• Have advanced written and verbal English language skills
• Have good communication skills both written and verbally and are able to transform abstract and complicated information into a pragmatic and easily communicative level

Your opportunities

You will be part of an international company where commitment and mutual respect are among our core values. Teamwork and commitment are essential to the way we work. We believe in empowering people, and we support this through delegating responsibility and investing in people who want to make a difference. We work as one team to achieve our targets, and we need your good spirit and commitment to meet our goals.

At VELUX, we have committed to reduce our emissions in line with the most ambitious pathway of the Paris agreement and to go beyond our value chain to capture the equivalent of our historical emissions. We will achieve a 100% reduction in our operational emissions, halve our value chain emissions and capture the equivalent of our historical footprint from operations. To capture our historical emissions, we have partnered with WWF, and VELUX finances forest protection and restoration projects that capture the equivalent of our historical emissions from operations since 1941 and up until 2041

This is your chance to join a newly established team with a clear agenda to transform how we develop the VELUX products of the future.
