Shape the Future of a Global Venture Group with Vergence

Shape the Future of a Global Venture Group with Vergence

As our new Group CFO, you will join the senior leadership team with full operational responsibility for the financial dimension of the group. The role is ideal for someone who combines strong financial acumen with a desire to work hands-on, deep within the numbers, but with the ability to translate the data into actionable insights. You will have full responsibility for the finance function, securing accurate and up-to-date accounting and reporting, as well as assisting in shaping how we raise and allocate capital, how we structure and scale our ventures, and how we capture and realize the full value of the group.

You will work closely with the Group CEO, our board, and venture leaders across domains like e-commerce, recruiting, and real estate-- all based on an AI-driven technology platform - including ventures already generating 9-digit revenue figures across the US, Nordics, and Europe.

About Vergence

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.ai, 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.
