Job description

The Impact You'll Make

Would you like to work on high-priority strategic projects across diverse technical businesses in a global company? As a Strategy Manager in Group Strategy and M&A, you will play a central role in leading and delivering strategic projects across Danfoss’ business units in our in-house consultancy team. Our team plays a key role in shaping Danfoss’ strategic direction, acting as trusted partners to business leaders and supporting the development of a high-performing, future-ready portfolio. Projects range from divisional strategy development - enabling turnarounds, growth, or divestments - to cross-divisional initiatives defining joint strategies for specific applications or industries.

You will work closely with senior leaders across the organization and gain exposure to a broad range of industries, technologies, and business models across Danfoss’ global portfolio. You will also join a team that combines high ambitions with a strong feedback culture to offer a professional development journey comparable to management consulting, with a stronger focus on a healthy work-life balance.

The position is based in our Copenhagen office, with occasional travel to Danfoss headquarters in Nordborg, Als, or other company locations.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead workstreams and small projects, including leading meetings, managing dialogue with stakeholders, and planning and executing work.
• Own and conduct structured analyses, including market research, data analysis, financial modelling, and storylining, while guiding and reviewing work performed by junior colleagues.
• Prepare and facilitiate workshops involving a broad range of stakeholders.
• Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership.
• Build and strengthen a strong internal strategy function by driving capability and knowledge development and mentoring junior colleagues.

What We're Looking For

• 2-4 years of highly relevant experience in strategy - ideally from a management consulting firm, corporate strategy function, or other relevant positions.
• Strong analytical skills and a structured, problem-solving mindset.
• Motivation to shape the direction of a global, industrial company.
• Curiosity, drive, and a proactive approach to tackling diverse challenges.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic, international environment.
• Strong interpersonal skills, enabling effective engagement with a wide range of stakeholders.

What You’ll Get From Us

• We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
• You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
• We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
• You’ll receive benefits like annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about - we think they’re pretty great.

However, To Be Considered For This Role, You Must

• Have an EU work permit. The role is based in our Copenhagen office and we do not offer relocation packages.
