These skills and experiences will give you good grounds for success:
Experience in the industrial sector, especially manufacturing, and understanding of how companies in areas such as energy, industrial production, construction, transport, and telecom need to evolve in the current market and economic conditions.
Several years of experience in developing and managing client relationships

Curiosity towards the new and humbleness to learn with peers
Ability to lead yourself systematically and tolerate ambiguity at times
Fluent business English and Finnish. Swedish is of benefit as we expand in the Nordics
The position is permanent and full-time, and can be based in either Helsinki or Tampere. We work flexibly in a hybrid model, but the role requires regular presence at your home office location as well as some travel within Finland & Sweden.
