Are you ready to lead a specialised and efficient team — and guide them with calm authority and smart improvements? And could you see yourself in a role where your technical curiosity, commercial mindset, and people skills all matter equally? As Senior Manager, you will run day-to-day operations and develop long-term strategy — while helping shape how GEA delivers world-class service to customers in over 60 countries.

Your responsibilities and tasks:
You will be heading up a skilled and steady team of 9 internal sales specialists based in Søborg. This is a technically minded group that works behind the scenes to handle incoming requests from GEA’s global customer base. Think engineering meets detective work: interpreting diagrams, checking with suppliers, and shaping offers that range from 500 to 100,000 euros.

“The team is not looking for reinvention – they know what they’re doing. They’re thorough and take pride in delivering precise, timely quotes that keep complex processing plants running smoothly. That also means your leadership style matters: you’ll need to give direction without micromanaging, support without disrupting, and earn trust by knowing your stuff, “ says Claus Heiberg, Director Service Sales.

You will also be part of a wider leadership group working on strategic initiatives across the service business.

As our new Senior Manager, you will take full ownership of a newly defined leadership role with direct responsibility for offer handling in GEA’s Drying Technologies Service business – and for a team that delivers a couple of thousand spare part offers a year and ensures that our new installations are supported with a complete service offer for both spare parts and service agreements.

Your focus will be on leading the day-to-day operations, driving process improvements, and ensuring that technical quotes are delivered with speed, quality, and business acumen.

You get a broad and business-critical role, where you:

• Lead, empower, and support a technically skilled team in Søborg and collaborate closely with a support hub in India
• Secure a smooth and lean offer handling process, from incoming request to final customer quote
• Work closely with supply chain, engineering, and sales to align offers with pricing strategy and technical feasibility
• Own and improve KPIs such as response time, hit rate, and gross margin
• Drive the development of new service initiatives and support the implementation of business models
• Balance operational stability with long-term improvements, ensuring quality delivery while evolving the function.

Your profile and qualifications:
You are a grounded leader who listens first, sets direction clearly, and builds trust through both presence and professionalism. Furthermore, you thrive in a technical environment where collaboration, curiosity, and commercial thinking go hand in hand.

We furthermore imagine that you:

• Have a minimum of 2 years of leadership experience – perhaps from a service function, internal sales, or a back-office environment
• Understand technical drawings and can navigate complex products or processes — you do not need to be an engineer, but you speak the language
• Bring a strong business mindset and know how to balance operational flow with long-term improvements
• Are familiar with lean principles and enjoy working with KPIs and process optimisation
• Speak and write both Danish and English fluently.
