Join our team – become our new Associate

At Evolver, you get the chance to work closely with entrepreneurs, management teams and colleagues who care deeply about building strong Nordic companies the right way. We invest in small and medium-sized companies in Sweden and Finland and work hands-on with growth, add-on acquisitions, governance and long-term value creation. We are now looking for a new Associate to join the team at an exciting time, with Fund II in active deployment and a growing portfolio across sectors such as automation and IT services. 

You will join Evolver in a phase where new platforms are being built and developed. One example is Avon Group, Evolver’s new Swedish platform within industrial automation, created to build a leading specialist group for customised production systems in Sweden. The platform is built around strong local specialist companies, with value creation driven through collaboration, shared know-how and common ways of working. Alongside this, a new platform within IT services is also being signed, which means that the coming years offer a rare opportunity to be part of both new investments and the practical work of helping platforms grow.

The role

As an Associate at Evolver, you will work with investment analysis, due diligence, valuation, modelling and transaction execution, but also with follow-up and value creation in portfolio companies. Just as importantly, you will gradually take responsibility for driving parts of processes forward, turning analysis into clear recommendations and contributing to how Evolver works as a team. This is a role for someone who wants to grow quickly, take real responsibility and learn through close collaboration rather than from a distance. Evolver’s own career framework is built around exactly that idea: strong development comes from creating visible value in decisions, in projects, in portfolio companies and in the team around you.

We think the best people are often those who combine sharp thinking with curiosity, good judgment and a genuine willingness to work closely with others. You may come from investment banking, consulting, transaction services, private equity or another analytical environment. What matters most is that you enjoy solving difficult problems, have strong analytical ability and want to be part of a small team where people help each other, challenge each other and build together over time.

What you will do

  • Evaluate new investment opportunities through analysis, modelling, valuation and commercial thinking.
  • Take an active role in due diligence and transaction processes.
  • Contribute to value creation in portfolio companies through analysis, follow-up and hands-on project work.
  • Help turn data, findings and discussions into clear recommendations and next steps.
  • Work closely with colleagues, entrepreneurs, management teams and advisers in Sweden and Finland.

What we offer

  • A chance to join a high-quality Nordic private equity team in a very active phase.
  • Meaningful responsibility from day one, with room to grow quickly.
  • A culture built on teamwork, trust, curiosity and active knowledge-sharing.
  • A clear development path where progression is based on the value you create, not just time in role.
  • The opportunity to work with exciting Nordic companies in sectors such as automation and IT services, including newly established platforms and buy-and-build journeys. 

Who we think you are

You are analytically strong, structured and motivated by learning. You enjoy taking responsibility and do not mind rolling up your sleeves when needed. You are able to work carefully with detail, while also wanting to understand what really matters in a business. You communicate clearly, work well with others and want to be part of a team where people support one another and improve together. Fluent English is required, and Swedish or Finnish is an advantage.

You do not need to match a stereotypical profile to thrive at Evolver. We believe strong teams are built through different backgrounds, perspectives and ways of thinking. If you are thoughtful, ambitious and motivated by real responsibility and long-term value creation, we would very much like to hear from you.
