Job description
COMMERCIAL AND PORTFOLY STRATEGY DIRECTOR
The Business Hub is Visma e-conomic's value creation engine for a small, fast-moving portfolio of products, each serving its customers with its own individual product. Every one arrives with a distinct history and potential – and the Hub is where that potential is turned into growth, at a time of real volatility, uncertainty and opportunity in a market being reshaped by AI and new business models.
It's about building lasting growth, with genuine variety across different products and stages, and none of the churn of a portfolio built to be flipped.
This newly created role sits at the heart of the Business Hub's leadership team. As Director of Commercial and Portfolio Strategy, you build each product's value creation plan and own the commercial and strategic direction that gets it there – acting as the commercial counterpart to every product in the portfolio, and moving between portfolio-level strategy and hands-on work with each product's team.
You report to Emilie, COO and Head of Business Hub, and sit on the Business Hub Leadership Team alongside the Director of Product & Engineering and the Director of Integration & Operations. You will lead 15+ people across the portfolio’s commercial functions, including the Commercial Leads appointed in each product.
This is a chance to join at the start: a newly created role, a seat in a small leadership team, and a direct line to Emilie. You'll shape the method from day one and grow with the task as the portfolio grows.
Every product has a clear endgame and runway – stand-alone growth, integration into e-conomic, or a hybrid of both – based on your assessment and agreed with e-conomic Management.
Every product has a value creation plan that shows how it reaches its targets over a defined period.
Each product’s value streams are turned into a commercial plan and driven through execution together with its Commercial Lead.
The Hub pursues the commercial synergy cases that matter most, including cross-sell and attach into the e-conomic and wider Visma base.
Every new company is worked through a structured, repeatable value creation method that you develop and maintain.
Portfolio priorities reflect the commercial and value creation view, so the Hub focuses where the growth potential is greatest.
Each product in our portfolio has its own commercial history and momentum. You'll bring the strong commercial expertise needed to build on that, developing and executing strategies tailored to each business.
Commercially sharp – you can read a product's value streams, spot where the real earning potential sits, and move fast to capture it.
Deep, hands-on expertise in value creation or commercial strategy, gained in a private equity, consulting, or in-house product-portfolio setting, with the credibility to earn trust with strong, opinionated product leadership.
A genuine passion for leadership – you enjoy building, coaching and developing people, including senior and specialist profiles.
An outside-the-box thinker, just as comfortable setting direction as getting hands-on to make it happen, with a bias for building structure in unknown territory rather than waiting for it.
Strong analytics and business casing, plus a solid grasp of modern SaaS commercial models and how AI is reshaping product value and pricing.
A natural fit within a small, senior leadership team, working in close alignment with peers who lead adjacent parts of the Hub (Product & Engineering, Integration & Operations).
Fluent Danish, spoken and written, alongside excellent English.
a track record of driving a growth plan through execution, and experience in Danish or Nordic markets alongside globally distributed teams.
If helping products turn their potential into real growth sounds like your kind of challenge, here's a glimpse of what's in it for you – we'll get into the rest, and the role itself, once we're going through the interviews.
- Flexible Work Life: Adapt your work environment and hours to suit your lifestyle, with hybrid options available.
- Family First: Unlimited child sick days.
- Global Vibes: An international workplace with +30 nationalities.
- Well-being: Access a range of services to support your physical and mental health.
- Security: Comprehensive health insurance and company-paid pension.
- Tech Choice: Select your preferred gear, be it Mac or Windows.
- Prime Location: Located in Carlsberg Byen, equipped with the latest facilities.
