LD Pensions manages assets of DKK 46 billion on behalf of 1 million members in the two funds, The Holiday Allowance Fund and The Cost-of-Living Allowance Fund. Our focus is on creating value for our members by ensuring high returns with a reassuring level of security, delivering a positive member experience and demonstrating social responsibility. A large proportion of our operational tasks are outsourced to professional Partners. Our own organisation therefore consists primarily of specialists with considerable experience.

As Business Manager, you will lead a team of five staff members working on tasks relating to communications, membership and secretarial duties. You will be directly involved in carrying out these tasks, particularly in cross-functional areas. You will become part of LD Pensions' management team, where, together with the Director and the two other department heads, you will contribute to sound corporate governance and the implementation of LD Pensions' strategy. In addition, you will have a wide range of external contacts with Partners, as well as engaging in dialogue with the Ministry of Employment and the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Your responsibilities:
- lead, motivate and develop the staff in your team
- ensure a positive member experience in collaboration with external Partners
- strengthen LD Pensions' public profile, including by communicating our strategy, results and responsible investment practices
- identify and implement improvement measures so that we can continue to develop in line with the requirements and expectations placed on a well-run investment fund
- support the work of the Board of Directors, both strategically and practically, in close dialogue with the Director.
What are we looking for in our new business manager?
We place great importance on you having a good understanding of how organisations work, with an eye for both the company’s overall framework and the roles, responsibilities and motivation of its staff. You are keen to, and driven by, developing both staff and your areas of responsibility.
