This is a rare opportunity for an entrepreneurial leader to shape the strategy, setup and culture of a new business, backed by an international group that is one of Europe’s leading players in NPL investment and servicing.

Reporting directly to the EOS Group Board, you will set the strategic agenda for EOS Sweden, allocate capital and drive performance across unsecured and secured NPL portfolios. You will originate and lead the first transactions in the Swedish market, build strategic partnerships and actively steer portfolio performance to deliver strong returns and sustainable growth.

  • Compliance & risk: Ensure compliance with Swedish regulatory requirements and manage risk across all business activities

This is what you bring to the table

  • Investment & portfolio experience: Extensive experience (10+ years) in NPL investments and/or servicing, distressed debt, real estate finance, investment banking or related fields, with a proven history of leading transactions and managing portfolios independently
  • Business building: Demonstrated track record in building organizations or business units from scratch, ideally in a start-up, market-entry or greenfield context
  • Academic background: Strong academic background in Finance, Economics, Law or Business Administration; an MBA from a leading international business school, a CFA charter or an equivalent qualification is a strong plus
  • Market knowledge & network: Deep understanding of the Nordic financial markets and regulatory landscape, with an established network among banks and market participants in the region
  • Leadership: Proven leadership skills with the ability to inspire and align teams across functions
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: Hands-on, entrepreneurial drive and analytical thinking, enabling sound, fact-based decision-making in complex situations and with lean resources at the start
  • Language skills: Fluency in English and in Swedish

This is what we bring to the table

  • Full autonomy: End-to-end ownership of EOS Sweden, from strategy and operating model to team and first deals
  • Expertise on call: Direct access to the EOS Group holding’s expertise in deal-making, investments, best practices and legal – built on proven experience from more than 25 countries
