Appetizer

APM Terminals Maasvlakte II (MVII) is one of the world’s most advanced and highly automated container terminals, strategically located in the Port of Rotterdam. As part of the A.P. Moller-Maersk Group and the global APM Terminals network, we actively contribute to enabling global trade and fostering sustainable economic growth.

At MVII, Finance plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of one of the world’s most advanced automated terminals. We are in a phase of significant growth and transformation, including a EUR 1bn expansion, where Finance is at the centre of strategic decision-making.

This is not a “business-as-usual” accounting role. We are looking for a high-potential accounting professional ready to step up, take ownership, and help build a best-in-class finance function in a business that is scaling rapidly.

What sets MVII apart is our culture of innovation, safety and operational excellence. The Lean methodology is deeply embedded in our way of working – from continuous process improvement to cross-functional teamwork at ground level. At MVII, you’ll be part of a forward-thinking, data-driven environment built on continuous improvement. Join us and contribute to a terminal that sets the global benchmark.

With over 500 employees and strong global backing, MVII offers the opportunity to grow with the business and make real impact from day one.
