Technology and Business Developer at Novige AB

About Us:
Novige AB is a fast-growing Swedish cleantech SME. Since 2016, we have been tirelessly developing our game-changing innovation, NoviOcean wave energy converter (WEC). During the past few years, our team has acquired various awards and recognitions both in the offshore energy sector and the energy industry in general, due to our innovative approach as well as dedication towards our mission, “Saving the climate with profitable wave power”. In this journey forward, we put our climate mitigation goals, ethics, transparency, and equal treatment above everything else.

In the next 4 years, we plan to design, construct, deploy, test and certify our first full-scale NoviOcean pilot unit, called NO500. This involves the floating structure, hydraulic system, electrical and control systems, and the turbine/generator assembly, as well as all the non-technical work associated with it. Therefore, during this time we envision plenty of communications with both Swedish agencies/partners/consultants as well as subcontractors and suppliers across Europe.
After successful demonstration of the first full-scale unit and proving the bankability of the system, we expect to expand our global partnership and licensing strategies, attract early customers, and install larger post-commercial arrays in Europe and later globally.
As our company grows and more complex projects are being initiated due to the natural progression in Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale, we need to expand our team to make sure we are effectively moving towards our goals. At this stage, we are looking for a new colleague who can take the role of “Technology and Business Developer”.


The Role and Key Responsibilities:
The tasks are very varied, and the role is surprisingly wide. Therefore, it is hard for us to write everything that is needed in this ad. However, to give you an idea, some of the tasks/responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
Assistance in managing day-to-day operations of the workplace and making sure the administrative processes are handled effectively.
Taking charge of the administration processes and related responsibilities, as well as managing external (and sometimes internal) communications.

Taking charge of managing the student projects.
Assisting in reporting with regards to grant projects both on the national and EU-level.
Finding and evaluating suppliers and subcontractors.
Performing market studies and analysis.
Working very closely with CEO, COO, CTO, and other team members, relieving them in their tasks, and gradually taking more and more responsibility for both tasks and responsibilities.
Gradually transferring to being the main point of contact in relation to selected subcontractors and entities.
Assisting in both economic and technical matters of both simple nature and high complexity.
