If you share our values, are passionate about business development and solving society challenges, and want to leverage data & AI

in your work, this role could be for you. Read more about the role and apply by 15.8.2026 — we review applications on an ongoing

basis and start conversations with suitable candidates right away, so we encourage you to apply early.

Join our Nordic Public & Security team as a Business Director and help clients transform their businesses through digital, data,

and AI. We are looking for a strategic thinker who loves the thrill of new business development, values an execution-oriented

mindset, and brings a modern understanding of technology over decades of corporate hierarchy.

In this role, your primary playground will be the defence and national security sectors, where you will scale our footprint and

open new doors. Alongside this, you are genuinely motivated to drive impact across the wider Nordic public sector such as

ministries, central government agencies and cities. You will drive a portfolio of both new target prospects and established

accounts. You see the broader public domain as a critical platform where modern data and AI solutions can solve major societal

challenges and build a more resilient society.

Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across Futurice, success means expanding our client base and strengthening strategic

relationships while cultivating a strong, collaborative team culture—because at Futurice, we value achieving goals together over

individual contributions.

• An existing network and experience within the defence and security sectors combined with a genuine motivation to expand this

expertise into the wider Nordic sector.

• Deep insights and an existing network within the Finnish public sector, including a strong grasp of complex procurement and

public tenders.

• The ability to navigate complex sales, lead high-stakes negotiations, and articulate how data, AI, and digital transformation

solve the sector's unique challenges.

• Eligibility for a standard Finnish security clearance (Suojelupoliisin perusmuotoinen turvallisuusselvitys), which requires a

clean background and a verifiable residency history.

The position is permanent and full-time, and can be based in either Helsinki or Tampere. We work flexibly in a hybrid model, but

the role requires regular presence at your home office location as well as some travel in the future within the Nordics.

We support your growth with a wide range of projects, tools, and learning opportunities. Our client portfolio is diverse, offering

a variety of challenges and problem spaces that give you room to explore new areas and develop your skills in meaningful ways.

You’ll be encouraged and inspired throughout your journey by a community of motivated, multidisciplinary colleagues across

development, design, data, AI and strategy.

Your complete compensation package will be discussed in detail during the recruitment process. Our salary model is designed to

offer a range of levels based on three factors: skills, responsibilities and impact. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive

and supportive work environment where every employee has the opportunity to thrive and advance in their career and become better

versions of themselves.

During the initial interview round, we will discuss the salary range for this position. We offer a fixed salary with the

possibility of performance-based bonuses and additional benefits. For this Business Director role, the on-target compensation

varies on a monthly basis depending on the career level.

Does this sound like the opportunity you’ve been looking for? If yes, that’s great news – please submit your application by

15.8.2026!

Our application form is quick and easy: you only need to enter your contact details and upload the relevant attachments. We’d love

to see your CV, along with a few lines about yourself and why you’re interested in joining Futurice and helping our Public &

Security clients develop and grow their business. You can also include a link to your LinkedIn profile and share any other

documents relevant to your application. Please note that the July 2026 holiday season may cause some delays in our response. We

appreciate your patience and will get back to you as soon as possible.

After we receive your application, we’ll be in touch. If you move forward, in the first interview, we’ll get to know each other,

learn about your career story, and tell you more about what everyday life at Futurice looks like. After that, you’ll have a deeper

discussion focusing more closely on your professional skills and ambitions. The interview process also includes a case assignment,

and before making an offer, we will conduct reference checks.

Ever since Futurice was founded, we’ve focused on creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy, Mondays included. We’ve built a

welcoming culture where trust, kindness, and well-being matter as much as great work. Our atmosphere is open and warm, whether

you’re in the office or working remotely. You’ll quickly feel part of the community where coffee chats, virtual fikas, or

after-work hangouts happen naturally.

Because our culture is shaped by all of us, every day, you’ll have an opportunity to influence how we work, connect, and evolve as

a community. Across countries, teams, and time zones, everyone brings their own character, helping shape how we work, connect, and

evolve together.

At Futurice, new joiners aren’t expected to fit into a mold. Come as you are, whatever your background. We believe in the power of

different perspectives, and diversity is a key part of our success at delivering customer value when they trust us with some of

their most challenging and inspiring challenges. You can read more about our DE&I commitment here.
