We are committed to decarbonise our business by 2040. Do you have the passion, curiosity, and knowledge to become a pivotal part of our journey?

Climate action is a strategic imperative for Maersk and we are stepping up our efforts to reduce the climate impact of our logistics services.

Working in our Decarbonisation team means you are working on something pretty exciting: shaping Maersk’s journey to reduce climate impact of our logistics services, driving momentum in the market and across the organisation, and pushing the boundaries by engaging with exciting innovations.

You will join a growing and diverse team, where we support each other and play each our part. We come from different backgrounds, value diversity and share the same passion to transform the industry and our business. We are motivated, innovative, curious, and driven by our cause to decarbonise; we work hard and have fun. You will need drive and initiative and we are hoping you will bring along curiosity, honesty, and a collaborative leadership mindset. This is a new role, and you have the option to tailor it around your strengths and those of your cross-functional team members.

We are very excited to hear from you!
