The Impact You'll Make

Are you a results-driven sales professional with a passion for the mobile off-highway market? Danfoss is seeking a strategic Sales Development Manager to champion our innovative Connect and Control Solutions (CCS)-including displays, joysticks, controllers, and our PLUS+1 software chain-across the Americas.

Reporting to the Director of Sales, you will be a crucial part of our growth and success. This is your opportunity to join a dynamic team and play a key role in expanding our market presence.

The base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $130,000 based on experience.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Spearhead Growth: Proactively pursue and secure new business opportunities, exceeding sales targets for our market-leading CCS product lines.
  • Be the Expert: Serve as a trusted commercial and technical advisor to our customers. You'll collaborate on innovative solutions, backed by our expert Product Application Team, to solve complex challenges.
  • Build Strategic Partnerships: Work closely with account sales teams to identify and win new OEM and distributor accounts, significantly increasing our market share.
  • Bridge the Gap: Act as the vital link between customers and internal teams, ensuring seamless communication on everything from quality and delivery to new product proposals.
  • Own Your Territory: Develop and execute strategic sales plans for your assigned regions to achieve and exceed profitability and growth targets.

What We're Looking For

  • A Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 5+ years of proven success in a sales or business development role within an industrial manufacturing environment (experience in the off-highway market is a major plus), especially electronic products.
  • A track record of building strategic customer relationships and driving significant business growth.
  • Exceptional commercial acumen with a deeply customer-centric mindset.
  • Proficiency with CRM systems (Salesforce preferred), MS Office, and SAP.

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 an annual bonus, paid vacation, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they're worth asking about-we think they're pretty great.
