What a good first year looks like

After your first year, we would expect that:

Recruitment has a clear owner.Hiring managers know where to go for advice and support, and there is a consistent professional standard across the organisation.

Processes are stronger and more consistent.Roles are well defined, assessments are structured, and recruitment decisions are properly documented.

Hiringprocesses keeps moving.Managers receive relevant, well-screened candidate fields, and processes keep momentum on the factors within your control.

We rely less on who happens to apply.Direct sourcing is used actively where needed, and external search partners are brought in selectively and managed closely.

Whatwe’relooking for

This role needs someone who is comfortable owning recruitment rather than simply coordinating it.

You will need to bring:

• Solid experience independently managing end-to-end recruitment
• strong direct-sourcing experience, including outreach to passive candidates
• experience recruiting into a professional, knowledge-intensive environment
• confidence advising senior and demanding hiring managers
• the ability to keep recruitment processes moving and hold people to agreed timelines
• experience screening and interviewing candidates, with good judgement about assessment quality
• strong structure,follow-throughand attention to the documentation behind hiring decisions
• professional fluencyin Danishand English

It would be useful, but is not essential, if you also have experience with one or more of the following:

• recruiting investment or financial-services professionals
• executive search or other senior professional recruitment
• briefing and managing external search or recruitment partners
• using recruitment data and metrics to improve processes
• internationalrecruitment

Wheretherolesits

This is a Lead role with no direct reports.You will have full ownership of the recruitment lifecycle,meaning you should be comfortable balancing high-level strategy and manager coaching with hands‑on execution, including the day‑to‑day administrative and coordination tasks, candidatecareand operational execution.

You will be the main point of contact for recruitment across Impact Fund Denmark and the personresponsible for how recruitment is run and for its quality.

Hiring managersremainaccountable for who they hire. You bring the candidate market knowledge, recruitmentexpertiseand process that help them make those decisions well.

That means being willing to challenge a brief when necessary, being realistic about the market,keeping a process moving when other priorities compete for attention, and making sure candidate experience does not become an afterthought.

For specialist searches, or during periods of particularly high hiring activity, you will also work withHRBP colleagues andexternal search partners.For periods oflowactivityyou will build adjacent HR capabilities and parttake in leadershipdevelopment,....

Why join Impact Fund Denmark?

You will have the opportunity to shape how recruitment is done across the organisation rather than inherit a narrowly defined part of the process.

You will work closely with the Head of People & Culture and with senior leaders across the organisation, including our investment teams.

The role is unusually broad for an internal recruitment position. One search may be for an investment professional with a highly specialised background; the next may be for a corporate or functional expert.

And the work connects directly to Impact Fund Denmark's purpose. Every person you help bring into the organisation contributes, in some way, to investments in green energy and infrastructure, financial services, sustainable food systems and healthcare in developing countries.
