Placed in Copenhagen and reporting to the Head of Corporate Sustainability, you will be part of a small central sustainability team with broad outreach across the global organisation.

We offer an exciting and attractive career in an ambitious environment with the possibility of continuous professional and personal development. The environment is international and dynamic with focus on high performance and achieving results through teamwork.

As a performance-oriented company, we strive to always recruit the best person for the job – regardless of gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation or religious beliefs.

We are proud of our diversity and see it as a genuine source of strength.

Key responsibilities

There is strong momentum on the sustainability and ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) agenda among our customers, investors and other key stakeholders. Responsible business practices is the foundation for our value proposition to customers and capital markets, and it will be your role as senior advisor to advise leaders and colleagues on social sustainability trends and topics shaping new regulation, standards and stakeholder expectations, to guide and inform Maersk’s response.

You will particularly be responsible for:

• Advice on social responsibility and sustainability standards across the end-to-end logistics supply chain
• Human rights and responsible business analysis and advice for due diligence, risk assessment and issues management
• Research on social impact related to trade and sustainability for thought leadership and strategy development
• External stakeholder engagement and partnerships
• Contributing to external reporting (Sustainability Report, Modern Slavery)

We are looking for

The ideal candidate is a business-oriented sustainability professional with a Master’s degree in a relevant field and min. 5 years’ experience.

You have a solid understanding of human rights and social sustainability issues as they relate to global business and proven experience working in or advising corporates on managing and communicating responsible business and social impact.

You are skilled at assessing and translating social sustainability trends and issues into relevant and tangible recommendations and actions for our business colleagues.

You have a strong drive and a structured approach to your work, communicate clearly, and are able to build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders. Not least, you are a team player with a sense of humour.

Your written and spoken English is impeccable. Knowledge of Danish and/or additional languages would be an advantage, but not a requirement.
