Seaborne cargoes. Your own decisions.
A role with the fastest-growing company in the sector.
We look for people from the energy market who want to be responsible for the result of their own area.
Art in the workspace
Our offices display works from the company collection – contemporary painting, rotated every few months.
From electricity to diesel, in one company.
We are active across many segments of the energy market – from electricity and natural gas to LPG and diesel. Trading, logistics, financing and risk management operate as one process, so decisions taken in one area show in the others – and so does who took them.
Decisions that show in the results
In every role you run a concrete part of a multi-energy operator’s business – a product, a market or a process. You have decision-making authority and see how the work translates into that area’s result.
The framework we work within
We have OPZ, OPC, OEE, OGZ and OPG licences, independently audited accounts, our own and bank financing, and written risk management rules.
People from leading energy groups
The core of our team comes from leading energy and fuel groups. We know what brings people to Danske Gas: the scale of the business – full seaborne cargoes and a wide range of energy carriers – combined with fast decision-making. We give wide latitude and expect self-reliance in return. Here, the result sets the limit on both your authority and your pay.
Collaboration across functions
Sales, logistics and risk management work closely together, each within its own area of responsibility. A short information path means decisions are taken close to the market.

Working directly with the Management Board on the execution of decisions and the preparation of matters for decision – from recording what has been agreed, through designating the person responsible and the deadline, to monitoring implementation and returning to the Management Board with the outcome or a recommendation.

Applications
Via the contact form – CV as a PDF file, without a cover letter, with an answer of a few sentences to a single question: ‘After a meeting, the Management Board takes five decisions concerning five different people. A week later it wants to know only this: what has been done, what has not been done and why. How should this process be organised?’ Applications without an answer will not be considered. Selection: the question in the application, then a practical task, then an interview with the Management Board.
Please send your application through the contact form, indicating the position. Recruitment has two stages: an introductory conversation and a second interview with the person responsible for the area; details in the Recruitment process section. Applications are processed in line with our Privacy policy, and only the people involved in recruitment have access to them.
The controller of candidates’ personal data is Danske Gas S.A. with its registered office in Warsaw; the data are processed solely for recruitment purposes. Privacy policy.
Autonomy with real authority.
We grant broad authority: you take the decisions yourself and you sign your name to the result. Matters are settled quickly.
Pay.
A stable base
The core of the package is a stable base salary reflecting experience, competences and scope of responsibility.
A high fixed component and an uncapped variable component
The variable component grows with the result, not with a pay grade – linked to the scope of responsibility and the quality of risk management. Alongside the financial result, portfolio quality also counts – including clients’ payment reliability.
Benefits.
Beyond the office, we are regulars at La Scala, the Salle Garnier and Warsaw’s Grand Theatre; the rhythm of our year is set by the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Art Basel and the Venice Biennale.
Development without a rigid cap.
We do not apply a rigid annual cap on professional-development spending. We fund training, conferences, certifications and access to specialist knowledge where they support the competences a role requires and the company’s business.
How we work.
Procedures exist to speed decisions up, not to replace them. We answer for each decision and for how it was taken.
Two conversations and a decision.
Introductory conversation
We talk about experience, motivation and expectations, the basic terms of the role and whether the area suits you.
Second interview and decision
You talk to the person responsible for the area: about concrete professional situations, about taking decisions, about accountability and risk management in the role, and about the terms of cooperation. If we plan a task or case study, it takes place at this stage.
Can I apply if there is no suitable opening at the moment?
Yes. We accept spontaneous applications: please describe your experience and indicate the area you would like to work in – we will contact you when a suitable position becomes available.
In what language is recruitment conducted?
We agree the language of the conversations according to the role and the participants; details are confirmed with the invitation.
