Qualifications

• 4–8 years of experience in management or strategy consulting, private equity portfolio operations, transaction or integration services, business transformation, or operating roles in software/tech.
• Hands-on experience with M&A integration and post-acquisition transformation; exposure to carve-outs or multi-company integrations is a plus.

• Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives from diagnosis through execution and measurable results; people-management experience is a plus.
• Commercial instinct across sales, pricing, and go-to-market, and comfort working across product, operations, and finance.
• Comfort with emerging technologies, including AI, and familiarity with agile and digital transformation approaches.
• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, economics, or related field; an MBA or advanced degree is a strong asset.
• Fluency in English and Swedish, written and spoken; other Nordic languages are an asset.
• Based in Sweden, with the ability to travel up to 25% for on-site integration and portfolio work.

Responsibilities

• Lead post-acquisition integration — Plan and execute integration of newly acquired companies, including 100-day plans, organizational alignment, and harmonization of processes, systems, and policies.
• Drive operational efficiency — Assess existing workflows, structures, and systems; identify opportunities for cost reduction, margin improvement, and revenue growth, and see them through to results.
• Modernize systems and tooling — Partner with IT and functional leaders to integrate and rationalize core systems (ERP, CRM, billing, support) and lead automation and AI-driven initiatives that improve efficiency and decision‑making.
• Lead change — Engage leadership and functional teams (finance, sales, operations, product, IT) to secure buy‑in, develop communication and training plans, and drive adoption of new ways of working.
• Measure what matters — Establish KPIs for each initiative, track impact, and report progress and recommendations to group leadership.
• Manage financials and risk — Build business cases, analyze financial impact and ROI, support budgeting and forecasting, and identify and mitigate execution risks.
• Sharpen go‑to‑market — Work with sales and marketing teams on pricing, packaging, cross‑sell, and market penetration across the Nordic portfolio.
• Deepen customer value — Drive improvements in retention, satisfaction, and lifetime value, and help embed a culture of customer‑led innovation.
• Shape the product portfolio — Contribute to market‑aligned product roadmaps and help bring new products and capabilities — including AI — to market.
• Evolve the operating model — Help move businesses toward clear business‑unit ownership and accountability, with transparency, discipline, and incentives to scale.
• Own performance and outcomes — Take full accountability for revenue, EBITDA, and cash flow, with disciplined capital allocation and predictable financial performance.
• Set strategic direction — Define and execute the strategy for the business's next phase of growth across markets, segments, and channels.
• Lead and grow the organization — Build and develop high‑performing teams and a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Oversee a portfolio — Over time, support the leadership teams of several businesses at once, and contribute to sourcing, diligence, and integration planning for new acquisitions in the Nordics.
