PROJECT MANAGER FOR PROCESS DEVELOPMENT
LEADING TO REGULATORY APPROVAL OF FOOD COLORANT

Are you an enthusiastic scientist with project leader experience, knowing how to lead process development and material production towards regulatory approval of food ingredients?

Do you have an understanding of toxicology data and regulatory submissions?

Do you have the knowledge and the determination to lead the regulatory approval of a novel food colorant by the EFSA?  

If you always wanted to be part of a start-up and actively shape the future of the company you are working in, then this is your chance to play a major role in the approval of our first food ingredient.

Chromologics is looking for a project manager for regulatory affairs to join our team and lead the approval process of our novel food colorant, ChromoRed. ChromoRed needs approval as a food additive by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).

Chromologics is a start-up company which has developed a fungal fermentation process for the production of novel colorants. We started out as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). After winning the Bio Acceleration Academy from the Bio Innovation Institute in May 2020, we successfully closed our first financing round and are now moving into the Alfa Laval Innovation House in Søborg. Our pilot production is located at DTU in Lyngby.

Our first product is the red food colorant ChromoRed. Since ChromoRed is a novel molecule it needs approval by the EFSA before it can be sold as food colorant in Europe.

Becoming our project manager for regulatory affairs is the opportunity to be part of a young dynamic and highly motivated team, who wants to revolutionize the way we produce natural colorants.

Being in a start-up offers freedom, agility, influence, and high impact on the development of the company. Your work will directly shape our business case and bring our product closer to market.

Overall, the candidate will be responsible for orchestrating the approval process of our novel food colorant, ChromoRed.
