• Act as the primary commercial and technical liaison for the VPS product line within your territory, fostering strong relationships through regular site visits.
• Champion new product launches, from building the initial pipeline to gathering customer feedback and conducting training.
• Track and report on new business growth targets, executing strategic initiatives set by sales leadership.
• Serve as a customer advocate, escalating and helping resolve quality or delivery challenges by coordinating with manufacturing plant leadership.
• Employ value-selling techniques to articulate the Danfoss advantage and maximize our ability to win.

What We're Looking For

• A degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Agricultural Engineering is preferred; extensive equivalent industry experience will be strongly considered.
• 10+ years of experience in the fluid power industry, with a deep working knowledge of hydraulic circuits.
• Proven commercial background working directly with customers, ideally with OEMs.
• Specific sales experience with spool valves, open-circuit pumps, or HIC & cartridge valves is highly desirable.
• Self-motivated and highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple opportunities and product lines concurrently.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable presenting both technical and commercial material.
• Ability to travel 25-50% to customer sites and Danfoss facilities.

What You'll Get from Us
