Whether you are newly graduated or bring some relevant experience, what matters most is your mindset – a willingness to learn, build strong relationships, and challenge ideas to achieve the best results. The position is based in either Kolding or Nordborg, with around two weekly days in Nordborg for close collaboration with the team and stakeholders.

- Developing and maintaining supplier relationships to secure optimal performance
- Building strong partnerships with internal stakeholders across all levels
- Supporting the development and implementation of category strategies
- Taking on ad hoc tasks and projects with flexibility and a hands-on approach
You will gain broad exposure to different parts of the organization and have the opportunity to influence decisions – including in dialogue with senior leadership.
What We're Looking For
We welcome different educational and professional backgrounds, including recent graduates, as long as you have the drive and willingness to learn. You thrive in a collaborative environment, take the initiative, and can keep an overview in a fast-paced setting
We imagine you bring:
- A bachelor’s degree or equivalent
- An outgoing, proactive approach and strong communication skills
- A structured, logical way of working and problem-solving
- Flexibility to handle varied tasks in a dynamic environment
- Interest in category management and procurement
- Availability to work from Nordborg about two days per week

At Danfoss, we offer a global environment where you can grow professionally and personally. You will be part of a supportive team that values teamwork, open dialogue, and continuous learning
- 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 13th salary, 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.
