Do you love creating the setting for other people's big days? Do you get energy from making the first call, following up, and watching an idea turn into a full house? Then this is the job for you.

We're looking for a sales manager for our private functions and events business. You'll take ownership of private functions – weddings, milestone birthdays, confirmations, anniversaries and memorial gatherings – as well as our julefrokost (Christmas lunch) season, when both private and corporate guests fill the buildings.

You'll be the first person customers meet, and the one who makes sure everything has been thought through by the time they arrive.

About the place

Anneberg Kulturpark is a listed complex from 1915 in Odsherred – an hour from Copenhagen. Our setting is one most people can only dream of: historic halls, room for up to 500 guests, a theatre hall, our own church, a guest house with rooms, and nature, the Isefjord and a thriving artist community all around us.

Food and drink are provided by our own venues: Anneberg Spisehus, our Danish bistro, and Restaurant MOTA, Michelin-recognised and led by Claus Henriksen.

Functions and events are one of the areas where we see the greatest potential – and you'll play the leading role in unfolding it.
