This is our first dedicated PA position, so it is vital for us to find someone who is excited about reviewing our existing processes and working out how best for us to run PA moving forward. In the future we will look to expand the team as our project needs grow.
In this key position, you will serve as the primary point of contact for our customers for all things PA and you’ll coordinate with all internal departments. As a valued member of our global team, you will foster and enhance proactive quality processes, ensuring product compliance and optimising quality costs.
We feel that being around the team in person and being available to be hands on with the hardware on a regular basis is important. Therefore the role is a hybrid one, with time in the office each week, so being based in Helsinki is a requirement.
