Job description

What you’ll be doing:

• Sourcing – uncovering new deals and forming relationships with entrepreneurs across multiple sectors and markets
• Diligence – supporting market, financial, and commercial DD alongside the existing investment team
• Networking – representing Northzone in the Nordic and broader European ecosystem, connecting with founders, investors, operators, and customers both 1-on-1 and at events
• Thesis building – developing new ideas in new markets that will lead to your sector expertise over time
• Portfolio support – working with our existing founders and their teams, increasing your exposure as you spend time with us, on strategic work in and around the portfolio

We encourage all Northzoners to build relationships across all of our offices, with multiple opportunities a year to meet in person and maintain the culture that we’re proud of. We also encourage all new members of the team to build new initiatives. Over time, we offer the opportunity to leverage your investor toolkit to build leadership skills and grow within the organization.

About Northzone

Northzone (northzone.com) is a global multi-stage venture capital firm built on decades of experience spanning multiple economic and disruptive technology cycles. Founded in 1996, we’ve raised more than ten funds. We’re currently investing out of a $1.2bn fund to partner with founders across sectors, including AI, SaaS, healthcare, fintech, consumer, and everything in between. We’re proud to be an early partner to daring entrepreneurs who want to shape the world. We’ve had the privilege to work with generational companies like Spotify, Klarna, Spring Health, Personio, Thirty Madison, Trustpilot, and many more. We emphasize a transparent, meritocratic, and entrepreneurial culture, and we have offices across the world in New York, London, Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Berlin.

Requirements

We’re looking for:

• A natural networker – do you know where the best founders are? How plugged in are you to the tech world? Do you have a natural love for connecting with change‑makers?
• An analytical superstar – how easily do you spot commercial trends? Are you able to derive information and decisions from very little data? How quickly can your gut decide if something is exciting or not?
• A low‑ego self‑starter – are you able to thrive without needing close management? Do you find yourself drawn into new areas by your own curiosity? Do you always strive for greatness while also celebrating others’ success?
• Someone at the start of their career – do you have 2-3 years of experience in a high‑intensity and rigorous environment such as banking/consulting/VC
  • Experience in VC or high‑growth tech startup is a plus
• Right to work in Sweden

We welcome those from all walks of life at Northzone, and celebrate those who haven’t always taken the beaten path. We want people driven by curiosity with an entrepreneurial mindset, ready to embrace the uncertainty of this world and the investment ecosystem. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t fit all the above criteria.
