Sustainability Manager - shape our green transformation within air & sea

Job Req Number: 67782
Time Type: Full Time

Can you help us find innovative solutions for decarbonising the supply chain industry and reducing our CO2 emissions significantly – by sea and by air?

Come join DSV and contribute to building a greener future with like-minded colleagues. Take this chance to spur and excite others to follow your lead – and to do things differently.

“DSV has a heavy focus on the sustainability agenda, and we are driven by leaving the planet in a better state for our future generations. It really makes me feel energised and committed to this important work we are doing,” says Senior Sustainability Manager Merry Haarder.

Join the Group Operational Sustainability team

Joining our Group Operational Sustainability department at our HQ in Hedehusene, you will become part of our new sustainability team. Here, you will join 8 colleagues who all work towards the same goal: to reduce our CO2 emissions and make our transport and logistics solutions greener.

“As a team, we have a helpful attitude towards one another – and you’ll always find a colleague who has time to exchange ideas. So, if you want to make a difference, come join us,” says Merry.

Reducing our carbon footprint is a licence to operate. That is why we need to work with new technologies and explore alternative solutions on how we can change our operations to be greener. And this is where you enter the picture.

Help us create green transport solutions

As our new sustainability manager, you will represent our Air & Sea division across our global offices and towards our 3rd party suppliers. As we are asset-light, we collaborate closely with external shipping lines and carriers to ensure that we deliver on our carbon targets and reduce CO2 emissions.

You will be a crucial sounding board across departments – and especially to the teams within innovation, operational sustainability and group sustainability.

More specifically, you will:

• Lead Air & Sea to reduce its carbon footprint by building strategic partnerships with carriers and building high-level road maps
• Provide leadership and direction for developing and implementing the execution plan internally across global Air & Sea offices
• Maintain an up-to-date view of the movements in the industry, especially around green technology and progress
• Track and report status on initiatives supporting the decarbonisation strategy and road map for Air & Sea
• Support the internal sustainability network in DSV across our Air & Sea division to progress with various initiatives on the decarbonisation road map
• Drive POC and projects that form part of the sustainability road map

“You might look into initiatives such as sustainable fuels, electrical airplanes or vessels, or maybe we need to change a trade route. All in all, solutions that will pave the way for a greener future,” says Merry.

You are entrepreneurial and have a green heart

With your open, entrepreneurial and curious personality, you can interact and communicate with people on all professional levels and from different cultures. You are comfortable presenting to the management group, educating colleagues on sustainability and establishing a strong relationship with our 3rd party suppliers.

Moreover, we imagine that you have:

• Advanced skills in stakeholder management and collaboration
• Solid experience working within the maritime and aviation transportation sector
• A keen interest in, or preferably experience within, driving green transitions and service transformations
• A proven track record in driving organisational and cultural changes
• Project management expertise, with a relevant project management certification (such as PRINCE2 or Agile)
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, allowing you to structure clear and impactful storylines supported with quantitative analysis for executive audiences
