Inspiring work environment
You will join a group of graduates at Danish Crown and you will support, help, guide and challenge each other. You are not alone – you will be supported in achieving professional and personal development from your line manager and dedicated mentor. We will also match you with a buddy, who will be a friendly face to help and guide you in everyday challenges. Your placements will involve daily, structured work, and strategic projects that you will work on in teams and independently. We have a very open, informal and involving team spirit in Danish Crown, where we are constantly inspiring and empowering each other to reach our full potential.
Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles are our roadmap that help guide leaders in their everyday behaviours and decision making. Our Leadership Principles call on Danish Crown’s core strengths and remind us to stay focused on the right targets. They help us build a more professional leadership culture and reach our short and long-term goals. In Danish Crown we have five Leadership Principles which are Dedicated to Results, Be an Ambassador, Together with Consumers and Customers, We are One Team & Develop and Empower People.
Who are you?
Upon graduating, you will be faced with multiple big decisions that will shape your future career. Perhaps you know exactly where that will take you, or you are open minded and ready to explore. Either way, our programme is tailored to support your future development.

We are looking for candidates who have graduated in the last two years or are about to graduate. We value any previous work experience that you might have, such as student jobs, voluntary work, internships or part-time work in any sector. You must have a bachelor’s or master’s degree – the field of study may vairy. We place importance on your ambition, drive, broad business understanding and your motivation to gain experience and influence our agenda to create a more sustainable future for food.

To join you must possess:

Our businesses create innovative foods within fresh meat, bacon, pizza toppings, snacks, sausages, ready meals and canned products. In all parts of the value chain, our focus is on food and feeding the world.
