Global Strategic Performance analyst ( PMO) La Défense)

CMA CGM, a global leader in container shipping and logistics, is seeking a Global Strategic Performance Analyst (PMO) to join the team onsite in Courbevoie, near La Défense. The role anchors the group’s transformation effort, helping to monitor and steer strategic programs across finance, human resources and productivity initiatives. This is a chance to work in a multinational setting with real-building impact and to engage with senior leaders as you turn strategic plans into concrete results.

As part of the transformation function, the company places a premium on collaboration across functions and on turning data into actionable guidance. You’ll be part of a global, diverse environment that values curiosity and proactive problem‑solving, with opportunities to contribute to governance, reporting and cross‑functional projects. If you enjoy data, dashboards, and telling the story behind the numbers, this role is for you.

This position is well suited to someone aiming to launch or accelerate a career in strategy and transformation, especially with an appetite for data-driven analysis and executive storytelling. The experience offers exposure to senior leadership and a platform to grow within a large, international group that spans logistics and shipping disciplines.

Shaping the transformation cockpit and insights

In this role you’ll help design and roll out the transformation cockpit, building KPIs and the associated dashboards and reporting packages. You’ll bring together data from Finance, HR and transformation programs to create a clear, consolidated picture of progress and performance. You’ll also prepare strategic analyses and synthesis materials for the CEO, CFO, CHRO and other members of the Management Team, helping leadership understand what the data is saying and where action is required. Governance processes will benefit from your data collection, process structuring and progress-tracking support, and you’ll contribute to ad-hoc projects such as benchmarking and cross‑functional analyses, including workshop preparation.

What you’ll bring to the role

• You’re in your final year at a leading business school, engineering school, or an equivalent university program, with a specialization in management, strategy, finance or data, and you’ve had international exposure.
• You speak English fluently and have working knowledge of French, with speaking proficiency preferred; strong Excel and PowerPoint skills are a must, and familiarity with data-visualization tools such as Power BI or Qlik is a plus.
• Your analytical abilities are strong: you can solve problems, structure information, and distill complex data into clear, actionable insights.
• You’re team-focused, curious and proactive, comfortable working in a fast-paced, international, multicultural environment.

• Experience in a PMO, transformation program, or governance-support setting would help you hit the ground running.
• Having created executive-ready presentations or dashboards that a senior audience would rely on is a plus.
• Additional familiarity with data visualization tools beyond Excel will set you apart.

Tips to stand out in this PMO role

Put the cockpit experience up top on your resume. If you’ve built dashboards or KPI frameworks intended to guide strategic decisions, feature those projects prominently at the start of your experience section so the hiring team sees your relevant impact first.

Show how you turn data into decisions. Prepare a concise story about a time you consolidated data from multiple sources, translated it into a strategic insight, and presented it to senior colleagues in a deck or briefing that influenced a move or a policy.

Be ready to talk governance and progress tracking specifics. Have a concrete example where you helped structure a process, tracked milestones, or supported governance rituals, and explain the outcomes or improvements that followed.

Demonstrate your international mindset and language readiness. Highlight any cross-border projects, collaboration with diverse teams, or coursework and experiences that involved working across cultures and languages.
