• Design agendas, content and structures for leadership alignment, strategic off‑sites and cross‑functional workshops.
• Prepare context, pre‑reads and action items for high‑stakes meetings, with limited travel required.

Required profile

• ~3 years of experience in IT management consulting, corporate tech strategy or a similar advisory role.
• Strong conceptual understanding of digital fundamentals and ability to engage in deep technical discussions.
• Interdisciplinary degree bridging business and IT (e.g., Cand.it, MSc from ITU, CBS, DTU or equivalent).
• Full professional fluency in written and spoken English.

• Competitive salary, employee stock ownership program, success sharing and health insurance.
• On‑site gym, wellbeing platform, subsidised canteen, massage scheme and additional care days.
• Extensive learning and development opportunities including Airbus Leadership University, e‑learning, mentoring and international experience.
