Danish Crown is currently undergoing a financial transformation, moving from a historically focused and transaction-based approach towards a more forward-looking and digital way of working.

We expect you to bring proven finance experience from a manufacturing environment. You are recognised by your stakeholders for your financial expertise and for your ability to translate numbers into meaningful business insights.

You are comfortable challenging existing perspectives and bringing different viewpoints into discussions while maintaining your integrity.

Furthermore, we expect that you

• Hold a master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, an HD degree or similar.
• Have 3+ years of experience from a similar finance or business partnering role.
