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.

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.
