Job description

Avensia is looking for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) who combines strong financial leadership with business acumen and a genuine interest in technology, automation and AI.

Who are we?

We are a tech & knowledge company specializing in modern commerce. As Avensians, we help brands like Apotek Hjärtat, Nordic Nest, Rusta, Kappahl and Lyko create seamless digital experiences - combining strategy, technology, and real business impact. Avensia is a global group with a presence in several countries, generating approximately SEK 423 million in revenue in 2025.

At Avensia, we thrive together, we care deeply about our customers’ success, and we challenge ourselves to keep pushing the boundaries of modern commerce. We believe the best solutions are created in strong teams where curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine passion for what we do come together.

Why you’ll like it here

• A key role in shaping the continued development of an international, listed tech company

• Colleagues who care – about the work and each other

• A culture built on collaboration, curiosity and continuous development

• Social activities, team events and a strong sense of community

• Flexibility in how and where you work

What you’ll do

As CFO, you will have overall responsibility for the financial management, statutory reporting, compliance and financing of the Avensia Group. You will be a member of the Group Management Team and a close strategic partner to the CEO, Board of Directors and our operating businesses. You will lead an international team and play an important role in turning financial data into insights that support Avensia's continued development and growth.

Some of your responsibilities include:

• Financial Management & Analysis: Ensure high-quality financial management and controlling, with a focus on margins, cash flow, operational efficiency and timely decision support.

• Financial Reporting & Compliance: Take overall responsibility for statutory financial reporting, internal controls and risk management in accordance with the requirements for a company listed on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market.

• International Leadership: Lead and develop the Finance and IT organisation, comprising ten employees across Sweden and the Philippines, with four direct reports.

• Automation & AI Transformation: Drive the digitalisation of Finance through smarter systems, automation and AI to improve efficiency in accounting, reporting and financial analysis.

What makes you a great fit

The role requires a strong balance between ensuring high quality and compliance in a listed-company environment and providing modern, technology-driven leadership that continues to develop the Finance function globally.

We therefore believe that you have:

• A university degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or an equivalent qualification.

• Solidexperience in senior finance roles, ideally as CFO, Finance Director or in a comparable leadership position.

• Previous experience with statutory financial reporting and regulatory requirements in a listed company.

• A proven track record of leading change within Finance.

• A genuine interest in modern technology and how AI and automation can shift Finance from manual processes towards more strategic and value-adding analysis.

• Experience leading and developing teams remotely, preferably in an international environment, and the ability to build culture and engagement across borders.

• A strong business-oriented and analytical mindset, with the ability to turn financial data into actionable insights and high-quality decision support for the CEO and Board.

Full professional proficiency in both Swedish and English, written and spoken.
