Your tasks  
You will be employed in the accounting team which is a vital part of a corporate finance department of 17 dedicated colleagues.

While we don’t expect you to have experience in all areas, we hope you are motivated to learn and contribute to the team’s deliverables. In other words, you will gain broad hands-on experience across the full spectrum of accounting tasks.

Specifically, you will:

• Manage accounts payable, including follow-up on master data and internal billing.

We value strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and a structured approach to work. You take responsibility and approach tasks with openness and dedication. Curiosity and a willingness to learn new systems are essential, as is a proactive approach to problem-solving. While we communicate in Danish in the office, experience in an international setting and familiarity with English accounting terminology are advantageous.

This position offers you the chance to develop in a professional environment, leveraging your expertise in an international company. You will engage in diverse tasks that provide ample challenges while enjoying flexibility and the option for remote work. There is significant potential for both professional and personal growth.
