Job Req Number: 67070
Time Type: Full Time

Would you like to impact the way sustainability is approached in a large international organisation? Do you enjoy guiding activities involving many different teams by building comprehensive roadmaps? And are you ready to contribute to our most important agenda topic: decarbonizing the supply chain industry?

If so, join us to help your newly established team and other colleagues progress with their sustainability goals, creating roadmaps for our sustainability initiatives and building a structured plan for achieving our ambitious science-based targets.

This job offers collaboration and wide exposure across Group and divisions, where you will work to ensure adherence to our sustainability strategy and achievement of targets. Additionally, we are a very new team, and this is a new role, so you will have the opportunity to build the position and your own team, whilst working in the fascinating area of sustainability.

Welcome to Operational Sustainability

At our HQ in Hedehusene, you will become part of Group Operational Sustainability (GOS). This newly established and still growing department consists of 10 dedicated individuals with a great mix of age, expertise, experience and nationalities. Together, we work closely to drive the uptake of sustainability initiatives and reduce CO2 emissions across our organisation.

To achieve this, we drive a global GOS network and take steps to implement new initiatives. For instance, DSV Energy – which is part of GOS – ensure that new warehouses are powered entirely by on-site renewable energy, which you can read more about here.

Working closely with the business, you will become part of the GOS Management team as you take charge of our Roadmaps area in a newly established role.

Develop roadmaps and collaborate with our business

As director of Roadmaps, your main objective will be to make sure that we follow the DSV sustainability strategy and meet objectives and targets. To accomplish this, you will manage and lead a team of professionals, develop clear roadmaps for projects and initiatives and work closely with stakeholders across the DSV business.

You will thus be setting a clear direction for our sustainability efforts and be instrumental in ensuring that communication around our GOS initiatives is shared globally.

More specifically, some of your key tasks include:

• Developing, maintaining, and structuring roadmaps
• Supporting our business in achieving its goals, driving communication internally and externally in cooperation with Corporate Marketing & Communication
• Coaching, growing and developing your team, delegating tasks and areas of responsibility
• Establishing effective measurement, collection, and reporting on our GOS network initiatives

Experience with corporate sustainability strategy and initiatives

You are known for your ability to not only lead a team successfully but also for your willingness to pitch in and participate actively in team efforts. Also, your excellent interpersonal skills and your focus on delivery, quality and structure ensure that you can create a sound setting for your team to operate within.

You do not need to have in-depth knowledge of the logistics and transportation industry beforehand, but you will need to find it interesting, being motivated to acquire the knowledge to understand every aspect.

Moreover, we imagine that you have:

• Experience navigating at all levels and functions of a multinational organisation
• Solid experience managing a team
• Solid experience working with sustainability management (internal and external)
• Hands-on experience managing projects
• The ability to analyse processes and information, identify problems and trends, and develop effective solutions and strategies
• Strong presentation and communication skills in English, and excellent Excel skills
