Sales Project Assistant

Our Sales team in our global headquarters in Randers is looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Sales Project Assistant to join our sales support department called Engineered Solutions. The department consists of 8 experienced sales engineers located in Randers, Portugal, and France. We support our global sales team in their daily work of selling energy projects, and we are the sales team's key knowledge centre and helping hand.

Join us on May 1, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and become part of a motivated global team that shares knowledge to make each other good.

In the role of Sales Project Assistant, you will assist the Engineered Solutions team in two main areas: You will be part of the daily sales work through which you will learn how we work with sales internationally, and you will get to know our products and organisation. Parallel to the daily sales work, you will be involved in our strategic work to improve our sales processes. This part of the job will be small projects where you collaborate with colleagues from other departments, such as finance, supply chain, customer support, etc.

Your main responsibilities
As our new Sales Project Assistant, your main responsibility will be to support our sales team. In Randers, that will be people working in sales support, project management, business development and product management.

Your main tasks will include:

• Make progress reports on our strategic projects and sales process improvement projects
• Maintaining an overview of our largest customers
• Help collect and analyse info on competitors and structure the information within the Teams group
• Following up on and updating our sales pipeline in our CRM system
• Preparing and following up on meetings
• Assisting with ad-hoc tasks, including supporting Bid Managers with tools and sales projects

Your profile
We imagine that you are a commercial, administrative, or technical student with a commercial mindset searching for opportunities as an apprentice. Alternatively, you may have an administrative background with an interest in sales.

We expect you to:

• Be able to prioritise tasks based on project needs and deadlines
• Be fluent in English, both written and verbal.
• Have good IT skills with knowledge of MS Office and Teams.
• Have a relevant commercial background (a plus, but not required)

As a person, you:

• Work effectively in a team environment and value open communication
• Approach tasks methodically with attention to detail
• Are open-minded and flexible, welcoming new ideas and adapting to change
• Have the courage to challenge existing methods and suggest alternatives
• Focus on delivering meaningful results with every task
• Demonstrate integrity and professionalism in all actions
• Have a customer-oriented mindset with an interest in the technical aspects of the business
• Are communicative and comfortable interacting with different stakeholders and colleagues.
• Are curious, eager to learn, structured, and able to take on tasks independently.

We don’t expect applicants to meet 100% of the criteria above—you may have valuable skills we haven’t even thought of! If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply, regardless of your background.

And what’s in it for you?
While your primary task is to assist key stakeholders, you will also become an integral team member, and your ideas, suggestions, and feedback will be valued. You will join an informal working environment with room for people of all kinds and backgrounds. Your new colleagues are looking forward to welcoming you and sharing their knowledge.

In your first weeks here, you will participate in a detailed onboarding and introduction process. You will have access to an array of benefits, such as:

• Health and accident insurance
• A healthy and tasty lunch and breakfast buffet
• Access to fitness facilities
• and much more.

We enjoy each other’s company and often get together outside of work for social activities such as padel, football, and more.
