Your Leader You will report to Erik Lundgren, co-founder and Head of R&D at Supernormal Greens. Working with Erik means working close to the core of how new ideas become real. He leads from the front in a fast-moving R&D environment where the goal is not to protect old assumptions, but to test, learn, and build what actually works. As a manager, Erik combines high expectations with trust and room to grow. He values ownership, curiosity, and practical problem-solving, and gives people real responsibility early. His leadership is shaped by three innovation principles: If it cannot be repeated, it does not count – results must be reliable and reproducible The plant always reveals the truth – decisions are driven by data, not assumptions Fast iterations beat slow certainty – progress comes from testing, learning, and adapting quickly That means you will be encouraged to move forward, run experiments, learn from the outcome, and adjust quickly. You will not be expected to have every answer from the start, but you will be expected to engage fully, take responsibility, and keep improving. How we Roll This is everything but normal core values. It’s the Supernormal way to unlock potential. For the planet. For the people we love. The Plant Comes First. We let the plant show us the way. We handle each plant with care and respect. We collect data and use it to make smart decisions. Human Growth. We grow as people by developing and learning new things. We respect each other by watching and listening. We give and ask for feedback. Zero Crap. We do things we are proud of. We don't waste time, resources or the environment. We say things like they are and live what we preach. We got Your Back. We dare to test, progress comes before perfection. We make development everyday by testing new things, evaluating and improving. We support each other's courage to challenge the normal.
