About the role
DFDS operates through two divisions – Logistics and Ferry. In this role, you will join the central Business Finance team for the Logistics Division and take part in how financial performance is measured, steered, and improved across a rapidly growing European logistics business. You will report to the Head of Central Business Finance Logistics, who reports to the Divisional CFO Logistics.
The central Business Finance team holds ownership of all core financial planning, reporting, functional finance, and commercial support activities of the Logistics Division. You will join a team of four Finance Business Partners in Copenhagen and two Business Analysts in our Shared Service Center in Poznan.
Within the team, you will take responsibilities in:
- Driving the divisional monthly- and quarterly performance cycle, incl. reporting and budgeting
- Driving improvement initiatives for the reporting framework, automation and data quality
- Engaging in improvement initiatives in the data models, and planning frameworks relevant to the performance cycle
- Supporting the adoption of new KPI frameworks and models for risk assessment to the performance outlook
- Supporting financial insight and decision material to senior stakeholders in central functions
- Financial processes, data models and analytical tooling incl. usage of EPM, BI and AI tools
Further, you will work closely with the Group FP&A team and the Senior Finance Business Partners across business units to ensure aligned financial processes, shared standards, and timely reporting.
Your role will be hands on, performing reporting- and analytical activities, together with a team that sits at the centre of the division’s performance agenda.
You will be based at our headquarters in Copenhagen and join a driven and dedicated Business Finance team where colleagues work closely together, support each other, and take pride in driving clarity and impact for the business. The division has more than tripled in size in recent years, and the business finance function is at the core of driving performance in this setting.
About you
You thrive in a role that combines the recurrent periodic reporting activities with hands-on analytical work, contributing to the strategic direction for the division. With this in mind, we imagine that the ideal candidate brings:
- +2 years of experience within FP&A or Business Finance, preferably from large, international, or complex organisations
- Understanding of financial processes, planning cycles, P&L, balance sheet and cash flow
- Strong analytical skills and structured problem solving abilities
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- A collaborative mindset and strong personal drive
- Fundamental understanding of EPM or ERP systems (e.g., OneStream/HFM, D365/SAP/Oracle or similar)
- Experience with and/or interest in leveraging AI to improve reporting, analysis, and ways of working
- Experience in the logistics sector and project management is a plus, but not required
A degree in finance, economics, business administration, or similar is expected. Full professional proficiency in English is required.
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills, and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
