The Impact You'll Make

As a Global SIOP Manager, you will play a pivotal role in connecting demand, operations and inventories across our global manufacturing network. By helping Danfoss balance customer demand with production capabilities, you will directly influence business performance, customer satisfaction, and operational excellence. This is a highly visible global role with responsibility across sites, where you will facilitate critical planning processes and help manufacturing teams anticipate and respond to changing market needs. As new business opportunities emerge, including growth segments such as data centers, your work will help ensure we have the right supply strategies and risk mitigation plans in place. You will also lead the transition from Anaplan to SAP IBP, shaping the future of operational planning while collaborating with stakeholders across supply chain, procurement, sales, manufacturing, and product management. The position is a global role, which means it can be based e.g. in Vaasa, Graasten, Kolding, or Chennai, working closely with international stakeholders and global manufacturing facilities.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead global supply review processes across multiple manufacturing sites, enabling alignment between customer demand, capacity, materials, and operational resources
• Drive the implementation of SAP IBP for operational planning, helping establish a scalable and future-ready planning environment
• Coordinate forecasting, inventory, and operational planning activities for key product lines, ensuring accurate planning decisions and business readiness for new product introductions and ramp-ups
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between supply chain, procurement, sales, project management, and operations teams to address planning challenges, supply risks, and business opportunities
• Develop data-driven insights, reporting, and supply flexibility scenarios that support faster decision-making and enable the business to respond effectively to changing demand patterns

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in sales and operations planning, supply planning, demand planning, procurement, operations planning, or broader supply chain management
• Strong analytical capabilities and the ability to transform complex data into actionable business recommendations
• Experience working with planning and ERP systems, preferably SAP and SAP IBP or similar solutions
• Demonstrated ability to influence and collaborate with stakeholders across functions, locations, and cultures without direct authority and the ability to independently drive change and deliver results
• Professional fluency in English with strong communication and facilitation skills

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.
