København, Denmark Maersk Group - A.P. Møller Mærsk Full time

Maersk is a global leader in integrated logistics and has been an industry pioneer for over a century. Through innovation and transformation, we are redefining the boundaries of possibility, continuously setting new standards for efficiency, sustainability, and excellence.

At Maersk, we believe in the power of diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning, and we work hard to ensure that the people in our organization reflect and understand the customers we exist to serve.

With over 100,000 employees across 130 countries, we work together to shape the future of global trade and logistics.

Join us as we harness cutting-edge technologies and unlock opportunities on a global scale. Together, let's sail towards a brighter, more sustainable future with Maersk.

About the role

Maersk Energy Markets acts as the sourcing arm for Maersk in terms of supply, storage, purchase, and delivery of fuel and energy. The department handled approximately 11m metric tons of fuel purchases during 2023, including green fuels such as biofuel and methanol. With fuel being one of Maersk's main operating costs, Energy Markets focuses on optimizing it along various channels, including blending, tolling, and barging. We are a mixture of talented, passionate professionals, traders, and industry experts, all working to reach Maersk's net-zero target by 2040.

You will lead the newly created Sustainability Operations team, focusing on all regulatory requirements to protect and support the ISCC chain of custody. The team will keep a global view of sustainability operations requirements, guiding teams in other regions whilst coordinating cross-functionally to ensure the end-to-end sustainability process remains robust. You will be supporting the annual ISCC audits by defending the end-to-end mass balance operation that you will lead for Europe.

As an ISCC subject matter expert, you will work closely with stakeholders across the business, including Trading, Origination, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Market Analytics. Furthermore, you will represent Operations on the ISCC Management Review Committee. Utilizing your knowledge, you will partner closely with Trading to actively explore ways to optimize for better commercial outcomes. With green fuel regulations constantly changing, you will work closely with Market Analytics to stay informed and adjust our global ways of working where necessary. The role will continue to expand from current biofuel and methanol operations to also include new green fuels that become viable.

You will lead training efforts globally, ensuring all necessary stakeholders in Operations are equipped to work with green fuels regardless of location.

What we offer

  • An exciting leadership position based in Copenhagen.
  • The chance to join a department actively working to decarbonize shipping, ensuring Maersk reaches its net-zero target by 2040.
  • A newly formed position with the unique opportunity to shape it as you see fit as the subject matter expert.
  • A broad network of stakeholders within Maersk, all working together to solve complex and intellectually challenging problems.

Key responsibilities

Your main focus will be to lead the Sustainability Operations team. You will guide the day-to-day activities required for a smooth and continuous mass balance operation in Europe. You will work closely with the Head of Europe Operations as a peer to ensure the overall operational setup runs efficiently.

Key tasks:

  • Act as the global subject matter expert of ISCC operations, firmly supporting audits, owning mass balance operations in Europe whilst guiding teams globally.
  • Co-ordinate with physical operations on all logistical movements containing green fuels, including supporting physical trials of new sustainable products.
  • Develop a commercial focus within the Sustainability Operations, liaising specifically with the trading department as key stakeholders.
  • Lead projects to optimize green fuel subsidies & penalties, ensuring we remain cost-competitive in all locations.
  • Ensure month-end processes are maintained whilst maintaining adequate information flow to Trading and Product Control to manage pricing and exposure.
  • Oversee various testing processes to ensure necessary reports are available for verification, such as Carbon-14.
  • Co-ordinate quarterly closure of ISCC mass balance whilst managing incoming/outgoing POSs and DDCs.
  • Support IT in integrating the overall mass balance operation into our new CTRM solution.
  • Liaise closely with all internal and external stakeholders to drive current activities and anticipate future operational, commercial, and sustainability needs.
  • Support orchestrating the necessary logistical setups for green fuels such as biofuel and methanol.
  • Work closely with the Global Head of Operations Process to ensure the end-to-end Sustainability Operations process is realistic and executable.
  • Develop and maintain professional relationships with customers and suppliers, providing excellent mutual support and helping to resolve any issues that may arise.

What are we looking for

  • Tertiary Qualification in commerce, administration, or shipping & logistics.
  • Good to have more than 5 years of professional experience in a related role within the Oil & Gas operations, bunker barge operations, shipping, and servicing customers in a BtB environment.
  • Direct experience working within an ISCC framework covering green fuels with an expert understanding of ISCC audits and mass balance operations.
  • A team player with the ability to easily work cross-functionally as part of a virtual team where everyone pulls in the same direction.
  • An energetic, pro-active, commercially minded leader who is familiar with operating in a fast-paced environment and enjoys solving complex technical challenges.
  • Fluency in both written and spoken English.
