At Maersk, we are on an exciting journey to transform our Finance organization and strengthen our Reporting & Analysis Center of Excellence (COE) into a world-class engine for value creation, performance management, and strategic insight. As part of this ambition, we are elevating our process management and governance capabilities to ensure that financial reporting and analysis processes are consistent, scalable, and future-ready.

The Reporting & Analysis COE plays a central role in enabling One Finance by driving standardization, operational excellence, and high-quality global delivery of processes and support. To accelerate this journey, we are now looking for a Process Governance Manager who will define, govern, and continuously improve our end-to-end processes, empowering operational teams to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes and contributing to the ongoing transformation of the COE.

We offer:

You will join a COE that is rapidly evolving to become a leading digitized business partner for integrated, end-to-end reporting and analytics.

Through your process-focused mindset and analytical expertise, you will play a central role in shaping how our processes are designed, governed, and executed. You will define clear process scopes, identify opportunities to bundle and transition activities into the COE, and establish end-to-end process management with well-defined accountabilities. You will also help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our performance management processes through integration, standardization, and simplification, while leveraging automation and advanced analytics to unlock deeper insights.

Through leading implementation initiatives and partnering closely with Finance colleagues worldwide, you will help elevate COE processes and strengthen the COE as a trusted, fully integrated, and scalable organization that delivers real business impact.

You will join a diverse, high-performing global team with strong exposure to senior stakeholders across segments and regions, offering a steep learning curve and broad opportunities for both professional and personal growth. At Maersk, we are committed to developing our people and creating an environment where your ideas and contributions help shape the future of Finance.
