Here’s what the job entails
In the role, you will be a primary driver of analyses that will impact strategic decision making. The analyses revolve around market insights, trend forecasting, competitor benchmarks and business performance.
Your areas of responsibility will include the following:
- conduct market research for corporate-level strategy work and underpin strategic decision making with market intelligence
- build strategic bridges to our parent company Equinor and identify commercial opportunities for shared value-creation

Meet the team
Our Strategy & Communications team is a key staff function at Danske Commodities, reporting directly to the CEO. The team plays a dual role, covering both corporate strategy and communications. On the strategy side, we handle development and execution of our company strategy, including commercial advisory, management support and reporting to the Board of Directors. We are also responsible for our efforts on driving sustainability. On the communications side, we are responsible for all aspects of the company’s brand and reputation.
The duality of the team is also reflected in the team members. Some of us have a background in Business, some in Corporate Communications, one is a journalist, and we even have an architect in the team (long story), but we all share a passion for taking the business to new heights and having fun while doing so.
This is a high-impact role with a unique opportunity to contribute to the development and execution of the corporate strategy for a global energy company.
But enough about us… over to you!
As you will play an important role in our corporate strategy work, we imagine that you are a driven professional, who’s motivated by engaging with stakeholders across corporate levels and different areas of expertise.

We imagine that you:
- hold a relevant master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business or similar
- have 3-5 years of experience from a similar position, alternatively from management consulting or the financial sector
- have great communication skills as we work with many different internal and external stakeholders
- have industry experience, e.g. from energy trading or financial markets
