• Potentially contributing to handling financial and administrative tasks in connection with payout of support from funds.

We offer

You will become part of a unit with about 40 employees spread across several professional teams; you will be part of our cross-cutting team that supports the unit’s professional work with, among other things, financial management, HR and personnel tasks, data, communications, legal issues and various administrative tasks.

We sit at Islands Brygge 37 in the unit’s shared home zone on the 5th floor. We work in an activity-based layout, and therefore do not have fixed desks. This means, among other things, that it is possible to move around depending on whether you need to work with focus, collaborate with colleagues or hold meetings.
