About the job:

If you are reading this, we’re guessing that something about this role caught your attention and that you are a person who loves to work with start-ups (aka you are pretty passionate about all things start-up), technological innovation and thrive being at the forefront – in our case – that’s all about the future of transport and logistics. You are probably also described as a person with great energy, who loves juggling multiple balls in the air, in an everyday where Tuesday usually doesn’t look like Monday, but where Friday is always fun!

Ok. If it sounds like we have just described you and you’re looking for a role where you can have real impact on the future of our portfolio of early-stage startups and get the best of both world’s – working with passionate founders and be part of a shaping the future for a global industry leader, we may have a great opportunity for you with us at Maersk Growth!

So.. what is that you will actually do?

As a Senior Portfolio Manager, you will join Sarah’s team. Sarah is our Operating Partner and basically responsible for everything post investment. The stuff before is handled by our awesome investment team. You’ll be the pivotal point between our start-ups and Maersk, helping our portfolio push forward on their growth trajectory, while driving strategic value for Maersk.

You’ll:

  • Own portfolio management end-to-end for a group of our start-ups, driving value for them through customer introductions (we have 70,000 customers…), best practice sharing on e.g. how to enter Vietnam or running joint pilots - and value for us through key insights from the external ecosystem on e.g. new technologies or business models

  • Use your project management and people skills to drive selected strategic projects with high engagement, liaising directly with senior start-up and internal stakeholders. This could be a commercial pilot with a selection of our key clients – think Adidas or Unilever. We love our customers and think they are pretty cool!

  • Have a key role in formulating our strategic investment case by liaising with our colleagues in Maersk and presenting these during our deal-flow meetings, where we make all our investment decisions. In other words, you’ll have a key role in terms of determining the future composition of our portfolio. Did we mention we just started our Fund II.. and expanded with a (green!) fuel fund!

  • Build effective and mutually beneficial relationships with identified key stakeholders in our core business driving high levels of engagement and joint value creation

  • Support our strategic insights team with key insights from your engagement with our founders and the ecosystem


We believe you’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have project management drive and discipline which is second to none

  • Have a strong track record in a commercial, strategy or customer service role with Maersk (ok we are biased). In other words – you are not afraid to get your hands dirty and dive in – in fact you like to! A strong internal network, business acumen and the ability to speak Maersk is definitely a plus

  • Have a can-do attitude and drive which is second to none. You are known for taking strong ownership and going the extra mile.

  • Have a genuine passion for and interest in the start-up and investment ecosystem. If you have had your own business, worked with a startup or have VC experience, well then double-yay!

  • Love a good challenge and handle ambiguity with a smile

  • Are well versed in PowerPoint and Excel

  • Have impeccable stakeholder management skills – you are great at building rapport and can work across all levels

  • Are often described as someone who has high energy and is loved for that by your colleagues!


Above being said - we know that diversity makes for the best teams, problem-solving and creative thinking. We are dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and believe in mindset (drive!) and attitude more than on-paper-experience. Therefore, we encourage you to apply if your experience is in the ballpark or close-ish to what we are looking for.

So far so good? Awesome! Here are some other cool aspects:

  • Flexible work: we love hanging out at our office, but you can work from home when and why you want to (we trust you!)

  • Quarterly team days and normally (when the world is open) we do one of these around the world

  • Great snack cabinets (we have a Head of Snacks and consider that a critical position for team well-being)

  • A very passionate team – current highlights are quiz masters, bakers, runners and dog lovers.

  • An amazing mothership – we love our Maersk family and so does our portfolio!


About us:

Working at Maersk Growth means you are working on something pretty exciting: shaping the future of trade by acting as a catalyst for the next generation of trade and logistics power players! Founded in 2017, we are a team of 30 passionate individuals, based out of our Growth HQ in Copenhagen, working with a portfolio of 35 startups we are pretty fond of!

Maersk Growth is the venture arm of A.P. Moller – Maersk and the external innovation arm. We invest in and partner with startups to digitise, democratise and decarbonise logistics. As a strategic investor we provide funding for startups working in the transport and logistics space and as a venture client, we experiment with startups for close partnerships.

We support thinkers and doers who focus on global challenges by nurturing startups that apply new business models and technologies to transform trade – but our buck doesn’t stop there. We augment every dollar we invest with our expertise, our customer base (we have +70,000) and global reach. In addition, by mobilizing our dedicated colleagues across Maersk, we empower startups to build synergies that sharpen their competitive edge. It's what we call bringing value beyond capital.

Please apply before November 1st by uploading:

  • A short video (max. 90 seconds) introducing yourself and answering: “Why you are a great candidate for the position?” (You can add a hyperlink to your CV or send us the video separately via e-mail) OR a short application letter (max 1 page) answering in 5’ish bullets: “Why you are a great candidate for the position?”

  • Your CV

  • University transcripts
