You won’t just be selling products; you’ll be delivering high-value, system-based solutions that solve real-world challenges. You will be the trusted expert our partners rely on to win in the market and grow their business alongside ours.

  • Develop and execute strategic sales plans for your assigned accounts, ensuring we meet and exceed our ambitious growth targets.
  • Lead impactful quarterly business reviews with key partners to align strategy, review performance, and plan for future success.
  • Serve as the expert on your market, gathering and communicating key intelligence to keep Danfoss ahead of the curve.

What We're Looking For
  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in technical sales, preferably within hydraulics, fluid power, or a related industrial field.
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Business or Engineering, or equivalent experience demonstrating strong technical and commercial skills.
  • Proven success in managing accounts and building relationships, ideally within a distribution channel sales model.
  • Excellent communication skills and the technical aptitude to understand and sell complex system solutions.
  • The ability to travel up to 50% across the territory
  • Experience using a CRM system to manage your sales pipeline and market activity is a strong plus.

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.
