Job Description
Are you passionate about accelerating decarbonization in heavy industries? 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
- Sustainability: Developing energy-efficient, circular products and solutions that reduce consumption, improve productivity, and lower emissions.
- Electrification: Building a leading position in full-electric and hybrid solutions as energy systems electrify and efficiency becomes critical.
- Digitalization: Leveraging digital engineering, data, and AI to enhance products, optimize applications, and reduce time to market
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.
