic various experiments. Your findings will be translated into application notes, case studies, and scientific articles, all aimed at enhancing the external documentation of Reshape.

Moreover, you'll play a pivotal role in expediting the sales process by supporting the sales team directly on technical- and application-related customer calls. As the Commercial Application Scientist, you will bridge the gap between existing application notes and customer requests, discussing how our technology can create value specifically for customers in collaboration with our account executives.

Your written work, including application notes and case studies, will be featured on our website and in other marketing material. Collaborating closely with the marketing lead, you will plan and execute these releases as part of our marketing strategy. The content will have both scientific and commercial relevance.

You will be in charge of scoping and planning certain high-value customer implementations, making sure they’re successful in collaboration with the sales and data science teams at Reshape.

The Commercial Application Scientist will refer to Magnus, Co-Founder & CRO, and be contributing directly to the overall commercial success of Reshape.


The role will entail:

  • Authoring scientifically and commercially relevant material in collaboration with marketing and sales

  • Planning, executing and documenting experiments in our in-house laboratory

  • Participating in the sales process as a technical sparring partner for our sales team and for the external customer

  • Take lead on structured and high-value customer implementations in collaboration with the sales and data science team

  • Providing feedback to the product teams and serving as an internal customer for new product development


An ideal candidate might:

  • Have a PhD or master's degree in biotechnology, food science, microbiology, or similar

  • Have 3+ years of experience working in food/ingredients, agriculture, or similar in a research and development role

  • Have relevant experience or interest in commercial roles such as marketing and/or sales

  • Be interested in joining a fast-growing startup where you can have a huge impact, working in an informal setting with a straight-forward communication style

We’re not sticklers for candidates meeting all requirements and prefer hiring candidates punching a bit above their weight. We’re looking for exceptional individuals who have accomplished great things in the past, and even more importantly, we are looking for ambitious people who share our vision of the future.


What we offer

  • A really exciting workplace in one of Denmark’s fast-growing startups.

  • Competitive compensation and an attractive warrant program.

  • Very flexible working hours (but also expect flexibility in return).

  • Catered lunch and free sodas/coffee/snacks in the office.

  • An energetic and fun workplace
