At Fertin Pharma, we are committed to developing a new product category with the best cannabinoid products in the world for the benefit of patients suffering from e.g., chronic pain, insomnia, anxiety, and more.

Based at our HQ in Vejle, you will work with highly skilled scientists dedicated to developing superior cannabinoid products. You will play a key role in improving our productivity and ways of working by promoting an agile mindset and establishing Scrum methodologies in our development teams.

In Fertin Pharma’s cannabinoids category, we have recently embarked on an agile journey to optimize quality and speed in science and innovation activities. To succeed with this, we need an experienced Scrum Master to help lead driving this transformation within multiple innovation teams as part of our agile change management journey.

· Significant experience with change management processes and projects

· Experience with scaling agile across an organization.

· Excellent communication and facilitation skills.
