Opportunity

Technology enables the ambitious goals of Maersk to integrate the world and improve life for all. The Service Delivery portfolio powers the global operations that optimise our network of physical assets across the digital journeys that serve our customers. You’ll lead a team focused on building the tools that power world-wide operations and digital customer journeys; from container load/discharge, berth planning and responding to internal and external flow disruption all against a backdrop of prioritisation, cost efficiency, and sustainability/decarbonisation.

The role of the Director of Engineering – Network Execution

The Service Delivery Platform Portfolio delivers the solutions that connect our physical assets with digital journeys across our global network and is critical to Maersk’s ability to deliver on our customer promises.

This platform powers the execution activities across our operations around the world for ocean based logistics. It is not enough to move cargo through our network; this platform must enable that as well as optimizing for delivery promises, cost efficiency, terminal productivity and decarbonization initiatives.

This includes everything from terminal planning and integration to automated cargo execution to handling of disruptions. The current focus is on ocean-based logistics but integrator-level, multi-modal solutions are on the horizon. The exception handling capabilities must deliver the ability to handle complex situations resulting from schedule delays, port congestion or closure or any one of many other external factors resulting in disruption to forward flow plans. Real-time feedback loops to network optimization and routing as well as capacity management provide automated prioritization and decisioning as well as dynamic inputs to network design and planning features.

You’ll lead teams building scalable, high performance, resilient cloud-native applications using best-in-class technology and data science methodology. The products in this platform are critical components in multiple key journeys such as network design, contracting, booking, and delivering customer promises.

Expect to:

• Work with product and business partners to develop a strategic roadmap for your platform products. Lead the efforts to translate strategy into a tech-enabled automation roadmap.
• Bring an engineering mindset to achieving business outcomes and objectives.
• Create an organization that embraces innovation, a devSecOps culture, and engineering excellence.
• Hire and develop high quality engineering leaders while strengthening morale and cohesion across the teams.
