Opportunity

Maersk is on a journey to deliver an unprecedented transformation in our businesses. We are rethinking the way we engage with our customers and partners, to become a true integrator of container logistics, connecting and simplifying our customers’ supply chain through global end-to-end solutions.

To drive this transformation and strengthen our business capabilities, Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) are key. M&A Enterprise Architecture works closely with all other Maersk units involved in Mergers & Acquisitions. We are engaged from the early understanding of the technology landscape and organisation of potential acquisitions, until the final integration of acquired companies. Our ambition is to ensure each acquisition is in line with the Maersk strategy, enables harvesting synergies and leaves a technology landscape that is long-term sustainable.

As Lead Enterprise Architect in the M&A Enterprise Architecture team, you will lead the EA partnering across technology portfolios in all M&A phases. You will evaluate the strategic fit of M&A targets during initial due diligence assessment and eventually drive the proper integration of an acquired company’s technology landscape and organisation into Maersk to ensure two independent companies become one strong team.
