At Nordic we look for leaders with a passion and ability to lead and develop both people and high-performing teams, empowering

others to succeed and grow while creating value for Nordic. You create clarity, communicate the bigger picture, and set direction

and priorities the team can act on.

Just as important is how you handle yourself. Self-awareness and a drive to continuously develop yourself as a leader is

important, alongside strong business acumen. You take ownership of outcomes and dependencies, acting as a role model for Nordic

values through proactive, creative leadership that drives best-in-class solutions. You make trade-offs and decisions explicit and

visible rather than letting them stay implicit and managed quietly.

You let the overall best interests of Nordic guide your decision-making, while keeping both short- and long-term perspectives in

mind. Deep technical or domain credibility matters, but what we’re hiring for is the ability to build capability in others and the

organization around you, including building a talent pool and pipeline and attracting industry-leading talent.

Working at Nordic, you will be inspired and supported to develop yourself. Our teams enjoy a professional and informal working

environment. We value and encourage the continuous development of skills and expertise to the highest levels. We are proud of our

Norwegian heritage, our highly skilled international workforce, and our world-leading innovation.

We offer a variety of tasks and projects, and the possibility to work alongside some of the world’s most renowned experts within

their field. We encourage our employees to question the established and innovate while expecting professionalism, commitment, and

the will to learn.
