​

You can be a pivotal part of this amazing journey! They are looking for a Senior Decarbonisation Manager for their air freight business to join their Logistics and Services Decarbonisation Team. This position can be based in either Copenhagen or Rotterdam.

​

You will join a growing and diverse team where they support each other, and each plays their part. The team are motivated, innovative, curious, and driven by the cause to decarbonise. This is a new role, and you can tailor it around your strengths and those of your cross-functional team members.

​

More about the role:

As a Senior Decarbonisation Manager for the Air Freight Business, you will join the Logistics and Services Decarbonisation team and work closely with the Air Freight (freight forwarding and an internal aircraft fleet) and Fuel Sourcing teams. You will be responsible for the overall air decarbonisation strategy and sustainable air fuel sourcing, in particular, leading the cross-functional development and execution while providing subject matter expertise and driving innovation to decarbonise air freight. You'll be the pivotal point in driving decarbonisation in a growing yet highly emission-intensive business, helping to decarbonise in a cost-effective and speedy way.

  • Prepare and present management reports and drive decision making

  • Represent Maersk's Air decarbonisation activities with stakeholders and in external conferences

​

You'll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in air transport, aviation fuel sourcing or development, management consulting or related industries

  • Have a background or developed expertise in decarbonisation and/or sustainable fuels - a strong record in fuels sourcing or investment deals is definitely a plus!
