Are you the bridge between what a client needs and what a business can deliver? Are you known for turning complexity into clear direction? If you're pragmatic and patient with people, yet analytical, commercial and solution-oriented, we'd like to hear from you.

We are hiring two Operations Managers within Marketing Operations for our Copenhagen HQ.

You will lead a local delivery team and act as a trusted partner to our in-house departments, translating client needs and business priorities into clear, actionable direction for your team.

More specifically, you will:

• Manage a local delivery team of up to 15 people
• Manage daily operations and stakeholder collaboration, working closely with other departments
•  Setting the standard for a high-performing, collaborative and trusting team culture
• Build strong, trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Identify and drive operational optimizations within a standardized service setup

For the right candidate, this role can open the door to a Global Operations Manager position, expanding your scope to leading delivery teams across our four locations globally and taking commercial ownership of your client's global operational services.

You'll join 200+ colleagues in Marketing Operations across Copenhagen, Toronto, Bangkok and San José, working with some of the world's most recognized brands including Coca-Cola, H&M, IKEA, Volvo, Shell, Nestlé and Colgate-Palmolive.

Most likely you'll be joining from a consultancy or agency background, where you've learned to navigate complexity, manage expectations, and turn it into clear next steps. Management experience is not required, but the ambition to grow into a larger leadership role is.

As a person, you are:

• Analytical and structured, with a logical approach to problem-solving
• Patient and diplomatic, skilled at building relationships over time
• Pragmatic and solution-oriented, with a natural drive to move things forward
• Curious and a fast learner, who enjoys new challenges
• A team player that brings out the best in people

What can we offer?

• Real management responsibility from day one
• Commercial responsibility for the operational services of a global account
• Experience working with some of the world's biggest brands
• A role that almost always fits into a 9-to-5 structure, with a predictability that many consultancy and agency roles can't offer
• Potential path to global leadership, managing delivery teams across our four locations

All in all, this is a rare opportunity for ambitious talents who are looking to build management and global experience on top of their consultancy toolbox.
