Help Us Turn Curiosity Into Commercial Success

The mission

If you’ve spent years helping teams move from “this could be interesting” to “we have real traction”, this is the kind of playground you’ll help create at Highsoft.

Highsoft is the company behind Highcharts, one of the world’s most widely used JavaScript charting libraries, trusted by 80 of the top 100 global companies. You won’t be starting from zero – you’ll be exploring what’s next: new products, new business models, and new ways to create value on top of a strong global position.

You’ll join a small, focused Innovation Team with a clear mandate to:

• explore and shape new products and business opportunities

• validate them quickly with real users and customers

• and prepare the strongest ones for early commercialization and investment decisions.

If you enjoy owning that messy, exciting space between idea and market — experiments, pilots, signals, and go/no-go calls — you’ll have both the freedom and responsibility to do exactly that here.

The job

In the role as Innovation-to-Market Specialist, you’ll be the bridge between exploration (R&D) and early market traction. Your mission is to help Highsoft validate, shape, and prepare new concepts for their first customer engagements.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Turning early-stage ideas into structured validation and go-to-market experiments.

• Engaging pilot customers and early adopters to test value propositions and assess market fit.

• Working across teams to evaluate market potential, technical feasibility, and business model fit.

• Building business cases for staged investments from pre-seed to growth.

• Capturing and sharing learnings across the organization to strengthen decision-making and innovation capability.

Who you are

You’re curious, analytical, and hands-on — someone who enjoys navigating the creative tension between exploring opportunities and making things happen. You may come from product management, business development, innovation, or a related field.

You bring:

• Experience with idea validation, customer testing, and early product development.

• Familiarity with methods like Lean Startup, Design Thinking, or Business Model Generation.

• Practical understanding of SaaS or software-based business models.

• An ability to bring structure into uncertainty and turn insights into action.

• Solid collaboration and communication skills.

• Fluency in English, written and spoken.

We’re a Norwegian tech success story rooted in Vik i Sogn, surrounded by fjords and mountains that inspire both our culture and creativity. With additional offices in Bergen (Media City) and Sogndal (Rockethouse), we combine global impact with local charm - and a big dose of curiosity, collaboration, and good humour.

Here’s what you can expect:
🔹 Tech-Centric Culture: Join a team that understands and thrives in the tech world, paired with lots of laughter, darts, coffee, and the occasional mountain stroll.
🔹 Professional Growth: From workshops to mentoring, we invest in your development.
🔹 Purpose-driven work: We’re Eco Lighthouse-certified and part of the UN Global Compact, committed to sustainability and responsible practices.
🔹 Work-life balance: Flexible hours and options for work-away arrangements.
