The posting

Are you ready to turn strategy into action and help shape the future of Hempel’s Marine business?

At Hempel, we’re on a mission to double our impact – and to get there, we need bright minds, curious thinkers and strong team players.

In May 2024, the Hempel Foundation – in agreement with the Hempel A/S Board of Directors – invited CVC Funds to become a minority investor in Hempel A/S. This partnership is designed to accelerate Hempel’s ambitious long-term growth strategy, both organically and through acquisitions.

Now, we are looking for a Strategy Projects Manager to join our newly established Marine Strategy & Marketing team.

Reporting to the Director, Strategy & Marketing Marine, you will play an important role in supporting the execution of strategic priorities across our Marine business. You will work across functions and geographies, bringing structure to complex topics, connecting people and perspectives, and ensuring that strategic decisions translate into meaningful business actions.

This is an opportunity to gain broad exposure to our business, work closely with senior stakeholders and make a tangible contribution to the development of Hempel’s Marine strategy.

Your opportunity to make an impact

In this role, you will help drive strategic initiatives forward, ensuring clear priorities, effective collaboration and strong execution. You will combine analytical thinking with hands-on project management, working with colleagues across the organization to create alignment and deliver results.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Drive strategic execution – Support the execution of Marine strategic projects, ensuring clear priorities, governance, timelines and aligned processes.
  • Strengthen cross-functional collaboration – Establish and improve ways of working and governance that enable better coordination across commercial functions.
  • Lead projects from insight to action – Manage selected strategic projects, bringing stakeholders together and ensuring decisions, actions and dependencies are followed through.
  • Turn insights into recommendations – Support market, customer and competitor analyses to identify opportunities, challenge assumptions and sharpen our strategic priorities.
  • Create structure and momentum – Bring clarity to complex topics, identify what needs to happen next and help ensure progress across multiple initiatives.
  • Contribute to the bigger picture – Be part of a collaborative, hands-on team connecting strategy, marketing and execution across Hempel’s Marine business.

Could this be your next challenge?

We are looking for someone who combines curiosity and analytical rigour with a practical, business-oriented mindset.

You enjoy solving problems, bringing structure to ambiguity and working with different stakeholders to move initiatives forward. You are comfortable switching between analytical work and hands-on project coordination, and you know how to turn complex information into clear recommendations and actions.

You will ideally bring:

  • A master's degree in business, economics, engineering, finance or a related field.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to structure problems, assess options and draw sound business conclusions.
  • Solid project management skills, with the ability to plan work, coordinate stakeholders and follow through on delivery.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate analysis into concise and compelling presentations.
  • A collaborative and proactive approach, with confidence working across functions, cultures and organizational levels.
  • Fluency in English; additional languages are an advantage.

Experience we imagine you bring

Typically, you will have 2–4 years of relevant experience from corporate strategy, business development, commercial, finance, project management or a similar role.

In addition, you may bring:

  • Experience from management consulting, which would be an advantage but is not a requirement.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional initiatives, establishing structure and governance, and driving actions through to completion.
  • A track record of analysing business challenges, developing recommendations and communicating them clearly to stakeholders.
  • Experience supporting or independently managing cross-functional projects and producing analysis that informs business decisions.

The mindset we're looking for

You are:

  • Analytical and curious – You enjoy understanding complex business challenges, asking the right questions and exploring different perspectives.
  • Structured and solution-oriented – You bring clarity to ambiguity and know how to turn ideas into actionable plans.
  • Proactive and driven – You take ownership, follow through and are motivated by making things happen.
  • Collaborative and influential – You build relationships, bring people together and create alignment across different functions.
  • Business-minded – You understand the importance of connecting strategic thinking with practical business outcomes.
