Polymath Project Manager

Salary Competitive

Group NAO is looking for a polymath project manager to guide and execute our projects, and to be part of inspiring the next steps of Group NAOs future trajectory.


We are an agency of creative strategists and strategic analysts with particular focus on the experience economy – often working with clients in travel, tourism, retail, culture, and community development. More importantly, we are a team of people who appreciates curious exploration and challenge. We are at our best, when setting new agendas towards more sustainable and meaningful futures with our clients. We like it when there is no set solution or template already in place and when working with people, who care enough about their work to ask curious questions and seek out multiple answers.


We are looking for someone versatile with a strong skillset in project management, a passion for certain areas, but also someone easily ignited and motivated to dive into new areas, methodologies, and tools.

 Above all, we are looking for someone, who:

• Is strong in project planning and management, both internally and towards clients

• Appreciates the importance of communicating professionally and respectfully with anyone and everyone

• Doesn’t know it all, but is open and eager to learn new ways of doing

• Knows (or has googled) what polymath means and enjoys the notion

• Has an analytical mind and can carry out basic data collection and analysis

• Flexible in supporting the team on a wide variety of administrative tasks

• Is explorative, independent, and curious in diving in and finding new solutions, and brave enough to know when to ask for help.

Our current projects range from destination strategy development, uncovering and modelling participatory designs in tourism, sustainable innovation, prospecting a new museum, conference curation, data analysis and visualization, mapping market potential, art in urban development and much more…

 

You will be responsible for:

• Managing a project portfolio of diverse strategy, research, and communication projects

• Performing research and data collection across different ongoing projects and new development projects.

• Taking responsibility to ensure timelines and quality of work

• Communication both internally and externally with stakeholders, clients, and partners

• Contributing to and leading workshops, webinars, focus groups etc.

• Producing reports, presentations, articles etc.

• Developing new business proposals and partnerships


We take pride in everyone contributing with their distinct and unique skills – and we want to help you put those into play!

As a minimum, we expect you to have a master’s degree in a relevant field, as well as 2-3 years of experience, incl. experience in project management. You don’t care if a project is carried out in English or Danish, as you are fluent or near fluent (spoken and written) in both. We consider any additional languages a bonus.

In short, we are at an exciting time for NAO with new projects across Denmark, Europe, and North America. You will be part of our journey and at the same time, you will also have opportunity to shape our future trajectory and growth.

Group NAO is committed to celebrating a playful and diverse world – and we encourage all people regardless of age, gender, identity, orientation, race, or origin to apply.

This is a full-time position with a 12-month contract to start. Salary based on applicant. Starting date as soon as possible. We hope to start interviewing in mid-August and will be reviewing applications as we receive them. So, better to apply sooner rather than later.
