The posting

Inwatec is looking for a Software Director to lead our software function and take product ownership of our Feeder platform. This is a broad leadership role for someone who can set direction, build strong software engineering capabilities, and stay close to customers, products, and execution.

Based at our office in Odense, you will lead approximately 15 software engineers across PLC, PC, AI, and Software Innovation. Three leads take responsibility for daily task coordination within these areas, while all employees in the software team report directly to the Software Director. You will also guide a cross-functional Feeder team as a new product moves into full-scale production and further maturity, while preparing for the next generation of solutions.

About Inwatec & the Laundrynerds

Inwatec develops industrial automation and robotics with integrated AI solutions for large industrial laundries worldwide and is recognized as an innovation leader in the industry. As part of the JENSEN-GROUP, we combine the speed and ownership of a focused growth company with the reach and opportunities of a global industry leader. We are building a scalable, high-performing operation while strengthening Inwatec as an innovation and software-engineering center of gravity for the wider group and industry. We love our informal work environment, where every idea is taken seriously, and everybody is treated equally. On Fridays, we meet at our bar for an after-work beer or some ping-pong.

The Opportunity

You will have two complementary mandates:

  • Functional leadership: Own the capability, organization, and performance of the software function across PLC, PC, and AI.
  • Product ownership: Lead priorities, customer value, and cross-functional execution for the Feeder platform.

You will report to Inwatec’s Managing Director and join the leadership team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Set and maintain the software strategy, architecture, engineering practices, tools, and development processes across PLC, PC, and AI.
  • Contribute actively to Inwatec’s leadership team and optimize the company and JENSEN-GROUP as a whole.
  • Lead approximately 15 software employees directly and develop the three leads for PLC, PC, AI, and Software Innovation, who coordinate tasks and provide day-to-day direction within their areas.
  • Allocate software resources across product platforms in line with agreed half-year priorities.
  • Strengthen platform compliance, technical quality, and cross-functional decision-making.
  • Own the Feeder product roadmap, priorities, and customer outcomes within the agreed technical framework.
  • Lead the cross-functional Feeder team through maturation and subsequent product development.
  • Balance strategic direction with hands-on operational support, timely problem-solving, and coaching.

What We are Looking for

  • Leadership or substantial functional-lead experience in software engineering.
  • Experience with software that enables physical products; industrial automation is strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding across PLC, PC, and AI domains, with particular depth in PLC or software close to machinery.
  • Understanding of software platforms, architecture, tools, and engineering practices.
  • Experience working across strategic, operational, and hands-on priorities.
  • Product ownership experience or a strong customer and product orientation.
  • A collaborative, enterprise-minded approach that puts company outcomes ahead of functional silos.
  • A strong sense of ownership and pride in delivering on commitments.

How We Lead

Our leadership culture is built on trust, constructive conflict, commitment, peer accountability, and collective results. We expect leaders to create a safe environment without lowering standards, give and welcome clear feedback, address issues directly, and help teams move from escalating problems to owning solutions.

Location and Working Model

The role is based at Inwatec’s office in Odense, Denmark. Our standard working model is office-based. English is the corporate language; much of the everyday office conversation is in Danish, so Danish capability is preferred.

Why Join Inwatec?

You will join a recognized innovation leader in the industrial-laundry industry, shape a growing software organization, and influence products used in demanding industrial environments worldwide. This is an opportunity to help scale an entrepreneurial company without losing its agility, customer focus, or collaborative spirit, with real responsibility across people, technology, product, and business outcomes.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and a short application as PDF explaining your experience with software-enabled physical products, leadership across multiple software domains and product ownership.
