Opportunity
Why should you work on the Energy Transition Platform?
The world is facing a climate emergency. We see it as our obligation – as an industry leader and with the resources available to us – to do all we can to get to net zero operations as fast as possible and to help our customers decarbonize their global supply chains end to end.
As a key player in an industry responsible for 3.5 billion tons of annual direct emissions, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) is committed to leading the decarbonization of logistics and taking responsibility to be part of the solution, enabling a green and just transition. In early 2022, we announced the ambitious goal of advancing the target year for our commitment to reach net zero emissions by a full decade, to 2040. This applies to our own operations, but – even more importantly – covers all three emission scopes and supports our customers’ own climate commitments.
In 2022, we improved our methodologies for scope calculations, allowing us to report more precise figures which increase the total emissions reported. Scope 3 calculations remain an evolving science, and our footprint will continue to evolve with more accurate data, and due to acquisitions and changes in our business.
Among other responsibilities, The Energy Transition platform team will build services to measure, calculate, and enable net zero commitments across our business by 2040. This means together we will:
Identify, source, normalize and govern timely and accurate data to enable emissions calculations
Provide a single source of calculated emissions measures and analysis using defined standard calculation methods with all applicable reporting schemes

Who is the Hiring Manager?
The hiring manager for this role is Heather, Sr Engineering Director for the Energy Transition area. Here are a few principles Heather leads by:
Kindness above all else
Remove waste when you see it
Effective actions > High Activity
Know your users / Use your product
Put things on the table today, not tomorrow
Always reach across the aisle
Support curiosity
Teams win and lose together
Keep yourself recharged
Tell it like it is
Lean Product Development & Extreme Programming have influenced Heather a lot. They both set a foundation for later work like Accelerate or DevOps. Heather looks to develop products in a way that maximizes learning along the way, while remaining aware of the ethical tension in moving too fast without consideration.
