Consultant at Copenhagen Optimization (Cambridge, MA)

Consultant Position at Copenhagen Optimization Copenhagen Optimization is a Danish company with a distinctly Scandinavian approach to work, built around trust, autonomy, collaboration and personal responsibility. We help some of the world's busiest airports work smarter. Combining deep aviation expertise, data and our proprietary software platform, Better Airport, we help airports make better decisions, optimize their operations and improve the passenger journey. Our teams in Copenhagen and Cambridge, Massachusetts work closely together to support a rapidly growing network of airport clients across North America. As a Consultant, you'll be part of a small, collaborative team with real responsibility from the start. You'll help implement Better Airport from discovery and data analysis through configuration, deployment, training and post-go-live support—working directly with airport stakeholders and alongside our consultancy, product and technical teams and technology partners. But software is only part of what we do. Our clients rely on us as trusted partners and advisors. We get to know their operations, ask the right questions, challenge established ways of working when there's a better approach, and help turn complex data into practical decisions and lasting improvements.
