We are about to implement a new Enterprise Performance Management platform in DFDS, and we need you to take charge of that project. This includes building the future data platform for finance to make sure we can deliver the right financial and non-financial data for financial reporting and for driving our ESG agenda forward. In addition to this major project, you will have responsibility for several application in the finance and procurement domains.

The Digital Back Office is essential in the successful roll out of our new EPM system, ensuring that our users adopt and are happy with the new solution. This puts you in a very central role ensuring our success and value creation.

We expect that:

• Stakeholders go away from your meetings with a clear understanding of progress, impact, and how they contribute to the overall success.
• You clearly map and communicate benefits and risks regarding your areas in DFDS.
