Head of Digital

Developing platform for informing sustainable product development decisions

Do you want to help strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of Danish industry through new production technologies and Additive Manufacturing? Do you have experience in advanced manufacturing, product development, or building digital platforms – and the desire to create real change for the industry?

Then you may be the one to help us develop the tools we need to realize our mission as head of digital development, with a possibility for a co-founding role.

About us and the position

Danish AM Hub works to make Danish companies world leaders in the use of AM and new production technologies. We help them develop better products, processes, and business models with lower CO2 footprint, less waste, and greater resilience – for example through digital inventories, circular business models, and efficient design.

A key enabler in our future is to be able to support manufacturers with a few key tools to e.g. digitalize and simulate production processes, make sustainable product choices, and get the most from new manufacturing technologies.

Our first step is a proprietary CO2e calculator that helps companies realize the climate impact of their choices during product development and make sustainability-informed manufacturing decisions. We have developed a solid proof of concept together with leading actors in Danish industry, and we are ready to further develop and scale the calculator.

Your responsibilities

Your responsibility will be to drive the development and scaling of the tools the industry needs, initially the CO2e calculator. Together, we will establish and pursue the most promising scenarios for developing the platform. We see opportunities both for securing funding to jointly develop it with other industry players, integrating with other platforms, or creating a separate spin-off in the future. On a daily basis, you will work closely with Danish AM Hub’s leadership and our product owner for the CO2e calculator, building on our experience and network within the Danish industry.

Your key tasks will include:

• Establishing the market potential and identifying user needs so we can develop our front end and provide the most valuable calculations and scenarios
• Scaling – prioritizing processes and materials to be added to the calculator
• Orchestrating the advisors and suppliers required to further build and maintain the platform
• Exploring opportunities for integration with e.g. manufacturers or other platforms
• Setting up a scalable framework for further software development and material additions, e.g. from material producers
• Contributing to applications for innovation/development funding

You will be based in Valby and visit SMEs and larger manufacturers across Denmark, as well as abroad when needed. The role is newly established, and you will have the opportunity to shape it along the way. There is also the possibility of a co-founder role in a scenario where we create an independent company together.

Your profile

You are focused and have a strong sense of prioritization, enabling you to drive and develop the calculator to the benefit of Danish industry – especially small and medium-sized enterprises, but also larger manufacturers.

Ideally, you meet many of the following criteria:

• 5-6 years of experience from a software company, start-up, or consultancy, where you have had direct responsibility for digital development and/or growth strategy
• Understanding of software development and scaling, as well as SaaS principles
• Experience with manufacturing companies and an understanding of product development and production processes
• At least a basic understanding of sustainability dynamics and LCA principles
• A relevant education, e.g. within software development, production technology, strategy, innovation, or similar. Your specific education is less important than your experience.

It is not a requirement that you have prior knowledge of AM technology, but experience with advanced manufacturing and familiarity with the Danish industry will be an advantage, just as speaking Danish is not a requirement but will be an asset for you.
