Do you want to build digital solutions that help make life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs?

Join one of Coloplast’s diverse development teams to lead the effort of building and maintaining the frontends of our CMS and commerce websites for our Chronic Care program – and play a key role in ensuring that our digital services can make a real difference for Coloplast consumers and healthcare professionals worldwide.

Ambitious digital and technology agenda at the center of Coloplast’s new 5-year strategy

Coloplast, one of the world’s leading med-tech companies, just launched a new 5-year strategy called Impact4. The strategy includes significant investments into two new transformational technology programs aimed at delivering next-level user experiences for chronic patients and driving up scalability within global manufacturing.

We call this ‘Impact through technology’, and to deliver on the ambitious targets, we will be looking for 40+ new colleagues for our Digital, Data & IT organization over the next 18 months. If you want to be part of this digital transformation and make a lasting impact, then this might be the next career move for you!

You will own the frontend architecture on our Chronic Care program

Working at our HQ in Humlebæk, you will be responsible for frontend development related to our Chronic Care program within eCommerce & Digital Solutions. You will help shape the digital roadmap needed to support the program and ensure high-quality code delivery – either hands‑on or by coaching developers.

An essential part of your role will be to collaborate closely with international stakeholders from Chronic Care, Branding & Design, and with product owners to ensure that all project features (we use Figma for our design) are built according to our technical standards and are ready for development and global use.

You will also:

• Set the technical direction for frontend development with other development leads
• Prevent technical debt while delivering new features
• Lead major rewrites and refactorings
• Ensure optimal user experience and accessibility compliance according to EAA and ADA
• Align with backend leads to ensure seamless integration
• Keep frontend packages secure and up to date
• Co‑own the design system for Chronic Care, ensuring brand consistency and reusable components

Highly experienced frontend developer with an eye for scalability, UX and accessibility

You excel at handling very large and complex codebases within the framework of a highly regulated industry, and you enjoy staying up‑to‑date with new technologies and trends in the frontend development space.

At the same time, you excel at conveying technical challenges to non‑technical audiences, enabling you to participate in technical discussions with other stakeholders of varying technical skill levels – always keeping the end‑user and user experience top of mind.

To do so, we imagine that you bring:

• 10+ years of experience with general frontend development with TypeScript/JavaScript, CSS and HTML
• Extensive experience using Vue.js as a frontend framework
• A deep understanding of web development on a global scale, with all the challenges it brings
• Extensive experience leading other frontend developers on large development teams
• A keen eye for visual design and UX, always taking accessibility into account

Interested?

If you would like to know more about the position, please call Head of Digital SW Development Thomas Schmidt on [phone]. We will take candidates into the recruitment process continuously, so do not hesitate to apply. This position will remain open until a suitable candidate has been found.

Pursuing an ambitious growth agenda, Coloplast develops and markets products and services that make life easier for people with intimate healthcare needs. Employing about 16.000 people and with products available in more than 143 countries, we are one of the world´s leading medical device companies. We are constantly growing our business and always looking for new ways to move forward – we explore, learn and look for new ways of doing things.

Coloplast is committed to being an inclusive organization, where people bring their differences to work each day, fulfil their potential and have a strong sense of belonging because – and not despite – of their differences. We therefore encourage all qualified candidates to apply regardless of gender, age, race, nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious belief or physical ability.
