Would you like to help drive and sharpen the commercial agenda in one of Denmark’s most exciting logistics companies?
We are seeking a Head of Commercial Operations for a Danish private equity-owned company, who can combine strong operational leadership with commercial development and deliver results together with a skilled specialist team.
You will be responsible for establishing structure, processes, and reporting during the first months - and subsequently driving development, strategy, and new initiatives in close collaboration with the Commercial Director and the company’s senior management.
The company is in rapid growth, characterized by ambitious goals, strong international presence, and a culture where commercial expertise and collaboration drive results.
The Role

Your main task during the first six months will be to create order and structure - ensuring robust reporting, clear processes, and effective controls, providing the organization with a strong foundation.
Once the fundamentals are in place, you will drive strategic and commercial development, new initiatives, and foster a culture of professionalism and forward momentum.
You will act as a key sparring partner to the Commercial Director and work closely with leaders across the organization - including Sales, IT, and Finance.
Team and Culture
You must enjoy leading a diverse group of specialists and respect the deep professional expertise on which the company is built.
The role requires a leader who can balance structure, care, and progress, and who can inspire and align the team in a fast-paced environment.
