Are you an experienced operational profile looking to make a move into a more commercial role?
Do you want to join us in bringing a new, innovative, and high-profile wind installation vessel to market, communicating daily about this advanced technology? Do you have the skills and drive to support an ambitious fleet expansion of next-generation vessels, ready for the future of offshore wind installation?
Then this might be your chance! We are looking for a new Operational Sales Manager to take the lead in our commercial tracks. In this role, you will play an integral part in supporting the Commercial team during all stages of tender work, ensuring that our first vessel will be installing many offshore windfarms starting in 2026. And we are planning to build more! From pioneering new designs to enhanced conventional assets, Maersk Offshore Wind is developing a top-tier fleet of fit-for-purpose vessels, with a portfolio of installation solutions that can enable tailored delivery to offshore wind farms anywhere in the world.
What We Offer
This is not just any job.

If this sounds intriguing, we encourage you to read more about the project here.
This is a truly exciting position where you will be given responsibility from the start. As Operations Sales Manager you will become an integral part of the tender process and work closely with the Commercial team during all stages of the tender process including bid preparation, clarifications, negotiations and where you will engage with multiple stakeholders like the offshore wind developers, sub-contractors, engineering houses, OEMs, etc.
We work hard and we have fun doing so. Our work environment is informal, flexible, dynamic, and international. You will work in a culturally diverse environment, where new ideas and different ways of doing things are welcome. We are proud of our diversity and see it as a genuine source of strength.
We are owned by A.P. Moller Holding, operating independently with the trust and empowerment to do what is right for us, while proudly bearing the Maersk name and values. With that said, we are also a “startup” with all the opportunities and challenges that brings.
When you work at our headquarters in Nordhavn, you will enjoy a range of benefits such as a great canteen and massages among other benefits. We offer flexible working hours, a good work-life balance, and freedom to plan your own work.

Besides the tender activity there will be business development work where you will work with the Commercial team to develop, mature and bring new products to the market.

First and foremost, you are passionate about large scale construction projects in the maritime space, and you recognize the game-changing potential new innovations like our wind installation vessel have on driving the green energy transition.
