Turn approved ideas into organised, execution-ready projects

Would you like to play a pivotal role in a major global finance transformation, ensuring that important initiatives get off to a strong and structured start?

This is your opportunity to work at the centre of DSV’s Finance Transformation organisation, connecting project demand, functional expertise and project delivery. You will ensure continuity from the initial assessment of an initiative until an appointed Project Manager is fully operational and ready to take ownership.

You will bring the right experts together, coordinate the information and decisions required to mobilise the project, and turn an approved idea into a clear and organised project setup.

“A strong project start is critical to successful delivery. In this role, you will ensure that approved initiatives do not lose momentum while a project organisation is being established. You will bring structure, transparency and active coordination to the mobilisation phase, enabling the Project Manager and delivery teams to take over from a solid foundation,” explains Daniel Obst, Director, Finance Transformation Office.

Join an international Finance Transformation organisation

Based at our global headquarters in Hedehusene, Denmark, you will join DSV’s Finance Transformation department, consisting of more than 90 international colleagues working across functions, countries and time zones.

Our organisation helps DSV improve and standardise its global finance processes, systems and data. We manage a broad portfolio of transformation initiatives, including technology-enabled process improvements, country implementations, integration activities and new finance solutions.

You will become part of the Finance Transformation Office, which provides portfolio oversight and connects initiatives across Finance, Technology and the wider business. The office helps ensure that the right initiatives are prioritised, properly prepared and set up to deliver measurable value.

Mobilise projects from initial assessment to Project Manager handover

As Finance Transformation Mobilisation Lead, you will coordinate the early stages of several potential and approved projects in parallel.

During the initial assessment of an initiative, you will identify which Finance, Technology and specialist functions need to contribute. You will coordinate their input into scope clarification, effort estimates, dependencies, assumptions and open questions, ensuring that decision-makers have the information required to determine whether and how the initiative should proceed.

Once an initiative has been approved, you will act as the temporary coordination point until a Project Manager is appointed and operational. You will facilitate the preparation of an initial project setup that gives the Project Manager a clear and usable basis for taking over.

The role is accountable for orchestrating the mobilisation process. You will not be expected to define specialist content yourself or remain responsible for project delivery. Instead, your ability to involve the right experts, ask the right questions and create clarity across multiple contributors will be central to your success.

Specifically, you will:

• Coordinate contributions and effort estimates from Finance, Technology and other relevant specialist functions during the assessment and mobilisation of initiatives.
• Turn initially ambiguous project ideas into a structured starting point by clarifying scope, stakeholders, assumptions, dependencies, risks and outstanding decisions.
• Facilitate the preparation of the initial project setup, including the implementation approach, high-level timeline, resource needs and affected processes, systems, data and organisational units.
• Bring the right experts and stakeholders together, ensuring that their input is consolidated into one coherent and transparent mobilisation package.
• Maintain momentum after project approval by acting as the temporary coordination point until an appointed Project Manager is fully operational.

A hybrid of project professional and transformation practitioner

We are looking for someone who combines strong project structuring and planning capabilities with a practical understanding of complex business transformation.

You do not need to be the deepest expert in every Finance or technology area. However, you must understand transformation delivery well enough to recognise gaps, ask informed questions, connect dependencies and ensure that specialist input becomes part of one coherent project setup.

We imagine that you:

• Have several years of experience in project management, project mobilisation, business or finance transformation, systems implementation, integration or consulting.
• Can structure ambiguous initiatives and translate them into clear scope, activities, milestones, dependencies, responsibilities and decisions.
• Combine strong project planning and coordination skills with enough business and Finance Transformation understanding to ask informed questions and recognise delivery gaps.
• Are an effective facilitator who can create alignment, challenge assumptions constructively and coordinate subject matter experts without owning their specialist content.
• Can manage several initiatives in parallel, applying a pragmatic approach based on their size, complexity and urgency.
• Communicate clearly in English, take ownership of open topics and create momentum even when the formal project organisation is not yet in place.

Experience with enterprise resource planning implementations, particularly SAP, finance process transformation, country rollouts or post-merger integration would be beneficial. Experience with project portfolio management tools, Microsoft Project, Power BI or similar planning and reporting solutions would also be helpful, but is not a prerequisite.

Formal project management or continuous improvement certifications, such as PMP, PRINCE2 or Lean Six Sigma, may be advantageous. However, we place greater emphasis on relevant delivery experience, sound judgement and the ability to create alignment in a complex environment.
