Process Development Chemist / Engineer

Are you passionate about transforming innovative chemistry into scalable industrial processes? Join our Process R&D team in Kantvik and play a key role in developing next-generation biomaterials, health products, and sustainable technologies through hands-on laboratory and pilot-scale experimentation!

In this role, you will play a key role in developing and scaling innovative processes for biomolecules, biomaterials, and health-related products within IFF's global Health & Biosciences organization. This is a highly hands-on position where you will spend a significant portion of your time designing, executing, and evaluating laboratory and pilot-scale experiments while collaborating with cross-functional teams across R&D and manufacturing. You will translate scientific concepts into robust, scalable industrial processes, supporting projects from early development through commercial implementation. The role offers opportunities to contribute to technology transfers, manufacturing support, and continuous improvement initiatives across our global production network. We are looking for a curious, practical problem-solver who thrives in the laboratory, enjoys working close to the technology, and is motivated by transforming ideas into real-world solutions. The role is based in Kantvik, Kirkkonummi, Finland (onsite role). Be part of a collaborative, innovative, and globally connected team where together we can achieve greatness and make a real impact!
