Would you like to help build a strong and modern finance function in a locally rooted company with short decision-making paths and large projects in the raw materials sector?

60° North Greenland ApS is looking for a development-oriented and structured accounting manager. You will have overall professional responsibility for the company's accounting, financial administration, payroll processes, and reporting, and work closely with our office manager on daily administrative operations.

Our core areas cover:

• Contracting work, drilling, and support for the mining sector

• Maritime operations

• Logistics and base support

We operate based on a shared value foundation focusing on responsibility, professionalism, robustness, structure, and collaboration. We know the Greenlandic conditions and take responsibility for the task all the way from the first decision to the final delivery. We start where others stop – because we take responsibility all the way.
