Are you driven by turning complex distribution data into insights that influence real business decisions? Would you thrive in a role where success is measured not by the number of produced reports, but rather by the quality of recommendations and their impact?
Ambu is looking for a Business Analyst, Global Distribution to be based at our HQ in Ballerup to strengthen fact-based decision-making across our global distribution network.
You will join the Global Distribution team within Global Supply Chain at Ambu. The team works globally to optimize and govern Ambu’s distribution setup, ensuring reliable, compliant, and cost-efficient delivery of medical devices to customers worldwide. You will report directly to Director of Global Distribution.

Working at the intersection of data, operations, and business decision-making, you will partner closely with Global Distribution, Finance, and other key business stakeholders.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Acting as a trusted analytical partner to stakeholders by communicating insights and recommendations clearly, concisely, and with a strong business focus
- Developing clear, fact-based scenarios and recommendations that quantify impact on cost, service level, and risk, making trade-offs transparent for decision-makers
