**Job Description**

Would you like to work on high-priority strategic projects across diverse technical businesses in a global company?

Then join our in-house consultancy team at Danfoss as a (Senior) Strategy Consultant!

At Danfoss, we are driven by our purpose to engineer a better future.

With our broad portfolio, we enable competitive decarbonization in heavy industries and differentiate through sustainable innovation.

Our Group Strategy and M&A 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.

Additionally, we contribute to commercial due diligence and strategic support for M&A activities.

The team consists of international colleagues from management consulting, corporate strategy, financial services, and internal career paths.

We foster a collaborative, supportive culture, regularly arranging social activities and prioritizing professional growth.

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

You will report to the Senior Director for Business Strategy and M&A Consultancy.

**Job Responsibilities**

As a (Senior) Strategy Consultant, you will play a central role in supporting and delivering strategic projects across Danfoss’ business units.

Your key responsibilities will include:

+ Project Planning: Define project objectives, scope, and structure by identifying and framing key business issues.
+ Project Management: Lead workstreams, facilitate collaboration, and build effective stakeholder relationships.
+ Project Execution:

+ Conduct structured analyses, including market research, data analysis, financial modelling, and story-lining.
+ Prepare and facilitate workshops involving a broad range of stakeholders.
+ Present findings and recommendations to senior leadership.

+ Contribute to building a strong internal strategy function by sharing expertise, supporting recruitment processes, mentoring junior colleagues, and participating in knowledge development.

This role offers:

+ Diverse, high-impact projects contributing directly to decarbonization ambitions.
+ Close collaboration with senior leaders and experts across the business.
+ A personal and professional development journey comparable to management consulting, with a stronger focus on a healthy work-life balance.
+ Future career opportunities within Group Strategy and M&A or across the wider Danfoss organization.

**Background & Skills**

We imagine you hold a relevant degree in business, economics, or STEM with strong results.

While a technical background (e.g., in mechanical or electrical engineering) is appreciated, it is not required.

To succeed in this role, you bring:

+ 1–3 years of relevant experience in strategy — ideally from a 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.
+ Proficiency in English, both spoken and written (Danish is not required).

Even if you do not meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply.

At Danfoss, we value diversity of backgrounds and experience, and we are always looking for curious, motivated people eager to grow with us.

However, to be considered for this role, you must:

+ Upload both CV and a cover letter in our application portal.

Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
+ Have an EU work permit.

The role is based in our Copenhagen office and we do not offer relocation packages.

The application deadline is October 31st, but we review applications on an ongoing basis and will close the position when the right candidate has been found.

Be part of our mission to engineer a better future!
