Job Description
Are you ready to set direction for badminton development in Denmark? Do you have your finger on the pulse compared to the badminton environment – from the hall to the strategy room? Then it may be you we are looking for as a sports manager in DGI Badminton.
DGI is much more than a workplace – we believe in the joy of sports and in the strength of the community, where we help children succeed, adults to be healthy and the associations to flourish.

Your role is to lead the team’s work professionally, secure prioritization and progress – and create a clear link between the needs of the badminton environment and our overall direction. You become a key person in collaboration with Badminton Denmark and in the development of training offers, club development and communities for all age groups – in our 1200 member clubs.
At the same time, you will have a key role in our badminton team at national level, where you – without staff responsibility – coordinate and prioritize tasks in close dialogue with the team and ensure the necessary overview of everyday life.

We are looking for a person who can view both the broad perspective of badminton in Denmark – and cooperate closely with Badminton Denmark and other key players.
