Help us realize our highly ambitious goals in the Nordic market
Schuberg Philis is looking for an ambitious and self-starting Commercial Director based in the Stockholm area, with a significant network in the financial services industry. In this role, you will be responsible for identifying, creating, and developing new business opportunities and customers relationships within the Nordic financial sector, thereby driving the growth of our organization in this vital region.
Schuberg Philis is originally a Dutch IT company focused on mission-critical projects, operating in environments that are essential to our clients’ businesses. With nearly 25 years of experience, we are recognized as one of the best success stories of the Dutch economy and have grown to over 500 colleagues. Since 2025, Schuberg Philis has been part of Bridgepoint. With deep tech expertise and a pan-European network, we have taken a major leap forward. Together, we are entering a new chapter, one that allows us to scale with intent and strengthen our position in the Noridic market. We are reinforcing our commitment to innovation while remaining steadfast in the principles that have built our strength: delivering on our promises, without exception.
We are a company without bosses. As colleagues, we all share responsibility for ensuring the continuity, growth, and quality of Schuberg Philis. We work together with our customers and each other in the way we believe it should be done. We put experts in the lead and hold teams accountable for the quality delivered to clients. For this quality, we subscribe to 'hundred percent thinking'—which is about much more than just a number. One hundred percent reflects how we approach everything, first and foremost as people and as a team. This mindset leads to exceptionally high scores—for example, in project success rates, the functional uptime of the landscapes we manage, and the technical innovation we achieve together with our clients. Ultimately, this results in exceptional customer satisfaction, as we firmly believe there is always a way to get even closer to that one hundred percent.
The Challenge
We are highly ambitious in the Nordic market. We want to grow, develop ourselves, and increase our impact. Our customers’ needs are evolving, and we are increasingly engaged with the questions beyond IT: the strategic business challenges our customers face. Digital transformation, software development, data science, and business consulting are important pillars of our growth.
As you will work predominantly with customers in the financial services sector, topics such as compliance, regulation, security, and trust are at the heart of every engagement. We place great emphasis on helping our customers navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape and ensuring that their environments are secure and fully compliant. By doing so, we not only build lasting partnerships, but also contribute to safeguarding the reputation and integrity of our clients. We are also committed to experimenting more with our customers to accelerate the meaningful adoption of new technologies. At the same time, we feel a strong drive to make an even greater societal impact. This is an exciting journey, one in which we continually need to reinvent ourselves, creating new opportunities for both individual and organizational growth.
The ideal candidate
To initiate, guide, and accelerate this growth, we are seeking for a commercial leader, with a strong and relevant network within the financial services market, who can set the direction for expansion, people who will help grow our impact with customers and in the market and help build the most outstanding ICT service provider in the Nordics market and beyond. The role features a broad range of responsibilities, matched by a clear mandate to act. We believe that context and empowerment are key to delivering high customer satisfaction. We seek a personality with the following traits:
- Entrepreneurial & Ambitious: You want to take Schuberg Philis to great heights. You are not satisfied with the status quo.

You radiate confidence that real change is possible.

Familiarity with corporate compliance and regulatory frameworks is a plus. You are curious and eager to quickly understand a client’s market and business.
- Relationship Builder: You are skilled at developing relationships and naturally connect with others. Your expertise, curiosity, and empathy serve you well.
- Flexible Communicator: You adapt your communication style to the situation, connect easily at all levels, and can inspire, listen, challenge, and lead. You have excellent proficiency in both Swedish and English.
