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

Maersk is a global leader in integrated logistics and a pioneer in the industry for over a century. We continuously push the boundaries of innovation, transformation, and excellence in efficiency, sustainability, and customer experience.

Our company thrives on diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning. We strive to ensure that our organization reflects and understands our customers, providing tailored solutions to meet their evolving needs.

With a global presence in 130 countries and over 100,000 employees, we work together to shape the future of global trade and logistics. We harness cutting-edge technologies to unlock opportunities on a global scale and achieve a more sustainable future.

About the Role

Maersk Energy Markets serves as the sourcing arm for Maersk in terms of supply, storage, purchase, and delivery of fuel and energy. In 2023, the department handled approximately 11 million metric tons of fuel purchases, 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.

As a team of talented professionals, traders, and industry experts, we work together to reach Maersk's net-zero target by 2040. The newly created Sustainability Operations team will lead the way in regulatory requirements, protecting and supporting the ISCC chain of custody.

Working closely with stakeholders across the business, including Trading, Origination, Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Market Analytics, you will be responsible for guiding teams in other regions and coordinating cross-functionally to ensure the end-to-end sustainability process remains robust. Your expertise will be essential in supporting the annual ISCC audits and defending the end-to-end mass balance operation for Europe.

Your Key Responsibilities

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