You will report directly to People Leader Lene Rhein Larsen, who is based in Hellerup, and your workplace will also be our Hellerup office. Expect high ambition, great teamwork, and plenty of opportunities to make your mark along the way.

Your key responsibilities will be to:

• Demonstrate strong system flair, with the ability to understand and navigate in technical solutions, bridging technologies and business processes.
• Collect requirements from the business related to changes to existing systems or projects, and be able to translate these into User Stories (supporting our agile way of working)
