Managing Director Track

About Edelweiss Software Group

Edelweiss Software Group is an operating group of Valsoft Corporation, serving as a permanent basecamp for vertical market software companies. Our philosophy is simple: your company leads; we support the ascent. With a buy-and-hold-forever approach, Edelweiss preserves each company's brand and provides the steady guidance, capital, and resources needed to keep both products and people moving upward. We form long-term strategic alliances with existing management teams — we don't buy to sell — placing a premium on the well-being of customers and employees over short-term goals.

The Role

We are seeking an ambitious, operationally minded leader to join our Nordic operations in a role designed as a development path to general management. You will start in a Business Transformation capacity — leading the integration of newly acquired businesses and driving operational improvement across the group's Nordic software companies — and, as you prove yourself, take on progressively greater commercial and P&L responsibility, ultimately running one or more software businesses as a Managing Director or Portfolio Manager.

This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to learn how great software businesses are run by actually running them. You will work side by side with experienced operators, get direct exposure to every function — product, sales, finance, operations, and people — and be backed by Valsoft's long-term investment model, playbooks, and global network.

• Lead post-acquisition integration — Plan and execute integration of newly acquired companies, including 100-day plans, organizational alignment, and harmonization of processes, systems, and policies.

• Modernize systems and tooling — Partner with IT and functional leaders to integrate and rationalize core systems (ERP, CRM, billing, support) and lead automation and AI-driven initiatives that improve efficiency and decision-making.

• Lead change — Engage leadership and functional teams (finance, sales, operations, product, IT) to secure buy-in, develop communication and training plans, and drive adoption of new ways of working.

• Measure what matters — Establish KPIs for each initiative, track impact, and report progress and recommendations to group leadership.

• Manage financials and risk — Build business cases, analyze financial impact and ROI, support budgeting and forecasting, and identify and mitigate execution risks.

Commercial & Operating Leadership

• Sharpen go-to-market — Work with sales and marketing teams on pricing, packaging, cross-sell, and market penetration across the Nordic portfolio.

• Deepen customer value — Drive improvements in retention, satisfaction, and lifetime value, and help embed a culture of customer-led innovation.

• Shape the product portfolio — Contribute to market-aligned product roadmaps and help bring new products and capabilities — including AI — to market.

• Evolve the operating model — Help move businesses toward clear business-unit ownership and accountability, with the transparency, discipline, and
