Student Assistant, Third Party Management (Early Careers)

Note: This is mainly an anti-corruption compliance-focused third-party management process, and is not related to IT/cyber security third-party management.

As a core team within global Compliance Programme Operations, we strive to be a best-in-industry business enabler supporting strategic differentiation and safeguarding our license to operate for the long term. It is our mission to enable subject matter expert teams to operationalise compliance requirements and deliver aligned, scalable and business-friendly solutions using tools, technology and analytics to drive effective compliance management.

The student assistant will support with execution and coordination of selected tasks relating to Maersk’s third party management compliance process. This process focus is mainly on integrity risks such as anti-corruption, sanctions and human rights. The student assistant will work directly with the managers in our third party management projects and handle tasks primarily relating to registration and integrity due diligence of third parties using business intelligence databases.

As this project has a high focus on handling a large number of third parties, it is a requirement for the ideal candidate to have an eye for detail and a systematic work approach.

While the focus initially is on registration and integrity due diligence of third parties, the scope may gradually be extended. This is subject to the working student’s interests, development goals and performance.
