Consultor Sénior de Direitos Humanos

Imagine a future where you help strengthen a responsible, human‑rights‑driven approach across Ørsted's global value chain.

Join us in this role where you'll support the development and implementation of Ørsted's human rights due diligence practices, translate complex regulatory expectations into practical guidance, and enhance the tools and processes that enable responsible and compliant business conduct across our global operations.

You'll be part of the Sustainability Due Diligence & Compliance team where you, together with your colleagues will drive human rights due diligence across supply chains, own operations, and communities, while strengthening data, methodologies, and reporting practices for internal and external stakeholders. The team consists of five people, including advisors and a student, all working globally, primarily from Gentofte.
As a team, we collaborate closely, value diverse perspectives, and support each other in tackling meaningful sustainability challenges.

You'll play an important role in

• supporting human rights due diligence activities, including screenings, targeted impact assessments, and follow‑up actions across the full value chain
• translating human rights regulations, such as CSDDD and international standards, into clear and actionable guidance for internal teams
• maintaining and enhancing due diligence data, including risk registers, dashboards, and methodologies
• preparing briefings, presentations, disclosures, and responses for customers, investors, and external stakeholders
• delivering internal capability building through training, guidance, and cross‑functional engagement
• contributing to internal and external reporting, including Modern Slavery Statements and ESG disclosures.

To succeed in the role, you

• bring human rights expertise with working knowledge of international standards and legislation, including the UNGPs, ILO Core Conventions, OECD Guidelines, the EU CSDDD, and other emerging human rights due diligence regulations
• have practical experience in translating these standards into simple, practical guidance for a corporate setting, and ideally hands‑on experience with human rights supply chain due diligence and value chain impact assessments
• show the ability to lead or contribute to projects, navigate complex stakeholder landscapes, manage and drive change effectively, and see tasks through to completion
• apply strategic and analytical thinking to identify human rights trends and translate them into actionable business priorities
• have strong reporting and documentation capabilities, ensuring clarity, consistency, and evidence‑based outputs - it is an advantage if you have working experience with EU CSRD
• have relevant degree such as law, social science, business administration, or equivalent working experience
• communicate clearly, adapt your messaging to diverse audiences, and build trust across functions.

Maybe you've read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don't quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
