About our client

Our client is a pan-european buyout firm, founded more than 20 years ago. The firm has raised multiple fund generations and has expanded successfully beyond its core home markets in Scandinavia into the DACH region, with ambitions for further growth. The firm’s greatest strength is its remarkable culture, which has developed from a group of founding values and principles that sets them apart. This attracts and drives its extraordinary team members and inspires every aspect of their business model.

This opportunity is to join the firm’s value creation unit, focused especially on creating a high impact in the early days of each new investment. Working closely with investment team colleagues and especially with senior portfolio management, this team plans, implements and monitors the initiatives underpinning each individual investment thesis. The role offers an exceptional chance to help shape the development of world-beating businesses, within a unique cultural framework.

There is considerable scope for ambitious and entrepreneurial individuals to develop an operational career within our clients’ portfolio team or a clear path to C-level position.
