The Impact You'll Make

At Danfoss Climate Solutions, software is transforming how HVACR systems work—making them smarter, more connected, and more efficient. We are developing an expanding portfolio of software control applications and reusable libraries on the Alsmart programmable controller platform for heat pumps, chillers, refrigeration packs, rooftops, data centers, and more. We need you to bring it all together.

As Senior Product

Manager – HVACR Software Applications, you will take global ownership of this ecosystem, creating clarity, driving alignment, and turning the developments into a strategic, scalable portfolio. This is a broad, high-impact role where you will shape what gets built, how it is commercialized, and how we bring it to market. You will be the product owner and coordination point for a global community of developers, working across segments, geographies, and functions to prioritize the right applications and ensure every release delivers customer value. If you are energized by building software ecosystems, influencing without authority, and driving strategy at the intersection of HVACR systems and intelligent controls, this is your opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing

Own and manage the global portfolio of Alsmart-based HVACR software applications and reusable libraries, spanning heat pumps, chillers, refrigeration, rooftops, data centers, and hydronic systems—defining roadmaps based on customer value, market impact, and strategic fit

Lead prioritization and portfolio strategy by establishing clear criteria around market demand, reusability, development effort, and strategic relevance,



deciding what gets developed, reused, postponed, or stopped

Coordinate application development across product lines, regions, central technology teams, and external partners, promoting standardization, library reuse, and IP protection to enable scale & efficiency

Align go-to-market approaches in collaboration with marketing, legal, and platform teams

Drive structured release and lifecycle management, ensuring quality standards, platform compatibility, documentation, versioning, and phase-out strategies across the application ecosystem

What We're Looking For

Degree in Engineering, Automation, Computer Science, or a related field paired with +5 years of experience in product management, portfolio management, or system solutions within HVACR systems, industrial automation, or embedded control platforms

Proven ability to lead through influence in a global, matrix organization, navigating across product lines, regions, and functions to drive alignment and results

Strong analytical, prioritization, and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical and market needs into strategic portfolio decisions

Broad system-level understanding of HVACR applications—you do not need to be a coding expert,



but you should be able to discuss control strategies, understand customer requirements, based on a good understanding of the application landscape

Experience with programmable controllers (PLCs), software platforms, ecosystems, reusable libraries, software licensing, IP management, or industrial software release processes is a strong advantage

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.
