Shape the Future of Brand Excellence with Visma as our Group Branding and Marketing Director

After years of tremendous growth, both organically and through acquisitions, Visma is one of the largest software houses in Europe with more than 180 companies across 32 countries in Europe and Latin America.

We develop and deliver software to small businesses, medium and large enterprises, and the public sector – improving the work-life of millions of people around the world. Our software simplifies and automates complex and manual work processes, empowering people’s everyday lives.

Visma is a collection of entrepreneurial companies, each with their own start-up mentality, personality, and leadership. All our companies have business autonomy and go-to-market freedom – a key ingredient to our growth.

We take great pride in our culture (which, independent of our size, is still highly entrepreneurial, informal, and fast-paced) made up of 15,000 friendly and engaged colleagues. We believe that our companies know best how to run their business, but being part of a larger group should add value. And that is where this role comes in! Our international group branding and marketing team, consisting of around 30 people, is in a unique position to not only strengthen the Visma parent brand but to help create memorable product brand identities for our companies. 

As the leader of the Group Branding and Marketing team, you will be responsible for nurturing a culture of creativity, accountability, and collaboration. Your key responsibilities will include guiding our overall brand strategy, overseeing brand design efforts, managing strategic sponsorships, and leading commercial and employer branding initiatives. You will also spearhead web development projects and national branding activities, enhancing Visma’s presence in various markets. Additionally, your role will involve educating and supporting our companies, ensuring they are equipped with the tools and knowledge to thrive.

Ideal candidates will have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field, complemented by substantial senior-level experience in branding and marketing, preferably within the software or tech industry. Experience with successful digital customer journeys is highly valued. Strong leadership skills and excellent communication abilities are essential. You should be comfortable working both strategically and operationally, with a good understanding of financial management and a collaborative spirit.

Visma offers a challenging yet rewarding career where you can make a significant impact on our branding and marketing strategies. You’ll be part of an internationally diverse, dynamic team known for its skilled and friendly colleagues.
