Practical information
This is a full-time position primarily based at Collective Bakery on Nørrebrogade 176. Our headquarters on Godthåbsvej 34B in Frederiksberg will also be a regular workplace.
The role combines visible leadership in the day-to-day bakery operation with planning, meetings and office work. It is not a desk-only position.
The bakery operates seven days a week, and Production starts early in the morning. The role therefore requires some flexibility and presence outside normal office hours.
