Drive strategic growth. Build global partnerships. Leave your mark.

Big Impact. Norwegian Roots. Global Ambition.

At Attensi, we’re not just building software — we’re creating a global movement to revolutionize how people acquire skills.

Born in Norway and founded by serial entrepreneurs Trond Aas and Odd Skarheim, Attensi is defining a new category — combining game mechanics, behavioral psychology, and enterprise impact in a way the world has never seen before.

With clients like Starbucks, PwC, and Coca-Cola, and a platform already active in 150+ countries and 50+ languages, we’re making a huge impact at a global scale. But the best part? This is just the beginning.

If you’re hungry to be part of a once-in-a-generation scale-up story, this is your moment. Come help us build Norway’s next global tech unicorn.

Our Commercial DNA

Our team is made up of elite performers — former founders, ex-consultants and ex-senior execs, combined with hungry top-tier sales talents who know what it takes to build something that lasts. We don’t just sell. We shape strategy, forge partnerships, and unlock commercial value at a global scale.

With experience across Fortune 500s, hyper-growth scale-ups, and top tier consultant firms, we’ve built a team that combines deep strategic thinking with relentless execution.

Active in 150+ markets, we’re breaking into new industries, challenging legacy mindsets, and scaling some of the world’s most influential brands — from early adoption to enterprise-wide transformation.

We think like owners, act like operators, and deliver like partners.

This isn’t a traditional sales team. This is a team of builders.

If you’re ready to disrupt, lead, and grow — welcome.

Your Mission as our Account Director

As an Account Director in our Oslo HQ, you’ll take the lead on expanding our relationships with some of Attensi’s highest-potential clients — turning strategic accounts into global success stories.

You’ll work alongside a world-class commercial team to unlock new growth, drive measurable results, and scale our biggest brands across new markets and industries.

As one of the founding members of the Norway Account Management team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to set the standard for those who follow — establishing best practices, culture, and commercial strategy that will define our local success for years to come.

Your mission? Build deep relationships, unlock growth, and deliver real commercial outcomes — all while helping write the next chapter in Attensi’s global scale-up story.

We’re not here to play it safe. We’re here to build the next Norwegian tech unicorn — global, meaningful, and lasting. If you’re ready to lead, challenge, and leave your mark, now’s the time.
