Job: Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at Celignis
Background
Are you ready to be an integral part of a team, comprising talented hard-working people, with a set of common goals and dreams for the future?
Do you have what is required to spearhead Celignis’s expansion into new markets and territories?
Will you take the innovative products and processes that we are developing and refine them into commercial offerings, clearly targeted at our key target markets, with the aim of developing significant increases in Celignis’s revenue in both the short and long term?
Will you help us to make Limerick, part of the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland, a globally-recognised hub of innovation in the bioeconomy?
If so then please keep reading…..
As a result of our hard work we are now in a strong position to move beyond being solely an analytical laboratory so that we can accelerate our growth and meet our business objectives. We are pursuing a number of strategies to achieve these goals. The first will involve us making use of the multidisciplinary expertise of our existing team by offering comprehensive bioprocess development services to bioeconomy stakeholders. The second concerns a concerted effort to increase our sales and presence in the US market, through targeting a number of key markets of near-term growth potential. The third approach focuses on in-house development of IP related to the processing of biomass/waste and the production of high-value biobased chemicals and products.
The person recruited for this position will play a vital role in this strategic global expansion of Celignis.
Requirements
At Celignis no-one works on their own, we are a team working together to make a real difference in the world. We are looking for someone brimming with ideas and strategies for securing growth in new markets and with the confidence and communication skills to ensure that those ideas are heard both inside and outside the company. Engagement with parties that could fund the development of our offerings and innovations will be a key part of the role and you should be an effective communicator that shows to the world the dynamism and passion at Celignis.
We are not looking for a lab worker, we have plenty of highly-skilled persons already in that role. However, you should have a broad and deep understanding of the biomass/biofuels/biorefining landscape and, in particular, the commercial developments and actors in that sector. The role will involve a lot of travelling, to exhibitions and for one-to-one meetings with important future clients, with a particular focus on trips to the US, so ideally you shouldn’t be a nervous flyer!
Above everything, we are looking for energy, enthusiasm, and dynamism to accelerate this Irish-based company to be a globally-recognised name in sectors other than biomass analysis. We are looking for someone that leads by example and whose activities will be an inspiration for existing and future employees.
The initial contract for our Chief Strategy Officer will be for one year. There is huge potential for the position to be extended for longer based on Celignis’s global expansion over that year and the performance of the candidate.
Benefits
You will also benefit from our wide global network of clients and collaborators. For example, we are currently active in a number of high-level research projects funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, collaborating with some of the best organisations and brightest minds in Europe.
Most important of all, you will be a key driver in the strategic development of this passionate and ambitious company and will be able to say, years from now, that you played a key role in making the shared dream of the Celignis team a reality.

Details the latests activities and findings of the ENABLING project
We are happy to announce that the 4th newsletter of the ENABLING project has been released.
ENABLING is a coordinating and supporting action funded by the H2020-RUR-2017-1 call of the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme.
The title of the project is an acronym that stands for 'Enhance New Approaches in BioBased Local Innovation Networks for Growth'. The focus of the project is on supporting the spreading of best practices
and innovation in the provision (production, pre-processing) of biomass for the Bio-Based Industry (BBI).
Celignis will play a key role in the project with regards to stressing the importance of biomass composition in terms of evaluating feedstock and technology suitability.
Over the course of the project we will also be contacting a number of stakeholders, both in Ireland and overseas, and will be involved in the organisation of a number of networking events.
