CEO - Build, Fund & Scale a Venture Funded Biosolutions Company | Copenhagen

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) - Biosolutions

Confidential Opportunity | Copenhagen, Denmark | Venture-backed Biosolutions Company

Are you ready to lead a science-driven company through its next phase of growth?

We are supporting an ambitious, venture-backed AgBio company in the search for its next CEO.

The company has developed a strong technology platform and early product pipeline and is now preparing for a pivotal new chapter - securing Series A funding, strengthening its commercial foundations and positioning the business for long-term growth.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and commercially driven leader who combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution and thrives in an early-stage environment.

The opportunity

As CEO, you will take overall responsibility for advancing the business, working closely with an experienced founding team and board.

Your key priorities will include:

Lead the upcoming Series A fundraising process , engaging with investors and convincingly selling a compelling equity story.

Drive commercial strategy and scaling and engage in all aspects of business development.

Translate progress into a clear, investable business proposition.

Take ownership of financial planning, organisational development, and day-to-day business operations.

Build on the company's existing strengths and position it for its next stage of growth.

Everything in close collaboration with the founders and management team.

Who we are looking for

You are likely to have experience from a startup or scaleup within Ag or Food biosolutions, biotechnology or another science-driven B2B industry.

Ideally, you bring:

Meaningful involvement in institutional fundraising, preferably at Series A level.

Strong commercial acumen and the ability to communicate a compelling vision to investors, partners and stakeholders.

Experience developing and growing businesses in complex, technology-driven markets.

A solid understanding of financial management and business operations.

An entrepreneurial mindset and the willingness to operate hands-on in a small, ambitious organisation.

Strong people leadership skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with founders and technical specialists.

Previous CEO experience is an advantage, but not a requirement. We are equally interested in ambitious commercial or operational leaders ready to take the next step.

Why join?

This is an opportunity to demonstrate superior execution skills and take a leading role in building a company with industry-changing potential, backed by experienced founders and investors.

You will be the external face of the company, responsible for investor and key stakeholder interactions and ultimately responsible for the company’s future commercial success.

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark, with a significant on-site presence expected. Candidates need to be willing to relocate; however, it's not needed from day one. The collaboration can start hybrid, while the relocation process can be handled in parallel.

Compensation: Competitive salary and meaningful equity opportunity.
