With its ongoing ERP Transformation, DFDS is embarking on a digital transformation across Finance and Procurement. Replacing all current ERP solutions in DFDS with D365 F&O across more than 20 markets and +100 entities is a key part of our ambition towards becoming a more digitized operator.

Turning the focus to you – who are we looking for?
We are looking for an experienced Senior Project Manager familiar with leading complex projects involving many stakeholders across functional and technical areas. We do not expect you to know every detail of finance, procurement or system configs, however, you should be curious by nature and skilled in asking the right questions to ensure progress.

Moreover, the ideal candidate is structured, an experienced planner and able to address critical matters in an effective manner. We also value that you are a strong communicator, have highly developed collaboration skills and are excellent at motivating people around you while building lasting relations.

Additionally, we expect that you have:

• A relevant educational background either within Business or IT
• Min. 7 years of experience in running large transformational IT projects incl. min. 3 years of experience in running ERP projects in multinational companies, preferably with cross-functional teams spread across multiple locations

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to enable and empower your team
• A consultancy mindset and a proven toolbox that allows you to convey solutions across all levels of an organization
• Experience with D365 F&O.

You connect well with people and build trust with stakeholders at all organizational levels. You think strategically while also following up and supporting your immediate team on a day-to-day basis. Additionally, you have:

• Hands on experience with organizational change management frameworks
• The ability to develop detailed project plans, manage scope, schedules, and resources
• Proven experience with both Agile (Scrum, Kanban) and traditional Waterfall project management methodologies including proficiency with tools like MS Project, Jira, or Azure DevOps is preferred.

In this position, some travel days will be expected, and you should therefore be happy to travel and thrive in an environment where no day looks like the previous one. We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and unique characters bring out the best in all of us.
