Vacant job

When Dockspot was founded in 2009 in Smögen, the vision was to book a marina spot as easily as booking a hotel. Today, we are one of the leading digital booking platforms for boat spots in the Nordics with over 200 destinations. Since 2021, we are part of the world's largest marina network – Safe Harbor Marinas.

We are still a small, entrepreneur-driven company based in Gothenburg, but with a global player backing us and close collaboration. We are now facing our next step, which is why we are looking for a Managing Director who wants to take the helm.

As Managing Director

Here you step into a central role with ultimate responsibility for the business. You lead and develop a SaaS-based business while being close to the daily operations. With one foot in strategic decisions and the other in operational reality, you are engaged in everything from setting direction and building structure to meeting customers and creating long-term relationships. The pace and tasks shift throughout the year; spring is characterized by travel and business development where new relationships are built and agreements are made, summer means full focus on support for the marinas when the pressure is at its highest, and autumn is dedicated to follow-up and further development together with both new and existing partners.

With a clear growth focus and an entrepreneurial mindset, you are the one who keeps the course and drives the company forward, both in the local market and internationally. This is a role for you who enjoys rolling up your sleeves and being where it really happens – especially during the peak season from June to August, when it requires that it is “all hands on deck.” You are as much a strategist as a doer, and you thrive best in a role where you can combine both.

You will among other things:

• Identify new markets and develop the business in both Sweden and Europe
• Have personnel responsibility for the small but driven team
• Create and develop internal processes
• Develop and strengthen relationships with new and existing customers
• Ensure and further develop our platform
• Report to the owner group Safe Harbor Marinas
• Regular travel within Europe is expected
• From time to time, you and the team will gather in Gothenburg to share ideas, strengthen collaboration, and drive development forward

About you

You are driven by building companies and have experience from smaller organizations where initiative and relationship-building are crucial for success. With a strong commercial focus, you enjoy switching between operational tasks and strategic decisions – always with the business in focus. Identifying needs, creating structure, and establishing new ways of working are things you appreciate. As a person, you are flexible and solution-oriented, with a natural ability to create security and engagement.

• Several years of experience as COO, sales manager, or similar in a smaller company
• Have been a key person in a growth journey and are ready to do it again
• Experience in the marine industry
• Experience in SaaS/digital sales
• Fluent in Swedish and English, both spoken and written
• Driver's license

PS. In parallel with this recruitment, we will also hire a Business Development Manager, who will be your close colleague in the development of the company – with a particular focus on sales and growth. Perhaps you know someone who also wants to be involved? Then there is the opportunity to come on board together.
