International Project Director – HOLMRIS B8 Hospitality
Ready to lead some of Europe's largest and most complex hospitality projects?
HOLMRIS B8 is one of Denmark's leading suppliers of furniture and interior design solutions for the professional market, with roots dating back to 1914. Organized into four business areas – Office, Learning, Care and Hospitality – the group combines its own production with a broad supplier network and has been majority-owned since March 2024 by Dutch private equity firm Mentha Capital, with a clear ambition for international growth.
HOLMRIS B8 Hospitality handles the group's largest and most complex international hospitality projects – from client dialogue and sales through execution, handover and operation, spanning interiors, Furniture Fixtures and Equipment and complex deliveries to hotel operators, developers and investors across markets. As part of the continued professionalization of the Project Management function, we are looking for an experienced International Project Director.
The Role
You will take overall leadership responsibility for Hospitality's project portfolio across markets, combining strategic oversight and the development and leadership of the local Project Managers (initially around 5-6 people) with hands-on ownership of a select number of the largest and most complex projects yourself.

Overall accountability spans: time and schedule; commercials (budget, forecast, margin, exposure); contract (obligations, notices, risk); the full change process; stakeholder governance; leadership of the local Project Managers; and enough technical understanding to credibly challenge architects, engineers and contractors.
Your Profile
A relevant background can come from project management, construction management or development, a contractor or engineering environment, interiors or furniture, fixtures and equipment. What matters is documented, hands-on experience owning large, complex projects through significant commercial and contractual complexity. Specific industry experience is not required.
We expect:
Significant experience leading large, complex projects end-to-end
Strong Contract Management experience and solid knowledge of AB18
Strong commercial/financial understanding and full change-process experience
Experience leading and developing experienced Project Managers
Professional fluency in English, written and spoken
As a person, you are calm and credible under pressure, structured without being bureaucratic, commercial and solution-oriented, and…
