This is your opportunity to step into a high-visibility role where you will influence strategic decisions and drive performance across a global organization operating in 130 countries with over 100,000 employees.

At Maersk, we are on a transformation journey, and Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) is at the heart of it - acting as a trusted partner to CFO and executive leadership. You will join a bright and diverse team based in Copenhagen, collaborating with colleagues around the globe.

About the Role

As a Senior FP&A Analyst, you will play a key role in shaping our SG&A performance management, financial planning and governance agenda. You will operate confidently across senior leadership forums and cross‑functional teams, combining strong analytical depth with a clear strategic perspective.

This role offers end‑to‑end ownership, significant stakeholder exposure, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact on SG&A performance across the organisation.

• Driving deep‑dive analyses to identify key trends, risks, and opportunities providing recommendations that optimize performance
• Leading and contributing to cross functional projects related to performance management, cost transparency, and process improvements
