Your team

Over the past years, we have been building an attractive portfolio and seek to offer support as an active partner in close collaboration with our other in-house teams such as Finance, Business Development and Legal as well as with our external network. In Investments and M&A you will become part of a lean, but ambitious and agile team with a flat hierarchy and an informal atmosphere. We are high performers depending on each other’s efforts why trust and collaboration are key.

The job

As our Investment Manager, you will play a key role in HEARTLAND’s investment activities as an analytical and process-oriented contributor across M&A and portfolio management. You will help guide companies in the right strategic direction and use HEARTLAND’s network to involve the right stakeholders. This gives you broad exposure and close collaboration across all stakeholder levels.

You will be hands-on throughout the investment process and work with a varied range of companies, from early-stage start-ups to more mature companies. The extent of your responsibility will be based on qualifications and performance revolving around the following:

  • Project management of M&A activities, including due diligence, transaction processes and investment recommendations
  • Portfolio management, including strategic support, performance monitoring and sparring with relevant stakeholders including board of directors and management
  • Handling in- and outbound deal flows involving case screening and evaluation of opportunities
  • Market research and analysis
  • Contribution to internal reporting, preparation of decision basis and continuous process improvements

Why join us?

  • Significant opportunities for both personal and professional growth within a smaller, agile organisation where you quickly gain responsibility and influence.
  • A dynamic and varied workday with diverse cases and collaboration across our international portfolio.
  • A unique investment setup that combines long-term value creation with agility and a bold investment approach.
  • Fast-paced environment with a desire and ability to move fast when the right opportunities arise.

Hands-on and business-minded team player

You are naturally business-minded and have a strong understanding of how companies operate in both startup environments and more mature organisations. You collaborate well across functions and build strong, trust-based relationships with stakeholders at all levels. As an individual, you are determined, take ownership of your tasks, and work in a structured and reliable manner. You pay attention to detail and quality, communicate clearly, and bring strong drive and curiosity to a dynamic environment. We imagine you bring:

  • Solid experience from investment banking, corporate finance, venture funds, consultancy, in-house M&A, business development and/or as a successful founder, giving you a strong understanding of investments and portfolio management
  • Advanced business understanding and commercial acumen – familiarity with segments such as Fashion, Consumer Goods or Tech/Software is beneficial but not a requirement
  • A Master’s degree in finance, economics, cand.merc. or a similar relevant field
  • Fluent in Danish and English, both written and spoken
