Head of Communication & PR
We are Visma Software Nordic, a leading SaaS ERP provider in the Nordics. We simplify complex processes with smart technology and combine unified solutions with strong local expertise.
Visma Software Nordic is building one of the most significant brand transformations in Nordic B2B software, and we are looking for a Head of Communication & PR to lead the communications strategy as a vital part of making it happen.
This is a role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategic thinking and hands-on execution - and who knows how to cut through noise in a competitive market.
Location: Oslo. Regular business travels within the Nordics must be expected.
Reports to: Director of Brand, Positioning and Communication
About the Role
As Head of Communication & PR, you will own our external and internal communications agenda across the Nordic markets. You will be the primary architect of our Communication and PR strategy and a key voice in building awareness and credibility for the Visma Software Nordic brand - through earned media, proactive storytelling, and integrated communication.
You will be part of the leadership team for the Brand and Communications department, working closely with the Head of Brand & Marketing and the Head of Product Marketing on integrated plans and activities.
Responsibilities
Communications Strategy: Developing and implementing external and internal communications strategies across Nordic markets, with ownership of earned and owned media.
PR & Media Relations: Leading day-to-day media relations - both proactive and reactive. Planning and executing media activities nationally and internationally, including press releases, opinion pieces, and editorial content.
Spokesperson & Stakeholder Engagement: Acting as a strategic communications partner and spokesperson for Visma Software Nordic. Building and maintaining relationships with journalists, editors, and other key external stakeholders.
Internal Communications: Driving internal communications and supporting employer branding in close collaboration with HR.
Crisis Communications: Leading communications in crisis and preparedness situations, in cooperation with relevant stakeholders.
KPI Tracking: Defining, monitoring, and continuously improving KPIs for PR and communication activities, using data to guide priorities and demonstrate impact.
What We're Looking For
Several years of experience & proven success from a similar in-house role, a media house, or a communications/PR agency
Higher education in communications, journalism, or a related field (minimum bachelor's level)
Strong editorial skills and a proven ability to identify, develop, and tell compelling stories
Excellent written and oral communication skills in at least one Scandinavian language and English
Confidence in the spokesperson role and a solid understanding of how the media landscape works
Experience using AI tools as part of your daily workflow
Strong business understanding, preferably in SaaS or other B2B software - and the ability to translate complex topics into clear, engaging narratives
A proactive, hands-on attitude: you are equally comfortable setting strategy and writing a press release yourself
Why Visma Software?
You will have a central role in shaping the market position of one of the largest software companies in the Nordics - at a moment of real strategic significance. We offer a highly skilled, collaborative environment, competitive terms, and strong opportunities for professional development.
