Chief Financial Officer

We are looking for a CFO who wants to help build the Nordic region's leading digital wallet.

Over the past few years, we have merged Vipps and MobilePay, built one unified Nordic platform for 12.5 million users and created a profitable core business. Now we are investing further, growing in existing markets and exploring new ones — while competition from global tech giants intensifies. AI is already changing how we develop products, make decisions and work together. That demands leaders who take full ownership, bring people together and deliver.

We are looking for a CFO who makes complex problems simple, challenges when needed and ensures sound decision-making. Someone who wants more than to keep the numbers in order: you will be a key sparring partner for the CEO and the board, and a driving force and owner of strategy, growth, investments, partnerships and M&A — a leader who makes things happen and is fiercely hungry to win.

You are equally at home in board meetings as in day-to-day operations. At Vipps MobilePay, leaders take ownership, challenge established truths and show up where needed. We believe the best results are created when talented people collaborate closely across disciplines, markets and levels.

This is not a traditional CFO role. It is the role for someone who thrives at the intersection of finance, strategy and business development. You combine analytical strength with commercial instinct and lead with customer orientation as your foundation.

⭐ What will you lead?

You will lead the Finance function across the entire Nordic region with a team of around 50 colleagues. The responsibilities span broadly: finance, strategy, corporate development, M&A, payment strategy, legal functions and financial crime prevention.

You will be part of the executive leadership team and work closely with the CEO, the board, owners, external partners and leaders across Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden. The ability to build trust, create direction and bring people with you is just as important as your professional qualifications.

⭐ What you will own and deliver:

1. Setting the direction for growth and investments 🚀 You drive and own the work on growth strategy, new markets, product development and capital allocation. We see significant potential in Sweden and Finland, and continuously evaluate new products, services and geographies. This requires a leader who not only analyses opportunities, but mobilises the organisation to seize them.

2. Sparring partner for the CEO and the board 🎯 You contribute perspectives and analyses that make us better equipped for major decisions, and help us see where to invest, what to deprioritise and how to create maximum value — with the weight and credibility needed to influence where the biggest choices are made.

3. Exploring partnerships and M&A 🤝 You lead the evaluation of acquisitions, partnerships and structural opportunities. This requires strategic instinct, commercial curiosity and the ability to lead complex processes with multiple stakeholders.

4. Building governance that creates momentum ⚙️ You ensure the insight and decision-making foundation that enables us to grow quickly without losing direction. Finance should not be a brake on progress, but an engine for better decisions and smarter growth.

5. Developing Finance for the future 📊 You build a team that does not just report on developments, but shapes them. This is about culture, competence and the use of technology, automation and AI, and about leading people through continuous change.

⭐ Who we think will succeed

• Leadership experience from high-pace environments with big ambitions, preferably with responsibility from large, cross-functional teams
• Background in finance, strategy, corporate development or M&A
• Experience with board work, owners and complex stakeholder landscapes
• Documented ability to build and lead strong teams through growth and change
• Proficiency in English and one or more of the Nordic languages

You bring:

• Clear leadership where you set direction, create confidence and help people perform at their best
• The ability to make complicated things simple and communicate clearly at all levels
• Strong relationship-building skills and a genuine interest in leading people
• Curiosity about technology, AI and automation
• Comfort with both strategic discussions and operational execution

As a person, you are: ambitious, clear, commercial, courageous and team-oriented. You are a culture builder who creates great teams. You set high goals and draw energy from delivering results together with others. You know that winning is as much about how you lead as what you deliver.

⭐ Why join us?

We have built one unified Nordic platform, created a profitable core business and are well positioned to continue investing. Now we are growing in our core markets, taking new positions and continuing to build the leading digital wallet in the Nordic region.

Here you will have significant influence, a central position in the executive leadership team and the opportunity to shape how millions of people pay every single day. You are not just along for the ride — you set the direction.

We make payments very, very simple. Safe, seamless, and done in a flash - just the way it should be.

We’re a Nordic mobile wallet built from two strong foundations: Vipps in Norway and MobilePay in Denmark. Both started with the same idea to make sending money as easy as sending a text. Today, we’ve come together as one of the largest mobile wallets in Europe, making everyday payments easier for millions of people.

We also make it easy for our merchants and partners to dream big, no matter the size of their business.

To keep building the best products for everyone, we believe everyone should be part of creating them. Simple as that. That’s why we welcome people of all backgrounds, genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, religions, abilities, and ages.

If this sounds like a place where you’d feel at home, we’d love to hear from you.
