Team Leader for Metroselskabet's Directorate Secretariat

Do you want to work with cross-cutting business development, strategy implementation and board and owner support? Are you keen to play a central role in Metroselskabet with a focus on developing strong relationships across the company and leading an efficient, service-oriented secretariat with a high level of well-being? Then the job as team leader in the Secretariat & Risk unit might be for you.

As part of strengthening the company’s cross-functional task execution and translating strategic goals into practice, we are seeking a collaborative and analytically strong team leader with solid business understanding – both for the commercial bottom line and for the framework of public ownership. You will head a small team that together ensures smooth daily operations and further develops the Secretariat’s task execution.

About the job

As team leader for the Directors’ Secretariat you will be responsible for

• driving and facilitating cross-cutting business development at the group level – e.g. implementation and follow-up of Metroselskabet’s business strategy 2027-2030 and strengthening the company’s work with governance and compliance, so strategic goals are translated into concrete initiatives, and decision-making processes and governance are supported in practice
• ensuring an efficient daily operation and strengthening the quality assurance of professionally strong deliverables within the directors’, board’s and owner’s support, so the Directors’ Secretariat is perceived as a trustworthy, quality-conscious and service-oriented collaboration partner for both internal and external relations
• leading a competent team of five motivated employees – with a focus on prioritization, professional development, well-being and efficient task execution

The tasks receive high visibility and are solved in close interaction with Metroselskabet’s executive management and leadership.

As team leader you will become part of a management group consisting of three team leaders and the head of the Secretariat & Risk, who together have responsibility for the unit’s and the three teams’ tasks and development.

Sharp analyst with business acumen and a desire to lead

We expect you to work in a structured and analytical way – and to be able to combine a strong helicopter view with a sense for important details. You can translate high-level goals into concrete tasks and ensure progress and follow-up in daily task execution.

You are a team player who takes responsibility for creating a good collaboration culture and motivates employees and the team to succeed together, even when several deliverables must be prioritized at the same time.

You are outgoing, communicatively strong and good at building relationships. At the same time you are persistent, logically thinking, have natural persuasive power and are not afraid to make decisions.

In addition, we would like you to have

• a social science master’s degree or equivalent relevant advanced education
• significant relevant experience with cross-cutting business development, strategy implementation and organizational development, secretariat support and/or other forms of analytically driven governance
• solid experience in navigating politically governed organisations with both commercial goals, public ownership and corporate social responsibility
• experience with driving complex cross-disciplinary deliverables, decision-making processes and reporting – preferably to top management level and boards
• strong collaboration and communication skills, both written and oral, in Danish and English
• experience with people management – or documented experience in motivating and leading professional communities and partners towards common goals

Take on leadership responsibility in an ambitious unit close to the decision-makers

You will be part of a unit where directors’ and board support, governance and risk management meet in daily task execution. The Secretariat & Risk unit consists of 21 dedicated colleagues who work with directors’ support, corporate and board support, governance, facility management and risk management close to Metroselskabet’s managers, executive board and board – and with extensive contact with the house’s specialists.

We have an informal tone, set the bar high professionally and place emphasis on professionalism and good collaboration – and on having fun when we go to work.

We offer

• salary according to qualifications
• attractive and flexible employment terms
• a good working environment with engaged colleagues who collaborate to ensure quality in the company’s decision-making basis and daily task execution
