Senior Investment Manager/Director
PINC – the venture arm of Paulig Group – is now looking for a Senior Investment Manager/Director to join the team in Stockholm. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of agrifood tech and help shape the future of sustainable food systems through strategic investments.
Since its launch in 2018, PINC has built a strong reputation as a leading early-stage investor in food and agtech. With thirteen innovative companies in the portfolio (as of August 2025), a broad network, and close collaboration with both Paulig’s owner representatives and external investors, PINC offers a dynamic environment for those who want to make a real impact.
As Senior Investment Manager/Director, you’ll take full ownership of the investment process – from trend scouting and deal sourcing to due diligence, execution, and active ownership. You’ll build strong relationships across the startup ecosystem and contribute to both the development of our portfolio companies and the growth of PINC itself. The role requires sharp analytical skills, strong drive, and a genuine passion for innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.
We’re looking for someone with ideally 15 years of experience, including operational roles in growth companies and experience from early-stage investing, preferably with board roles. You’re used to working independently but thrive in a collaborative, open environment. You bring a business-driven mindset, an eye for potential, and the willingness to support founders every step of the way.
Are you driven by the idea of transforming the future of food and agriculture through smart, impactful investments? If you’re excited to join a dynamic and purpose-led team making a real difference — we look forward to your application.
