You’ll be part of a talented and dedicated team of eight people, mainly based in Denmark. We have a sister team in Poland, which you’ll work closely together with. You’ll also have stakeholders across the finance organisation in both Poland and Denmark, from Accounting and Controlling, Billing, to Business Finance and Transfer Pricing (Tax).
