Head of Project Finance

Do you want to move our finance function closer to the business? Can you drive a smooth transition to new systems and introduce new workflows? Are you an expert in project finance best practices and methodologies? Then, this in an opportunity for you.

We are looking for a Head of Project Finance to lead our project finance team and support the full integration of COWI’s and Arkitema’s financial systems. You will report to the CFO of Arkitema, Casper Rahder, and lead a team of project controllers. You will be a key player in the organisation and collaborate closely with our CFO, project managers, stakeholders, and other team members across Arkitema’s offices in Scandinavia.

Your skills. Our projects. Together we develop the best architectural framework for people.

You will be responsible for managing and overseeing the project finance operations for all our architectural projects. This includes managing the project budget, schedule, quality control, and risk management. Moreover, you will be accountable for coordinating with the project team to ensure that all deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest level of quality.

Your key responsibilities will be:

• Develop and implement effective project finance strategies that support the overall business objectives,

Set direction for your team. Create a collaborative environment and develop beautiful solutions.

Like us, you believe that leadership success comes from setting a clear and meaningful direction for your team and supporting them in taking ownership of their work. You always delegate responsibility and ensure an open and safe dialogue, and you coach your people to achieve their aspirations through constructive, fact-based feedback. Attracting and nurturing a diverse group of high-potential team members is at the top of your agenda, as is creating an inclusive, caring and trusting culture in your team.

On top of that, you will have:
