Client Lead in Europe's fastest growing AI-native creative agency

About the Role

Ember is a leading Creative AI-agency located in Oslo which has set out to revolutionize the traditional agency market. We deliver digital creatives for paid social, web, and lifecycle marketing, for some of the world's most innovative brands in fashion, luxury, cosmetics and F&B.

You jump into onboarding, get up to speed on each brand fast, and make sure every client feels understood and well-served from first brief to final delivery. You work closely with an award-winning team of designers, art directors, and technological innovators, and you play an active role in Ember's commercial strategy by turning great delivery into growth. This is a full time, on-site role in Oslo.

About the Vergence Group

Vergence is a new model for building companies. We are a co-company builder for the modern era – not a fund, not an incubator, not an advisor. We don’t just deploy capital – we do the work.

We build, operate, and scale companies side by side with founders and investors. Our core belief is that AI has erased the traditional limits on how fast – and how far – companies can grow. What used to take years now happens in months, soon in weeks. However, while speed may not compromise quality, it doesn’t simplify success. Building large and sustainable businesses has never been harder: product, strategy, brand, design, marketing, recruiting, culture, funding – every discipline is high-stakes, and unforgiving when done poorly.

We operate through a focused portfolio of high-growth ventures in e-commerce, real estate, healthtech, recruitment, and advanced visualization. This includes companies like Marketer.com, Plot.ai, Staffer.com, and Marketer Real Estate Technologies. We serve thousands of clients all over the world, from small SMBs in California, to large real estate developers like Skanska, Selvaag and OBOS, and agencies like DNB Eiendom, Sotheby’s, ERA and C21. 

We have launched 10 ventures so far. Several are already profitable, and 9/10 are either growing fast or executing on highly ambitious roadmaps. In total, we have sold products for more than NOK 1 billion, and currently with 70% of new revenue coming from the US market. Vergence is backed by several solid and long-term investors like Idékapital, MP Pensjon, Altitude Capital, Kvantia and the founder of Adyen.
