OUR ROLE

Vita Brands is part of Fiskars Group, and owns curated portfolio of design-led brands united by craftsmanship, material mastery, and enduring desirability.

Our portfolio spans three distinct Brand Houses with a total of 12 brands:

• House of Danish Design Icons – Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen

The role plays a central part in enabling disciplined execution of our Value Creation Initiatives (VCIs), Long-Term Plan (LTP) and Annual Business Plan (BP), ensuring alignment between strategy, performance and execution across our Brand Houses, Markets and Functions. You will partner closely with the CEO, COO, CFO, CHRO, Finance leadership, Brand House leaders and Market leadership teams to help translate strategic priorities into measurable business outcomes.

This hybrid role is based in our Flintholm office in Frederiksberg, Denmark.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a commercially minded business professional who combines strategic thinking with strong execution capabilities. You are comfortable operating across functions, building relationships with senior stakeholders and helping leaders translate strategy into action.
