Job Description:

Norrsken Foundation is on a mission to put a positive ding in the universe, by connecting founders with capital, knowledge and network so that they can make saving the world their business. To further this mission, we are hiring a Head of Global Strategic Initiatives to drive the next frontiers of positive impact. This is a global role, based in Norrsken House Stockholm and with substantial travel. You will be reporting directly to our co-CEO, Funda Sezgi and work closely with the management team and the board. Are you ready to be a part of the solution?

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

- You will drive global strategic initiatives to expand Norrsken’s impact. No day will look the same in this role, and it will span from complex strategic thinking to rolling up your sleeves and getting good sh*t done. To give you some flavor, strategic initiatives that we have done in the past:
- Setting up a 200mUSD growth capital fund in Africa
- Drive global expansion from idea to starting construction of a house in Kigali, Rwanda
- Setting up Sweden’s biggest lab for covid-testing and spin it off as a separate company
- Figure out how to license the Norrsken brand and set-up in a new geography in a JV structure
- Collaborating with Harvard professors to develop Impact Weighted Accounting - an approach to price companies externalities and put it on their P&L

We would imagine that strategic initiatives you may be driving in the near term will include:

- Building a global knowhow ecosystem to catalyze Norrsken entrepreneurs
- Map and build a investor network to amplify our reach and impact ecosystem
- Expand Norrsken to the next geography, and lab with the formats to do so
- But we may also be wrong - and you will bring the next idea for elevating impact globally

Your role in these initiatives will be as strategic project leader. To take ideas from aspiration to a concrete action plan, get the relevant people mobilized and iterate on good solutions. The role will provide a variety of tasks and responsibilities and you will be constantly challenged with new projects and ideas. In this role you will definitely get people excited about the future.

Skills:

- 7+ years of experience, ideally within management consulting, strategy, operations from a startup/scale up
- Proven ability to tackle a broad set of tasks, with ability to contribute both in the details as well as to high level strategic discussions
- Strong analytical skills and ability to break down complex problems to concrete steps and synthesize recommendations
- Exceptional project management skills, with strong ownership and drive
- Proven track record of driving change and growth in an international context
- Ideally experience from working in a startup environment

Who you are:

- Someone who genuinely wants to make the world a better place and believes that entrepreneurship can be great driving forces for this
- You enjoy diving into the deep end of the pool and solving hard problems for the first time
- Strategic mindset, with the ability to manage complexity and combine strategic & analytical thinking with a pragmatic approach
- Relationship builder, with strong ability to engage people
- Curious and quick learner, who loves to stay up to date on societal development to maximize the Norrsken Foundations relevance and additionality
- Thrive in a fast paced environment, with comfort in ambiguity, ability to make fast decisions and dare to take risks

A job at Norrsken is like working at a startup. It’s a fast-paced and exciting place to work. Tasks and challenges may be demanding, responsibilities may change over time, but we guarantee that in return we will fast-forward your personal and professional development. And, you’ll get to work in a team of caring people with similar aspirations. Ten years from now, you will be proud of the projects and ideas you have developed and acted on together.

Norrsken is an impact ecosystem where entrepreneurs can find everything they need to make saving the world their business. It is a non-profit foundation, set up by Niklas Adalberth (co-founder of unicorn Klarna).

We run award-winning co-working spaces in Stockholm-Sweden, Kigali-Rwanda and Barcelona-Spain. We incubated several funds, including Norrsken VC -the world's largest early-stage impact VC fund, and Norrsken22, a $200 million growth fund backing exceptional entrepreneurs building Africa’s new tech unicorns.

We run our own global Norrsken Impact Accelerator, and also continue to gather some of the world’s greatest thinkers in the recurring end-of-summer Impact Week.

...But we’re only getting started. We’re now ready for the next stage of our growth journey, and we’re looking for top-tier talent to join our mission of helping entrepreneurs solve the world’s greatest challenges.

Salary & benefits

The position will be based in Stockholm and will likely require substantial traveling.

Salary is 60 000 SEK/month, 7 weeks of vacation and really good benefits.

We encourage you to apply as soon as possible as recruitment is ongoing.

Norrsken wishes to attract, recruit and retain a diverse, inclusive and creative workforce to give us the best opportunity to meet the diverse needs of our members and guests. We actively encourage applications from all groups and communities.
