Senior Platform Product Owner – Shared Services, E-commerce Logistics

Opportunity

Opportunity

Join E-commerce Logistics, one of the newest teams at Maersk, aimed at solving how brands handle e-commerce logistics from factory to sofa. As the Senior Platform Product Owner, you will be in charge of orchestrating the work on shared services supporting the customer-facing products (E-Delivery and E-fulfilment) as a player-coach contributing individually and leading a team of product owners.

We offer

At Maersk, we are committed to an industry-defining digital transformation that will revolutionize trade. This is achance to have a major impact on the world economy, but also, on your career. With major personal responsibility, you will explore how technology supports and advances the transport and logistics business and build your skills as a product leader as well as business acumen.

Maersk is organized in platforms and E-commerce Logistics is a newly started platform on the foundation of three acquisitions in 2021. The platform is in its infancy, which means you’ll be able to contribute not just to product development, but also to the platform team and its ways of working overall. The role is senior – job level 5 of 9 in total – and it is expected that you can handle an engineering team and your own area, as well as managing a small team of product owners. You should expect and welcome the content of this role to change as you successfully ship products and move on to new ones.

This role is inherently cross-functional, and you will work closely, not just with engineering and UX, but also business development and a variety of other product teams within Maersk to deliver on our value proposition. A large part of the role will be stakeholder alignment and management and if you aren’t already familiar with the operational planning processes first shared by Amazon, you will get to know those intimately.

A successful candidate will be highly analytical, able to work effectively in a matrix organization, and adept at synthesizing a variety of technologies, business models and capabilities into high quality, simple products that deliver what they promise.
