The posting

Thank you for your interest in Birn+Partners. It means a great deal to us.

We are on an ambitious journey to establish Birn+Partners as a Top 10 Executive Search and Leadership Consulting firm across Europe. To get there, we are building a team of consultants who are not only deeply skilled in their craft, but who are commercial, client-driven, and motivated by growth both their own and our clients.

If you are someone who thrives on building relationships, opening doors, and creating real commercial impact, we want to hear from you.

As Head of Board Services, you will own the development and growth of Birn+Partners' board services business in Finland. You won't be starting from zero: we have already run our Nordic Board Education programmes in Finland with real success, the next intake begins again in the autumn —and across the Nordics these have been part of our work for years. The groundwork is well under way. But Board Services covers far more than that.

The role sits at the heart of what we do, where executive search, consulting, and board advisory come together. The Nordic model of board work is our strength, and we combine it with an international network and practical expertise. We believe strong boards build strong companies. We offer education, recruitment, and assessment all built on the Nordic board tradition and on international know-how. We help leaders grow into board professionals, and we help companies find the right people for their boards. Together, we are building better board work across the Nordics.

The role

  • Build and develop our Board Services business: Board Search, Board Advisory, Nordic Board Education, Board Readiness, and Board Room+
  • Work closely with the executive search and consulting teams
  • Develop and grow our unique Nordic Board Education concept in Finland and as part of our wider Nordic collaboration
  • Build and maintain networks among board professionals, owners, and senior leadership
  • Act as a trusted sparring partner to clients on board work, governance, and leadership.

What we are looking for: Someone who understands board work and can build a business around it.

  • A genuine interest in making the boards of Finnish companies better
  • A hands-on, well-organised way of working
  • Experience in board work, board advisory roles, or senior leadership positions
  • A strong understanding of governance questions and of developing board work, or of working alongside a board
  • The ability to build and grow a business
  • Broad networks among company leadership, owners, and board professionals
  • A consultative working style that earns trust
  • The willingness to roll up your sleeves and organise things and events
  • Fluent Finnish and English (Swedish is an advantage).

What we offer

  • The chance to build and lead the Board Services business in Finland
  • A strong international platform (Nordics + Europe)
  • Collaboration with experienced executive search and consulting professionals
  • An entrepreneurial, growth-minded culture
  • A competitive and motivating reward model
  • Great team spirit and a community where every one of us operates with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Why this role, now

The role of the board in steering company strategy and growth keeps growing in importance. At the same time, the need for international perspective, diversity, and developing expertise is rising. Board collaboration among Nordic companies is becoming an ever more central strategic factor. The future of Finnish and Nordic companies will be built on increasingly strong boards.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
