We are looking for a Senior LIMS Specialist who will play a key role in the platform's initial implementation – from understanding requirements and supporting solution design, to contributing to configuration, testing, training, and technical documentation to ensure a stable, compliant solution. Following the implementation phase, you will transition into the role of Technical Solution Owner (TSO), taking responsibility for the platform and working closely with the Global Process Owner (GPO) to oversee daily operations and drive continuous improvements as business needs evolve.

The role spans platform’s implementation and its long-term operational ownership, with key activities such as:

• Leading technical activities related to LIMS implementation projects, including scoping, design decisions, rollout, and vendor coordination

• Owning the LIMS platform as the global technical point of contact, managing communication between business stakeholders and the external vendor

• Configuring and maintaining the LabVantage LIMS platform, ensuring stability and optimal performance

• Driving system development through the RFC process, including evaluation, specification, testing, and documentation

• Monitoring platform performance and ensure proper system support for global users

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration between LIMS and other systems (e.g., ERP)

• Handling support cases and managing recurring issues, including escalation and follow-up with vendors

• Maintaining system documentation and ensuring compliance with validation, change management, and audit requirements

• Supporting knowledge sharing, training initiatives, and train-the-trainer activities for business users

• Participating in operational processes related to deployment, monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement of LIMS operations

 What you bring

You are an excellent communicator who thrives in the interface between business and IT, and you are comfortable engaging with stakeholders at all levels of the organization. You understand user needs and are able to translate technical concepts into clear, accessible language.

Moreover, we imagine you have:

• Hands-on experience working with LIMS platforms, ideally LabVantage

• A good understanding of design and user‑experience principles

• Problem solving mindset with ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues efficiently

• A degree in Computer Science or equivalent

• Fluency in both spoken and written English

On a personal level, you are a team player known for your willingness to share knowledge and work transparently. You are curious, structured, and analytical in your approach, and you thrive when working both independently and as part of a distributed team.

 We offer:

• Onsite/Hybrid/Remote work possibilities within European time zones due to team collaboration needs

• International work environment with Scandinavian culture

• Opportunity to use and develop foreign languages in daily work

• A fantastic work atmosphere built on respect, collaboration, and partnership
