The posting

Market Director Health and Public Institutions – Buildings & Industry

Lyngby or Aarhus, Odense or Vejle

Do you want to help shape some of Denmark's and the Nordic region's most important healthcare, education and public building projects? Can you build trusted relationships with key clients, grow business opportunities, and lead complex pursuits in a market with significant societal impact? And do you combine solid commercial acumen with deep insight into the health and public institutions sector? Then join COWI as our new Market Director for Health & Public Institutions within Buildings & Industry and apply your knowledge and curiosity to enable a better tomorrow.

Shape the future of healthcare and public buildings

To strengthen COWI’s customer-centric approach, we are looking for a Market Director to drive business development and coordinate sales efforts within Health & Public Institutions in our Buildings & Industry sector.

This is a key role in one of COWI’s strategic growth markets, covering healthcare, education, research, cultural facilities and public development projects across Denmark and the Nordics. You will help position COWI on major hospital developments, universities, public institutions, refurbishment programmes and other complex projects that contribute to the development of society.

What makes this role unique is its pure focus on market leadership, where success is defined by customer value, business growth, and a strong market presence. Working closely with specialists, project managers and technical experts, you will build relationships, identify opportunities and grow COWI’s presence in the market. You will also become part of an experienced business development community that shares best practices and drives commercial excellence across COWI.

As part of a team of 25 experienced market professionals across COWI and Arkitema, you will work at the forefront of our business development efforts. Reporting to the Senior Market Director, you will collaborate closely with colleagues across the organization to deepen client relationships, unlock strategic opportunities, and lead pursuits from early engagement through to project win, contributing directly to the continued growth of our business.

With increasing investments in healthcare, public buildings and sustainable transformation, the market offers significant growth potential. Your sector insight, commercial mindset and customer understanding will help position COWI as a preferred partner for public clients and healthcare organisations across the Nordic region.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Grow business development and growth across the Health & Public Institutions market segment by identifying, prioritizing, and converting strategic opportunities.
  • Build and maintain close relationships with key customers, partners, and decisionmakers, acting as a trusted advisor and Key Account Manager for selected clients.
  • Develop and manage a healthy sales pipeline, manage Go/No-Go decisions, and drive capture planning for major pursuits and tenders. Lead and support complex proposal processes, ensuring compelling value propositions and effective collaboration across disciplines and business units.
  • Provide direction and coordination for the Business Development team supporting the market segment, ensuring effective collaboration and delivery of market priorities.
  • Monitor market trends, upcoming investments, and customer needs to help shape market strategies and long-term growth initiatives.
  • Represent COWI externally through customer meetings, industry networks, conferences, and strategic partnerships.

Your skills. Our team. Together we design the future.

Like us, you believe that successful business development is built on trust, collaboration and long-term relationships. You are motivated by creating opportunities, understanding customer needs and bringing together the best teams to deliver value for clients and society. You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working closely with fellow Market Directors and multidisciplinary teams to achieve shared goals.

To perform well in this role, it is essential that you bring solid market insight and a well-established network within healthcare, public institutions or the built environment sector. Equally important is your ability to build internal alliances and leverage the collective expertise of the organisation rather than acting alone.

On top of that, you will have:

  • A relevant educational background such as engineering, architecture, business or a related discipline.
  • Extensive experience in business development, client management, or market leadership within healthcare, public institutions, architecture, construction, or engineering consultancy.
  • Deep knowledge of public-sector customers, procurement processes, and market dynamics, combined with a well-established professional network.
  • Demonstrated skill in building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and converting opportunities into long-term partnerships.
  • Experience contributing to large and complex tenders, proposals, and commercial negotiations.
  • Demonstrated ability to provide leadership, direction, and coordination across Business Development teams, account managers, and framework agreement holders, ensuring a shared focus on market growth and client development without formal personnel responsibility.
  • Solid communication and stakeholder management skills, with professional proficiency in both Danish and English.
