Job Description

At Maersk, we have a vision larger than the ocean: to be a true integrator of container logistics connecting and simplifying our customers’ supply chain. We count on our people to make it happen.

Besides focusing on creating value for our customers and the business, a key priority for us is to drive personal and professional development for our people to prepare for further career progression.

We value the diversity of our talent and will always strive to recruit the best person for the job.

We are now looking for our new Regional Head Europe- People Operations to join our Global Operations Team (GOT) - People Advisory Services

As a Regional Head Europe- People Operations, you will hold regional responsibility for delivering professional, high-quality and integrated HR support across diverse employee groups and cultures. You will lead the regional People Advisory Services team, strengthen employee experience, translate the global HR service delivery model into effective regional execution, and drive continuous improvement through strong stakeholder partnership, disciplined service management and capability building.

What We Offer

We offer you an exciting global career at the forefront of world trade. And thanks to our global scale, you will be well-positioned to explore opportunities at Maersk around the world. The many other highlights include the most modern talent development initiatives and competitive benefits. We are proud of our people who define our company’s industry leadership, global team culture and customer-centric focus every day.

Key Responsibilities

  • Consistently drive and deliver high-quality, integrated HR services across the region to strengthen employee experience.
  • Provide leadership to the regional People Advisory Services team, creating an environment where colleagues are engaged, proud of their work and connected to a clear sense of purpose.
  • Ensure implementation and ongoing effectiveness of the regional People Advisory Services structure in line with agreed timelines and resource plans.
  • Translate the global HR service delivery model into a regional, brand-agnostic implementation and resource plan.
  • Review the impact of changes in global processes and new Centre of Expertise initiatives, and implement required regional changes in close collaboration with relevant delivery leaders.
  • Build strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to drive aligned employee experience and continuous improvement.
  • Promote best-practice sharing and contribute to the development of service performance measures with global peers.
  • Continually review regional service delivery processes, capabilities and resource levels in line with business demand, operating-model maturity and technology adoption.

We’re looking for

  • 12-15 years of experience creating and delivering a range of high-quality business services, preferably including HR services.
  • HR generalist background in a large international organisation, including HR operations experience; shared-services experience is a strong advantage.
  • Demonstrated leadership capability with a strong focus on team engagement, capability building and change.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills and executive presence with business leaders and senior stakeholders.
  • Strong employee-experience and customer-service orientation.
  • Process and continuous-improvement mindset, with a focus on high-quality and efficient service delivery.
