Business Advisor to Arctic Business in Skellefteå

Do you want to work in an environment where you make people and companies reach the next level?

Arctic Business runs Sweden's northernmost tech incubator and is an important player in the rapid business development in Norrbotten and Västerbotten, both areas driving the new industrialization and the extensive urban transformation. Our business partners use innovation and technology to explore solutions on global markets. By creating new successful growth and export companies, we contribute to increased attractiveness, strengthened competence and welfare in northern Sweden. Our vision is for Norrbotten and northern Västerbotten to be viewed as Sweden's most attractive environment for entrepreneurs, innovative startups and investors in the space, mining and energy industries.

We are proud of the Arctic Business Incubator, which has supported and developed several successful companies from the start. Now we are looking for a committed colleague who wants to be involved in creating the Skellefteå region's next successful companies, like predecessors such as Envigas, Once Upon and Mindforce Game Lab. As our new Business Advisor, you will make people and companies grow.

 More about the role

You will meet people with extraordinary ideas and companies who need help to realize their visions or support in developing their companies. You will work in a field with wide tasks; from financing to commercialization of products, marketing and leading workshops to giving presentations.

An important part of the role is to approach start-ups in Skellefteå and surrounding areas, create good business relations and in a structured way process and support the companies on their journey forward. The Artic Business team consists of other business advisors and specialists in finance, IPR, marketing and recruitment. Together with your colleagues in Skellefteå – Magnus and Conny – you will be based at our new Campus Skellefteå office, close to both university and companies. Travelling will occur, primarily within Västerbotten but also nationally and occasionally internationally. 

Your profile

It’s important that you are business oriented and can make contact and build relations with varied types of partners such as entrepreneurs, universities, business enterprises, venture capitalists and municipalities. To meet the needs of the entrepreneurs and support their development, you need to enjoy working in a structured way according to the methods that Arctic Business uses. You also need to possess good analytical skills as you will evaluate various business ideas and in the long run be able to take on the role as a senior advisor.

Arctic Business is closely linked to Luleå University of Technology and works with proven processes and models, so it is an advantage if you have academic education and experience in technology, sales or marketing. Preferably you have previous experience of personnel responsibility or have run your own business. Fluent English in speech and writing is a requirement since we work in an international environment.
