• Act as an expert for junior team members, share information, and take proactive steps to excel in your role 

Our commitment to innovation also applies to the way we work. We therefore embrace the hybrid workplace – with a blend of home office in Denmark and on-site work in Søborg, Denmark where our team is based.

To succeed in this role you have passion for our purpose and an eagerness to drive change. Your ethical compass and strong sense of responsibility ensure that you have a dedicated and influential presence. You are driven to excel and inspire others to do the same.

You thrive in a multicultural environment of continuous development, and you are excellent at establishing contact, communicating, collaborating with colleagues, as well as challenging them. You have outstanding planning, and project management skills. You are analytical and able to present in a structured, clear, and accurate way.
