We are NORDEN, and we are looking for an outgoing and service-minded Receptionist to our front desk, providing a welcoming first impression with professionalism and clear communication.
Become a member of our team in Copenhagen and contribute to a supportive group of three colleagues where your interpersonal abilities are highly valued.
Most of your work will be centered around the front desk — greeting visitors from around the world, assisting colleagues, coordinating practicalities and making sure everything runs seamlessly in the office.
What is in it for you
As a member of the Internal Services team at NORDEN, you will be instrumental in delivering high-quality service and promoting a seamless daily experience for everyone involved.
Are you adept at presenting a friendly face and encouraging cooperation? Creating a welcoming atmosphere is a key aspect of this position.
You will be the first point of contact for approximately 300 employees and countless guests, creating positive first impressions and supporting a professional, international environment that thrives on people and connections.
We keep it friendly, collaborative and people-focused — a place where service truly matters and where you will grow while making every day run better.
The tasks that await you
Your work will help shape the daily experience at NORDEN — from creating warm welcomes to keeping the office running smoothly. Making sure every detail adds up to great service.
What you will be doing:
-
Greet visitors, check them in and offer refreshments while ensuring security procedures are followed.
-
Handle incoming phone calls with a high level of professionalism and attention.
-
Keep the reception area tidy, welcoming and ready to impress.

-
Event planning and coordinating.
What you bring
You thrive on creating a welcoming atmosphere and bringing structure to a busy, international environment. With a friendly and attentive mindset, you handle both the small details and unexpected situations with ease.
Clear communication comes naturally to you — whether face-to-face, on the phone or in writing.
Further, we are looking for a colleague who already is:
-
Already living in Denmark.
-
Holding a minimum of 2 years of experience from a similar position.
-
Service-minded, outgoing and comfortable interacting with new people every day.
