Opportunity

Sr UX Designer – E-commerce and Self Service
Job Location : Europe (Denmark or UK)

Who we are

Maersk is well established as the world’s largest operator of container shipping and marine container terminals, with over 80,000 employees and operating in 130 countries worldwide.

We are rapidly transforming ourselves into the world’s leading global integrator of container logistics by building on our traditional strengths and creating synergies and simplifying global supply chains for our customers across ocean, terminals and logistics & services.

Technology and data are critical enablers of this digital transformation, as we seek to digitally enable and connect our physical supply chain assets in our terminals, our vessel fleet and inland logistics services through an ambitious agenda of standardisation, automation and IoT enablement.

In support of this strategy, we have recently restructured our global technology organisation to be based around a joint business and technology platform operating model, which embeds innovative, agile, digital and data product engineering at the heart of our business.

APM Terminals

The Maersk group operates one of the most comprehensive marine container terminals networks in the world, under the brand of APM Terminals, with over 20,000 employees operating 76 terminals in 36 countries and growing.

APM Terminals (APMT) plays a critical role in enabling the global Maersk Ocean and Logistics network as well as serving other Shipping Lines, Beneficial Cargo Owners, Freight Forwarders, intermodal logistics providers and integrating with a wide variety of local port authorities, customs and government bodies across our global network of transhipment, import and export gateway terminals.

In support of the broader Maersk strategy, we are accelerating the transformation of our business from a portfolio of independently operated terminals, into a safer, better, bigger global terminals operator.

This transformation is enabled by an ambitious programme to modernise our technology landscape, digitise our operations and our customers’ experience and optimise our end-to-end operations and customers’ journeys through automation, digitised assets and data analytics.

In support of this strategy, we are implementing a new technology organisation across APMT that will accelerate this journey by strengthening our internal engineering and data analytics capabilities and further embed an agile DevSecOPS operating model at scale.

APMT - Customer Products & Services Platform Portfolio

As part of this new technology organisation a new global Customer Products & Services platform portfolio team has been created with a variety of roles being recruited across architecture, design, full stack DevSecOPS engineering and agile delivery at scale.

The Customer Products & Services platform portfolio team has end-to-end accountability for all data and technology enabled customer outcomes and enabling commercial capabilities across the APM Terminals business.

This directly supports APM Terminals ambitious growth strategy built on a customer-centric focus which will deliver industry leading customer care, commercial excellence and added-value products & services that help our customers optimize their own supply chains.

This is enabled by an integrated portfolio of platforms and products across digital customer channels, gate solutions, data products & services, customer self-service, sales, marketing, customer care, contract management, pricing, order to cash, customer master data management and 360 view of customer analytics.
