Vacant job

We are looking for a COO for an open position in Stockholm. A unique opportunity to take a key role in a profitable, self-financed tech company with proven product-market fit – now on the verge of an ambitious growth journey.

As COO, you have overall responsibility for the core operational activities – that is, the delivery that creates customer value and revenue.

The role includes:

• Overall responsibility for operations, including customer relations, proposal production, and central internal processes.
• Building and leading teams, evolving from the current small organization to a scalable structure with significant growth in the number of employees.
• Process and business development, where you continuously improve working methods, structure, and quality as the company grows.
• Close collaboration with the technology function, where AI tools are developed and implemented to further streamline delivery.

This is an operational and entrepreneurial role. Initially, it involves being deeply involved in the delivery yourself to build understanding and create the right structure for scaling.

You will be part of the management team and help shape the company's strategic direction.

Profile

We are looking for a person with documented strong performance and high analytical capacity. You may have a background in management consulting, law, tech, or previous experience scaling a fast-growing company.

To succeed in the role, we require:

We are looking for you who have experience building and leading successful teams and can demonstrate strong results from previous roles. You have likely worked in environments with high ambitions, high tempo, and limited resources, where you have driven growth and development. You have experience scaling operations and know how to maintain quality, culture, and efficiency even as the organization grows.

You are a skilled leader who is passionate about developing people. You have experience attracting, recruiting, and retaining talent, as well as creating a culture where accountability, performance, and learning are central. You know how to build strong teams and develop leaders who, in turn, help others grow.

You work systematically and see the value in clear processes. Creating order in complex environments comes naturally to you, and you have experience building working methods, processes, and follow-up models that contribute to increased efficiency and scalability. You are accustomed to working goal-oriented, tracking key figures, and using data as a basis for prioritization and improvement.

You combine analytical depth with strong business acumen. You easily grasp complex issues, identify areas for improvement, and focus on initiatives that create the greatest value for both customers and the business.

At the same time, you are unpretentious and operational. You thrive when close to the business, understand the importance of details, and are willing to contribute personally where needed. You lead by engaging and creating a fundamental understanding of the business.

As a person, you are ambitious, driven, and humble. You are motivated by developing together with others and thrive in an environment where the pace is high, expectations are clear, and feedback is a natural part of everyday life.

This is a role for you who enjoys building. You will combine strategic leadership with operational execution and be involved in developing the organization, processes, and working methods while delivering results. For the right person, this means a unique opportunity to influence, develop, and grow together with the company.
