Executive Advisor (EA) to CEO

Want to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of leading professional services firms? Your next adventure might start here…

We’re looking for an Executive Advisor (EA) to support the CEO of our Danish Practice. This is a rare opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with a CEO early in your career - gaining direct insight into leadership while shaping decisions that drive the business forward.

Who you’ll work with
At the heart of this role is a deep partnership with the CEO. As the CEO’s right hand, you’ll be plugged into big conversations – helping to define strategic direction, set priorities, connect the dots, and maintain momentum across a wide range of initiatives. You’ll collaborate with senior leaders, partners, and key teams, including the Heads of People, Finance, and Markets, to ensure alignment and smooth execution.

At the same time, you’ll need the confidence to work independently. This role is for someone who thrives in both worlds - bold enough to take the lead, sharp enough to work the details, and dynamic enough to move seamlessly between solo execution and high-energy collaboration.

What you’ll do:

• Serve as the CEO’s right-hand, and sparring-partner providing support to ensure that priorities, projects, decisions, and deadlines are met.
• Prepare the CEO for lectures, board, and client meetings with briefing materials and presentations.
• Analyze data, formulate hypotheses, and develop actionable recommendations on key CEO priorities.
• Drive and/or support strategic initiatives together with senior leaders across the firm.
• Represent the CEO in select forums, tackling pressing topics and ensuring execution.
• Join leadership or board meetings as needed, tracking actions, and ensuring follow-up.
• Collaborate with the CEO’s Personal Assistant for seamless day-to-day coordination.

What you’ll bring

• A master’s degree and around 2-4 years of experience in consulting, corporate strategy, or business development.
• A robust analytical skill set and commercial understanding.
• Someone who “rolls up the sleeves” and gets things done.
• A big smile, a humble heart, and a bucketload of curiosity and drive.
• Strong PowerPoint, Excel, and presentations skills.
• Fluency in English, with Danish considered a plus.

What we offer
Being the right hand to our CEO is not easy work. You are the kind of person who thrives in a high-performance-culture - doing hard things, picking yourself up when you stumble, and having the resilience to try another way forward.

In return for your drive, determination, and curiosity, you’ll gain an unparalleled opportunity: working side by side with the CEO, shaping the company’s trajectory from the inside. You won’t just observe leadership - you’ll experience it, be mentored by it, and be challenged to rise to it. Every day, you’ll receive hands-on coaching, exposure, and the tools to accelerate your growth, developing into a leader faster than you imagined possible.
