Job Description
Imagine working at a company whose ultimate mission is to send people on the adventure of a lifetime! If combining your accounting expertise with an interest in the travel industry excites you, then keep reading.
Our headquarters are in Copenhagen, but we operate globally with modern vessels dedicated to polar expeditions in Arctic and Antarctica. We specialize in unique and educational journeys where sustainability, authenticity, and quality are always at the forefront.
We are committed to advancing green expedition tourism, for example, by eliminating single-use plastics, using biodegradable materials, and collaborating closely with local communities in destinations such as Greenland.
Following a recent acquisition and name change from Albatros Expeditions to Polar Latitudes, we are merging with partners in the USA and Australia, supported by an ambitious growth plan aimed at making us the preferred choice for both customers and partners. You should therefore be comfortable navigating change.

That said, don't hold back if you can see yourself thriving in this role and if our mission speaks to the globetrotter in you.
At Albatros Expeditions, you'll become part of a close-knit team where there's a short path from idea to action. We've retained some of the speed and flexibility from our startup years but are now in the middle of an exciting transition, building more structure and scalable solutions – without losing the fun and informal atmosphere of everyday life.
You'll hold a key role with significant responsibility and close collaboration with leadership in an ambitious, sustainability-focused company – where your efforts will truly make a difference, and where you can leave your own mark.
