As part of the Event & Tourism team, you’ll take part in a wide variety of projects and assignments involving collaboration, coordination, project development, and communication.
Depending on the tasks, you may work closely with many of the city’s stakeholders – such as local attractions, cultural institutions, professional networks, Destination Fyn, Visit Denmark, and more. You’ll also collaborate with colleagues across other municipal departments.
Examples of tasks:
- Supporting and contributing to ongoing projects within Event & Tourism’s portfolio

About you:
We imagine you’re passionate about tourism and/or events and eager to grow your skills in this field. You’re ready to take on tasks independently but know when to seek help and collaborate. Your workdays will be varied, and you’ll thrive if you embrace challenges and handle both planned and unexpected tasks.
Ideally, you’re a student in tourism or event management, or studying political science, international business, humanities, or similar. You’re a great fit if you have a structured approach, an eye for detail, and a flair for written communication.
Most importantly, you’re motivated by making a difference for Odense and its visitors, and you’re curious and driven.
