Job description

Location: France

Type: Fulltime | Hybridflexible | Based near one of our portfolio company locations

Note: This is an ongoing opportunity for future Managing Directors across the Everfield ecosystem. As we continue to grow our portfolio, we are proactively engaging with candidates who have the leadership experience and operational expertise to step into Managing Director roles within our vertical market software companies.

About Everfield

Everfield buys, builds, and grows European vertical market and specialist software companies, providing them with the tools they need to move to the next level. Our mission is to foster ambition, fuel growth, and unlock opportunities for Europe’s software ecosystem.
