Ängsbacka is now seeking a CEO to lead one of Scandinavia’s most unique organisations: an internationally known center for personal and spiritual growth, festivals, courses, community living, and sustainable development.
This is not a traditional CEO role. It is a role for someone who is equally comfortable with strategy and spreadsheets as with human processes, emotional depth, spiritual awareness and community life. Someone who has developed themselves inwardly and is willing to continue that journey while leading others.
Ängsbacka is seeking a CEO who can hold the whole: a limited company owned by a members’ association, a seasonal rhythm of festivals and courses, and a volunteer‑powered community that changes by the day, week, and season. This is a role for a leader who combines business acumen with personal maturity - able to stand steady in complexity while carrying culture, people, and structure at the same time.
About Ängsbacka
Located in the forests of Värmland, Sweden, Ängsbacka has for 30 years been a home for personal development, meditation, self-discovery, connection, and celebration. Tens of thousands of people from around the world have visited our festivals, courses, and volunteering programs, often describing Ängsbacka as “a second home” or “a place where I rediscovered myself.”
We believe that the magic of Ängsbacka lies in authentic connection - with yourself, with others, with nature and with spirit. In the interplay between business and community, beyond thoughts and ideas, religion, politics and belief systems. To support this, our community agrees upon a set of 12 guiding principles that shape how we create, work, live, and grow together.
Designing the role together
Ängsbacka is currently in an exploratory and flexible phase, the organisation is evolving, and we want the structure to reflect real strengths. We are recruiting a CEO, yet we are equally open to exploring the design of the role, co‑creating the role’s boundaries, including distributing parts of the mandate among multiple people and/or Ängsbacka circles. If you recognise yourself in the profile but see a slightly different configuration where you can create the most value, we encourage you to apply and describe your proposal.
Your mission
You lead the organisation operationally, strategically, and energetically. You work closely with the association’s board who represents the members that owns Ängsbcka, the company’s leadership teams distributed in sociocratic circles such as product-, holding- and Ängsbacka company circle and core circle with all team leads, keep the seasonal logistics and finances coherent, and act as a visible, present leader in daily operations.
Key responsibilities
A layered and living community
The CEO leads an organisation woven into three connected communities:
The internal community, A constantly shifting volunteer-based environment where new people arrive weekly, daily, or seasonally.
The local community, The people and organisations in and around Molkom who have long-standing relationships with Ängsbacka.
The global community, Tens of thousands of past and upcoming participants, volunteers, guests, and friends of Ängsbacka worldwide.
Your leadership needs to hold all three.
Leadership areas

ABOUT ENODE The grid was built for predictable, centralised power. Today it's absorbing intermittent supply from grid scale solar and wind, alongside dynamic demand from EVs, heat pumps, and home batteries. The missing piece is software that can connect and orchestrate these devices at scale. Enode provides the infrastructure layer that makes this possible. Our Connect API gives energy companies a single integration to 1000+ devices across 80+ brands. Our optimisation tooling gives energy companies the building blocks to manage those devices locally - think smart charging for EVs. Our Flex product turns those connected devices into a flexible, controllable asset for energy companies. We work with device manufacturers across the energy hardware ecosystem - from EV brands to heat pump and solar inverter producers. Our customers are energy retailers, utilities, and traders building the next generation of energy services. We're backed by Y Combinator, Lowercarbon Capital, and Creandum. The decisions made now will shape how the energy system gets built. We're looking for people who take ownership, move fast, and care deeply about the role technology can play in the energy transition. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: We're hiring a Partnerships Manager to work closely with the manufacturers (OEMs) whose devices are optimised by Enode. OEM partners are a vital part of Enode’s platform, and how we work with them determines how fast we scale as a company. Enode is partnering with leading automotive, EV charger and solar & storage companies, e.g. VW Group, Zaptec and Solis. You'll sign new partners, succeed with existing ones, improve our product, and shape the playbook we use to do it. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in early-stage ambiguity and problem solving. You’ll be working directly with Henrik, Enode’s Head of Partnerships, and work closely with our CEO and leaders across GTM and Product. Partnerships is a small senior team of four people, and you will directly shape how we operate. In this role, you will: * Source, negotiate, and close new OEM partnerships end-to-end, from first conversation to signed agreement * Grow and retain existing OEM partners, making sure they see real value from working with Enode * Identify and sell new products to OEMs, opening up new revenue streams * Develop and improve the partnerships playbook, including redesigning processes using AI * Represent Enode at industry events, conferences, and on panels * Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Success, and Operations to deliver on partner commitments and improve our platform THIS ROLE WILL BE RIGHT FOR YOU, IF: To thrive at Enode, you believe the energy transition is the defining infrastructure problem of the next decade. And you want to be the person who unblocks it commercially and technically, not the person who reads about it. You’re motivated by the opportunity of using millions of residential energy devices to stabilise the grid. To succeed as Partnership Manager you are a person who easily builds trust and relationships with a range of stakeholders, from technical product managers to senior business leaders in large, multi-national companies like VW and BMW Group. You should be excited about the opportunity to identify and understand their needs, help the partner and Enode to realise value and high quality integrations. The role will be right if: * You have drive, ambition and passion to build a globally important climate tech business * You are a natural relationship builder and can work with broad range of stakeholders * You are an excellent problem solver and strategic thinker, with the ability to manage complex projects * You have strong negotiation and diplomatic skills * You are comfortable navigating technical, commercial, and legal conversations with a range of stakeholders * You are well-organised and independent * You have at least 5 years of experience in business development/partnerships, ideally in B2B software or energy. We are also open to backgrounds from other high-performing environments (e.g. top-tier consulting) * You are ready to get your hands dirty, ideally with startup or scale-up experience * You have excellent communication skills, written and oral (English) * You are based in Europe and able to work in the CET time zone +-3 hours Nice-to-haves * You have closed and grown multi-year strategic partnerships with enterprise counterparts * You have experience with (or high interest in) renewable energy, electric vehicles, smart energy hardware and/or demand response * You actively use AI to improve the efficiency and quality of your work * You are familiar with API-based, B2B software WHAT WE OFFER: * Opportunity to join and impact an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations as we scale. * A mission-driven, fun and caring environment with high drive and ambition. * Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program - you’re part of our journey. * Access to best in class AI tooling, we think the ceiling on what a small team can do has fundamentally shifted, and we want you to feel that. * Remote-first in Europe, with the option of attending an office in Oslo or receiving a co-working pass on demand. * Three annual off-sites to connect with the team in exciting & fun places. * Flexible, human-first culture. * Stipend for setting up your home office. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A FEW THINGS TO NOTE: * Enode is an equal opportunities employer. Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles. * Our values are integral to the way we work and are embedded into all our hiring processes. You can read more about our values here.
