Job description

Anna and Clara invite you into a sensual world of classical music, aesthetics, and comfort. The story of Søstrene Grene began in 1973 in Aarhus, Denmark, centred around the two Grene sisters and their philosophy of bringing small moments of joy into everyday life.

Today, Søstrene Grene has more than 400 stores across 17 European countries and continues to grow, bringing the wonderful world of Anna and Clara to more and more customers.

As a family business, we place great importance on ethical behaviour towards employees, customers, society, and the environment.
