Companies in the Everfield ecosystem follow a decentralised model, maintaining their team, brand, and offices, while focusing on what they do best - building products and supporting customers. Everfield provides support in talent acquisition, HR, and access to a team of experts in building and growing European B2B SaaS companies who consult on financial and operational topics. Founded in 2022, Everfield has an ecosystem presence in 9 countries, and growing.

About the Role

As Strategic Business Partner for the Nordics, you will be the main link between Everfield and the management teams of our Nordic portfolio companies. You will lead the onboarding of newly acquired companies and then stay on as their partner on performance and growth, working closely with our central functions.

You will combine entrepreneurial thinking, analytical strength and leadership to get each company onto Everfield’s operating framework and to help its management team grow the business. The work is fast-paced and measured on clear results, with real personal ownership.

What you will do

  • Lead the onboarding of newly acquired software companies across sales, marketing, professional services, support services and research & development.
  • Analyse existing business processes using operational and financial data, then propose and drive the improvements.
  • Build business cases to evaluate and communicate improvement measures to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Work with each CEO on pricing, churn, sales and other commercial levers, and agree the strategic priorities for the company.
  • Work with accounting teams to bring operational and financial data into central systems, including the migration of historical data and processes, and strengthen internal policies and controls.
  • Run regular performance reviews with each company, translating financial and KPI data into clear decisions for management and making sure Everfield standards are met.
  • Advise on best practices in reporting and establishment of uniform structures for reliable and comparable financial data.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of the SBP function, sharing what you learn across portfolio companies and helping refine how we onboard and support them.

Who We Are Looking For

  • 4-8 years of relevant professional experience, ideally with transaction experience (e.g. M&A, integrations, due diligence), preferably in a renowned management consultancy.
  • Experience in the software and technology industry, preferably in a start-up (Series A/B SaaS companies).
  • Strong analytical skills as well as very good knowledge of Excel and PowerPoint for creating financial models, data analyses and business cases.
  • Hands-on experience using AI tools to speed up analysis, reporting and business cases, and curiosity about finding new ways to apply them.
  • Experience in the analysis and optimisation of business processes as well as with KPI-based evaluations and integration projects.
  • Experience in project management as well as the ability to effectively manage cross-functional teams.
  • High self-drive and an independent, solution-oriented way of working.
  • A low-touch approach, with the judgement to give management teams the structure and support they need and then step back.
  • Clear, structured communication, both written and verbal, with strong presentation, negotiation and persuasion skills.
  • Excellent written and spoken English, plus fluency in Danish.
  • Willingness to travel across the Nordics to work with portfolio companies in person.

What We Offer:

  • Attractive salary package with performance-based bonus.
  • Remote Flexibility
  • A collaborative team culture based on respect, ownership, and trust.
  • Benefit from access to international experts within the Everfield ecosystem to accelerate your personal and professional growth.
  • Regular team events and company celebrations.

  • First interview with Talent Acquisition Manager (0.5 h)
  • Second interview with Strategic Business Partner Director, Scott Rochefort (1 h) - Short case exercise: a financial analysis task with a brief presentation of your findings (90 mins)
  • Third interview with HR Director Nordics, Pelle Hojberg (45 mins)
