Job Description

Would you like to be responsible for the development and execution of strategy in Danske Bank’s COO area, and assist in ensuring its implementation across all areas? Do you thrive on guiding strategic direction through Annual and Quarterly Business Reviews? If collaborating with diverse stakeholders to shape future strategies and bringing our Forward ‘28 strategy to life excites you, then the Head of Strategy & Execution role might be the perfect opportunity for you!

The Strategy & Execution team, part of Strategy & Transformation in Technology & Services (T&S), consists of 15 people located in Copenhagen, Denmark and Vilnius, Lithuania.

We describe ourselves as an openminded, energetic and good-vibe team in a collaborative environment. No matter the challenges or pace we value social relations by meeting up at one of our coffee spots, joining the Friday bar – and sometimes playing a game of paddle tennis after work!
