CEO | Kontur AS | Oslo
Seeking a strong leader to scale a global tech company. Drive growth, inspire teams, and transform underground infrastructure with cutting-edge software.
Lead a Norwegian Tech company changing the way the world is doing infrastructure maintenance.
Kontur is a Norwegian technology company with global impact. Our vision is to change the way the world is doing infrastructure maintenance, and our CEO will lead this global transition and unlock the full global potential of our products and automated services. We design and develop world-leading Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems and analysis software that transforms subsurface data into actionable insight. Already trusted across Asia, the US, and Europe, Kontur is now expanding beyond the current product portfolio by introducing automated software services (SaaS) for advanced 3D data to unlock a new level of value from subsurface information at scale.
Your Mission
As CEO, you will be:
- Scaling Kontur: Expand our addressable market through new innovative automated software services emphasising on recurring revenue.
- Global expansion: Strengthen our commercial footprint through international partnerships and go-to-market strategy.
- Team and culture: Lead and inspire high-performing teams across disciplines and geographies.
- Strategy execution: Drive long-term vision while ensuring short-term results — investor alignment and exit-readiness are key.
- Technology leadership: Champion innovation while keeping focus on customer value and simplicity.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a bold and strategic leader — someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves yet thinks on a systems level. Ideal candidates will have:
- Proven track record in scaling international businesses.
- A strong understanding of implementing B2B SaaS and related revenue growth, with bonus points for domain knowledge in geospatial, sensors, infrastructure or industrial tech.
- Experience in building go-to-market strategies, sales organizations and partner ecosystems.
- Technical literacy and the ability to lead interdisciplinary teams (engineers, product, commercial) with credibility and clarity.
- A global mindset and appetite for international travel and cultural fluency.
- Curiosity and decisiveness — you can navigate uncertainty and keep the company moving forward.
Why Join Kontur?
- A unique product and platform — a significant unlocked potential in automated GPR services gives a real first-mover advantage.
- A market in motion: Infrastructure digitization is accelerating worldwide.
- Talented, passionate teams in Norway — world-class domain specialists, radar experts and software developers.
- A clear strategic direction, ambitious private investors, and a strong foundation for growth.
- The opportunity to take part in a game-changing, global value creation journey, including a planned exit.
We don’t just want to map the world below — we want to redefine how people interact with it.
