Maersk is on an exciting journey to become the world's global integrator of container logistics and decarbonise the shipping industry. As a company, we offer a truly global environment where you will be surrounded by great talent and have the opportunity to grow and learn both as a person and as a professional. People are at the center of Maersk's strategy, and you will get the opportunity to play a role in Maersk's transformation.

You will be part of the Professional Services team in Asset Strategy and Strategic Partnerships. We believe in an environment that focuses on talent, skills, and interests. We are a small but highly impacting team. We care for each other, and through sparring and cross-functional strategic workstreams, we create an environment for success.

You will be part of ensuring that synergies are unlocked, procurement processes are developed and implemented, and external spending is optimized.

You will be part of a category family covering Legal, Finance and Engineering Services. You are expected to have a pragmatic mind, think strategically, and be open to execute different categories strategies. You will work in close collaboration with the Category Managers to further mature the category by developing and implementing new strategies.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Develop and maintain close relationships with internal and external stakeholders to achieve Maersk's ambitious strategies
  • Proactively owning assigned sub-categories
  • Create transparency and governance in our supplier landscape within the managed categories
  • Lead tender projects, negotiations, contracting and contract management
  • Handle day-to-day queries
  • Stay up to date about industry trends, technological advancements, and supplier capabilities
  • Be a key player in the overall strategic procurement development journey
  • Identify areas for process improvement and implement best practices

Who we are looking for

Our employees represent a wide range of educational backgrounds, work experience, and nationalities - most important to us are your personal skills. We imagine you to:

  • Be proactive and independent in your work
  • Be structured and self-driven with a strong sense of detail and interpersonal and communication skills
  • Have good relationship building and stakeholder management skills
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, fast-changing, and dynamic environment and be a true team player
  • Be able to operate on strategic, tactical, and operational levels - be a fast learner and enjoy being challenged in new areas and categories.

The ideal candidate has:

  • Experience in Procurement, Supply Chain Management, and ideally have experience in Services Procurement in a larger organization.
  • Some experience in contract management, negotiating contracts, managing supplier relationships, and overseeing procurement processes.
  • Interest in learning how to develop and execute global category strategies.
  • Strategic and commercial mindset
  • Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and work with people from diverse backgrounds.
