Join our mission to change how our food is grown

Are you an experienced financial leader who is excited about team and company development? Are you passionate about sustainability and want to be part of a fast-growing and impactful company where collaboration, flexibility, and shared responsibility are core values? Then we’d love to hear from you.

About Us

At Nordic Microbes A/S, we are on a mission to make farming more sustainable, productive, and profitable without synthetic pesticides and fertilisers. Our biological products harness the power of beneficial microorganisms to support healthier crops and soils.

In just four years, we have raised €9M in funding, built cutting-edge labs, established a fermentation plant, and grown to a team of 22 highly engaged colleagues with backgrounds within engineering, microbiology, farming, sales and finance.

Our first product, SeedSpeed®, was launched in spring 2023, and we have several new products under development that will be launched in the coming years. We sell to farmers and seed companies in Denmark, Sweden and UK.

You are comfortable stepping outside your role when needed, whether that means joining a sales meeting, tagging along on a trip to meet the farmers, lending a hand with practical tasks in the office, or backing up a colleague on short notice. You value being part of a team where everyone contributes to both the professional and social sides of work. You thrive in an open, transparent, and collaborative culture, where things move fast and are unpredictable.

• Present financial statements to the CEO, Board of Directors, and key stakeholders.
• Support the company’s efforts in relation to raising new capital from investments, debt and grants.
• Evaluate the financial implication of our projects and activities.
• Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements across all financial functions.
• Oversee associated legal, HR and administrative functions.

Qualifications

Why Join Us?
