Manager and concept developer for café, museum shop and events in a new museum – Perron1, Museum Skanderborg

Museum Skanderborg has undergone an ambitious remodeling and development project and now opens Perron1, the museum's new main department, at Skanderborg Station. We are therefore seeking an engaged employee who can further develop the concept and take charge of the daily operation of the new café, shop and waiting area.

Additionally

• Develop event concepts and host events in the house in both the Waiting Hall, the View, the Reading Lounge and the Workshop and be innovative in approach to different target groups: museum guests, meeting and business guests, volunteers, annual pass holders, VIP events, etc.
• Develop café- and shop products and services that can support the museum's identity and storytelling.

We expect that you

• Have experience from the café, restaurant or service industry and experience with personnel management and purchasing.

• Can work both independently and with others.
• Outgoing, inclusive and eager to create good guest experiences

• Application deadline no later than October 21, 2026.

• Full-time – evening/weekend work to be expected.
