The posting

Do you thrive on creating business value, leading people and bringing pioneering technology to market? Would you like to spearhead a company developing innovative solutions for growing international markets?

Our client is looking for a CEO to lead its next phase, working closely with the engineers and scientists behind the company's technology. You will develop the business, bring the organisation together around clear priorities and build the international relationships that turn technical progress into commercial opportunities.

This is an opportunity to lead the commercialization of proprietary technology, combining the expertise of a highly qualified technical team with your own ability to build an international business.

Does this sound like the opportunity for you? Read on.

About the role

As CEO, you will lead and develop the company across its two business areas. You will shape the business strategy with the board and take responsibility for its execution within the agreed budget, translating it into priorities and shared goals.

You will act on and create business opportunities and personally drive key commercial relationships and negotiations. Working closely with the technical leadership, CFO/COO and board, you will unite customer needs, technical capabilities and financial priorities.

The role calls for commercial judgement and enough technical understanding to work confidently with customers, partners and specialists. You will draw on the expertise within the organisation while taking responsibility for decisions, direction and progress.

The company is based in Gothenburg, Sweden. The role requires regular on-site presence with the team and international travel.

In this role you will

  • Develop and execute the commercial direction in alignment with the board, focusing on markets and opportunities with the strongest commercial potential.
  • Use and develop your international network to build relationships with industrial customers and partners.
  • Personally drive complex business opportunities from initial dialogue through negotiation to agreement.
  • Build internal structures, with clear responsibilities, decision-making and follow-up.
  • Lead the organisation towards shared goals, aligning technical development and resources with business priorities.
  • Prioritize resources towards the most attractive opportunities within the agreed budget, taking responsibility for cash flow and funding planning together with the CFO/COO and board.
  • Communicate progress, opportunities and risks clearly to employees, the board and investors.
  • Build relationships with investors and lead capital raising initiatives.

To succeed in this role you will bring

  • Experience leading and developing a technology-intensive business, business unit or commercial function, with responsibility for people, resources and financial results.
  • The ability to turn strategic goals into clear priorities, effective ways of working and measurable progress.
  • A hands-on approach with the ability to deliver results in a small organization with limited resources.
  • A proven record of personally developing and closing complex international B2B technology agreements with industrial customers.
  • A relevant international industry network and experience bringing new technology to market, including customer testing, qualification or development partnerships.
  • Solid technical understanding and commercial experience from technology-driven markets such as advanced electronics, materials, energy technology, industrial technology or related fields.
  • A relevant educational background in technology or business, or equivalent professional experience, excellent English and the ability to travel internationally.

Additional experience we value

Previous CEO responsibility, capital raising and experience in a listed company is valuable. Experience in industrial automation, telecommunications, sensor technology or advanced manufacturing may also be relevant where it includes comparable commercialisation and industrial business development.

Personal qualities

You are a clear and approachable leader who takes responsibility for the whole business. You listen to the expertise around you, make considered decisions and explain the priorities behind them. You enjoy creating opportunities and stay involved in the work needed to move them forward. When conditions change or the way ahead is uncertain, you maintain focus, adapt your approach and keep people informed. You build trust through realistic expectations and consistent follow-through.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
