Be part of the movement - and play your part.  

About the role 

Join our team as Master Data Business Partner and becomell part of an exciting transformation journey, where you will have the opportunity to make a real impact and leave your mark on how we work with data across the organisation.

In this role, you will lead the implementation of Data Governance in alignment with our established framework. Moreover, you will be responsible for:

• Managing our existing Change Advisory Boards (CABs) for Customer and Supplier data, as well as setting up new CABs in line with our strategy. This includes preparing presentations, understanding business pain points, and presenting topic

• Facilitating and driving discussions with business stakeholders and Master Data teams in Poznań and Copenhagen to establish data definitions, confirm data requirements based on business needs, and ensure compliance with our Master Data governance framework  

• Contributing to the development and rollout of our data glossary

• Supporting the creation of Data Quality dashboards by acting as the link between the development team and the CABs

 Our team consists of 45 colleagues located in Poznań (Poland) and Copenhagen, working across GDPR governance, data governance, and master data management for Customer, Supplier, and Item domains.

This role is based in Copenhagen, joining four colleagues focused on data governance and GDPR. You will work closely with a team member in Poznań who will support the planning, preparation and follow-up of CAB meetings and activities in between.

We are currently undergoing a transformation—from being “order takers” to becoming true “data guardians.” This means taking greater responsibility of data by introducing stronger governance, defining data standards, establishing standard processes, measuring and improving data quality, and automate to optimise and improve processes.

We value open collaboration, sparring, and supporting each other in an informal and friendly environment.

About you

As a large and complex organisation, driving transformation requires strong relationshipbuilding skills and the ability to lead and facilitate datafocused discussions with senior management, business stakeholders, and IT specialists.

You are naturally curious—eager to understand business needs and pain points—and you know how to tailor your communication to your audience, using storytelling to make data topics engaging and understandable.

We are looking for someone who is ambitious in solving tasks and motivated to deliver sustainable, highquality solutions that create real value for DFDS.

You are persistent, detailoriented, and qualitydriven, with a strong analytical mindset that enables you to navigate complexity and make sound decisions. Fluency in English is required – both written and spoken.

Moreover, the ideal candidate has experience with:

• Master Data Governance and practical implementation in a large, complex organisation

• Facilitating discussions with different stakeholders who do not have Master Data Management as part of their daily job, leading to aligned standards for data and processes

• Defining business requirements for the data glossary, Data Quality (DQ) dashboards, DQ measurements, and data lineage

• Working closely with business stakeholders and developers to define KPIs and metrics

• Operating within the logistics industry, giving you a strong understanding of its data challenges and processes

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. We are looking for a team player - and we cannot wait for you to join.
