Why Join

What’s it like working at Coloplast?

Culture of collaboration

We have been listening and collaborating with people with intimate healthcare needs for decades, and those external relationships have had a profound impact on how we work  internally. Our shared purpose means we are all aligned and striving for the same thing. It encourages us to listen intently to each other, it inspires us to challenge the status quo together, and it helps us to combine our individual talents into a collective response.

What’s in it for me?

Personal empowerment

We empower you to take ownership of your career, setting the direction and charting the course for how to get there. As well as access to the experience and knowledge needed in order to learn and grow, you will be met with a variety of opportunities and challenges. With drive and ambition, those opportunities are yours for the taking. 

Why does it matter?

Making a difference

Making a long-lasting difference in people’s lives is not just about the product that goes into the box or the service we provide, it is about what comes out of the close relationships we have with the people we serve. Because behind every innovative solution, there is a team of different people, each with strong contributions.

What for you might be a regular day at work, could improve how others would live the rest of their lives.
