ABOUT THE POSITION

With our client in Södertälje, innovative and high-tech environments meet to manufacture life-changing medicines. It is a daily life marked by unwavering team spirit, supportive leadership, and a curiosity that pushes boundaries. Here, the days are filled with healthy choices: morning spinning sessions, laughter-filled coffee breaks with colleagues, and walks in the illuminated track.
