An important part of the assignment is to create structure and direction for continued profitable growth. This includes developing the training business, increasing capacity, broadening the offering, and driving digitalization of internal processes and ways of working. We are seeking a confident, business-oriented, and committed leader who thrives in an entrepreneurial company where you both work long-term and are prepared to be operational on a daily basis.
