Be part of shaping the future of Logistics Operations at Danish Crown 

Danish Crown is reshaping its global logistics setup to create a unified, future‑ready organization. Join us as Head of BU Logistics Operations and play a key role in strengthening service, boosting performance, and driving smarter, standardized ways of working across the value chain.

Danish Crown is entering an exciting transformation of our global logistics setup — a shift designed to strengthen our service delivery, unlock efficiencies across our value chain, and move from a conglomerate structure to a unified Group approach.

Our new logistics direction will ensure we act as one global function, deliver lean and scalable logistics, improve service reliability, and contribute to achieving year‑on‑year value through smarter ways of working.
