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 facilitate 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.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or other protected category.
