M&A Manager to join a world-leading company built on acquisitions

Job Req Number: 94040
Time Type: Full Time

We have built a strong foundation via several acquisitions – and we continue to have appetite for M&A

DSV is one of the world’s leading freight forwarders. We connect companies with the world and ensure smooth and efficient storage and transport of their goods. By air, sea and road.

We keep supply chains flowing – from shipper to customer – and help to deliver sustainable growth. By giving our customers the logistics services they require. By running a profitable operation that delivers return on investment for our shareholders. And by giving our people an inspiring place to work and equal opportunities to develop their talent.

We have a strong history of growth built around mergers and acquisitions, and M&A remains central to our strategy. In September 2024, we were proud to add to this legacy and announce the EUR 14.3 billion (approximately DKK 107 billion) acquisition of Schenker. Over the past nine years, we have also successfully completed three other transformational acquisitions: Agility GIL in 2021, Panalpina in 2019, and UTI in 2016, along with several mid-sized strategic transactions that have all contributed to our continued expansion and industry leadership.

It all starts right here at our M&A and Strategic Projects team, located at the DSV HQ in Hedehusene, Denmark.
