We are looking for an experienced Management Assistant who can comfortably operate at both a strategic and operational level 

This is a role for someone who thrives creating structure, anticipating needs and helping senior leadership stay focused on what matters most. You will be a trusted partner to the Senior Vice President, Marketing & Business Innovation, helping shape priorities, create focus and maintain momentum, working across Marketing & Business Innovation as well as across the company. 

You will take ownership of the practical coordination that enables an efficient and well-functioning leadership rhythm as well as help plan energizing social events and support communication activities. 

What you will do 

Leadership Rhythm, Planning & Communication 

• You stay on top of the SVP's calendar and plan well ahead. You actively prioritize what deserves time, what can be delegated, and what should be declined. 
• You own the annual cycle and plan activities, deadlines, and milestones around it. Over time, you build a solid understanding of business priorities so you can make good judgement calls independently. 
• You have the fundamentals covered like travel, briefing material, follow-up, and the many small things that otherwise can fall between chairs. 
• You prepare, coordinate, and follow up on leadership meetings with agendas, material, decisions, and actions. 

Culture, inspiration and events 

• You enjoy arranging social gatherings, off-sites, events, and get-togethers that bring the department and colleagues together across teams. 

Visibility and communication 

• You help make sure the right events, conferences, forums and travels are planned and followed up on. 
• You support the SVP's internal and external communication and presence for information to travel on time. 

About you 

We imagine that you: 

• Have solid experience as a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant or in another coordinating role close to senior leadership. You are comfortable reaching out across levels and functions. 
• Are strong operationally and deliver with high quality without losing sight of the bigger picture 
• Are proactive and take ownership: you do not wait to be asked 
• Communicate clearly and professionally in English and Danish, written and spoken 
• Have a natural feel for people and situations, building trust and can handle confidential information with discretion 
• Are structured, realistic in your planning, and reliable on your commitments 
• Experience and knowledge of social media, particularly LinkedIn, is an advantage 

As a person you bring positive energy, and you are professional, authentic and empathetic, the kind of colleague who likes being where things get done.
