Do you want to enable our management to effectively evaluate our strategic initiatives – through a benefit realisation framework that you will create from scratch? And doing so, utilising data and creating processes to ensure that we know what ideas and benefits to reap and which to shelve?

"Where do we get the most out of our resources? And how do we define the optimal output? Those are very essential questions that we'll be able to answer with your help," says Tine Gold, Head of Enterprise Portfolio Management.

Join a brand new team still in the making

In DSV, we are establishing a strategic portfolio management office where you will join our new Enterprise Portfolio Management team.
