Furthermore, the ability to assertively communicate and confidently decline, when necessary, demonstrates both self-assurance and effective decision-making. Our commitment to innovation also applies to the way we work. We therefore embrace the hybrid workplace – with a blend of home office in Denmark and on-site office-based work in Søborg, Denmark where our team is based. About the department
