Partner – Denmark
Help us create, lead and transform meaningful organizations.
Voluntas is created from the fundamental belief that all human beings have the inherent right to live a meaningful life. That is why we exist: To realize human potential in all corridors of life – making every workplace, community, and country on the planet full of hope and dignity.
As we continue to strengthen our business, we are now looking for a Partner to drive sales and shape projects that help our clients realize the human potential of their organizations. Rooted in humanistic capitalism, we work to grasp the core meaning of organizations to anchor it in strategy and leadership, culture, people processes, and performance management – from crafting purpose and strategic narratives to measuring and operationalizing meaningfulness, building the tools and concepts to help leaders make a meaningful impact.
Philosophers by heart and advisors by profession, we use our insights to provide evidence-based inspiration, recommendations and solutions for our partners around the world. In this role, we expect to find someone who knows how to create impact. How to actively listen and ask the right questions. How to build professional intimacy and advise executive leaders. How to move organizations. Someone who knows what the good, the bad and the ugly culture looks like. Who knows who to partner up with – and how – to make more lives more meaningful.
