The position is 15–20 hours per week. We value flexibility and will collaborate with you to ensure your working hours complement your studies.

Based at our HQ in Vibenshuset (Lyngbyvej 2, 2100 Copenhagen), you will join our Strategy, Transformation, and Operations team (COO Office).

You will report to Nicolai Holmershøj Nielsen, Director (Strategy, Projects & Compliance), and work closely with Niels Truong (Chief Strategy Officer & CIO), while occasionally supporting the Finance Office with invoicing during peak periods.

What you will do

Your responsibilities will vary depending on current strategic priorities, but will typically include:

• Supporting follow-up on key initiatives and workstreams within our Fit for Growth Strategy 2028
• Preparing research, analyses, and background material for the COO Office across strategic topics and projects
• Structuring presentations and management communication material

To thrive in your new role as Student Assistant, we imagine that you are:

• Enrolled in a bachelor’s or master’s programme in Denmark with at least 1½ years remaining of your studies
• Curious and open to acquiring new skills, systems, and processes – we do not expect you to know everything from day one.
• Are comfortable working with M365 and new digital tools
• Detail oriented and take pride in delivering quality work without compromising deadlines
• Organized and able to adjust to changing priorities in your work
• Able to communicate fluently in English, both in writing and speech. Danish is not required, but Danish is the office language in our HQ.

Why this role is interesting 

This position offers a unique opportunity to work close to senior leadership and gain hands-on experience supporting strategy execution in practice across markets and functions.

You will gain insight into how strategic initiatives are translated into operational change across markets and functions, while building analytical and project management capabilities.

What we offer

• A team-oriented, joyful, and high-performing culture
• Attractive hourly salary
• Breakfast every Friday morning at the office
• Lunch arrangement as well as free soft drinks and fruit at the office
