Marketer

Oslo

As our new Chief Operating Officer, you will join the senior leadership team with full strategic and operational responsibilities for ensuring Marketer.com’s financial health and operational scalability. This is not a traditional COO role. It combines financial understanding with broad operational leadership---making it a rare and impactful position at the core of our growth journey.
Your mandate is to ensure operational excellence and build the infrastructure needed to scale. You will oversee key enabling functions such as legal, people/HR, administration, and internal systems. You will drive cross-functional efficiency, implement scalable processes, and support international expansion by providing clear controllable performance indicators.
This role is ideal for a hands-on, execution-oriented leader with strong business and financial acumen and a proven track record in operations, business transformation, and international growth.
You will work closely with the CEO, board, and leadership team to implement scalable processes, optimize performance, and foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
About Vergence
Vergence is a new model for building companies. We are a co-company builder for the modern era -- not a fund, not an incubator, not an advisor. We don’t just deploy capital -- we do the work.
We build, operate, and scale companies side by side with founders and investors. Our core belief is that AI has erased the traditional limits on how fast -- and how far -- companies can grow. What used to take years now happens in months, soon in weeks. However, while speed may not compromise quality, it doesn’t simplify success. Building large and sustainable businesses has never been harder: product, strategy, brand, design, marketing, recruiting, culture, funding -- every discipline is high-stakes, and unforgiving when done poorly.
We operate through a focused portfolio of high-growth ventures in e-commerce, real estate, healthtech, recruitment, and advanced visualization. This includes companies like Marketer.com, Plot.ai, Staffer.ai, and Marketer Real Estate Technologies. We serve thousands of clients all over the world, from small SMBs in California, to large real estate developers like Skanska, Selvaag and OBOS, and agencies like DNB Eiendom, Sotheby’s, ERA and C21.
We have launched 10 ventures so far. Several are already profitable, and 9/10 are either growing fast or executing on highly ambitious roadmaps. In total, we have sold products for more than NOK 1 billion, and currently with 70% of new revenue coming from the US market. Vergence is backed by several solid and long-term investors like Idékapital, MP Pensjon, Altitude Capital, Kvantia and the founder of Adyen.
