Oslo, Oslo County, Norway ElBits Full time
Are you ready to help us on our mission toward a greener, more data-driven future? At ElBits we aim for digital innovation that meets sustainability in a friendly, well-funded joint venture.

ElBits is an ambitious collaboration among Norway's grid companies aimed at driving change in the power grid industry. We achieve this by integrating and standardizing data and developing digital products. Our goal is to create a digital infrastructure that the industry will increase grid capacity and efficiency, as well as streamline and improve customer experiences.

With our partnerships, deep industry expertise, and access to critical data, we are uniquely positioned to innovate and address the challenges of today's energy systems. By making data accessible and enabling collaboration, we unlock the grid industry's potential. Together, we contribute to solving one of the greatest challenges of our time – the energy transition.

We are now hiring a Head of Portfolio and Operations to help shape our organization and strategy as we scale. In this role, you'll be instrumental in people management, strengthening our company culture, and enabling teams to perform at their best. This role will be key to fostering collaboration and ensuring alignment across the organization.

You'll work closely with and lead our portfolio and operation teams, enabling decision-making and driving our key initiatives in these areas. Whether it is supporting Product Owners in removing blockers so they can deliver more efficiently or guiding our Finance Manager in implementing robust financial processes - you're always thinking a few steps ahead to ensure the teams have what they need to operate smoothly and scale.

What will you do?

As Head of Portfolio and Operations, you will be a key part of our five-person management team, working closely with leadership to drive ElBits forward. We believe that leadership at ElBits is about empowering others, creating an environment where people can do their best work, and ensuring that our teams are motivated, engaged, and aligned with our mission.

Our mission to modernize and digitalize the grid industry requires breaking down silos, removing barriers, and leading by example. Your role will be pivotal in creating an environment where collaboration thrives, change is embraced, and people feel a sense of purpose and belonging. You'll drive initiatives to strengthen leadership across the organization, develop structures that support growth, and build a culture where transparency, trust, and teamwork are at our core.

This role will be responsible for two main areas, both centered around enabling people and teams to succeed:

Portfolio:

  • Guide the management team in balancing the portfolio, ensuring key areas receive the right level of support and focus.
  • Lead portfolio activities, such as quarterly reviews and bi-weekly demo days, fostering team transparency and alignment.
  • Support customer-facing product development, helping cluster product leads with prioritization and team enablement when necessary.
  • Help to build our project and product methodology and support our product teams on unblocking their challenges.

Operations:

  • Establish frameworks that drive efficiency and prevent teams from reinventing the wheel.
  • Support our small but talented team in this area, especially when they encounter challenges.
  • Remove obstacles that slow down the organization, enabling teams to move faster and work smarter.
  • Oversee core functions and support line managers within finance, HR & culture, procurement, and staffing, ensuring support and guidance when necessary.
  • Work closely with our CEO to ensure smooth operations and strategic alignment across ElBits.

These responsibilities can evolve and be influenced by your experience and how ElBits will continue to mature as an organization.

Who are you?

We are looking for a structured and strategic person with a background in project or product management, as well as proven experience with managing people. We hope you bring a pragmatic mindset and can balance big-picture thinking with hands-on problem-solving.

What makes you a great fit?

  • Experienced in product or project management – You understand the challenges of building and scaling products and can guide teams through different phases of the lifecycle.
  • Strong at structuring and prioritizing – You help teams focus on what matters most, setting clear goals (OKRs), allocating resources effectively, and ensuring alignment.
  • A builder of ways of working – You enjoy defining and refining processes to create efficiency without unnecessary complexity.
  • Experience with change management – You navigate growth and transformation with confidence, helping teams adapt to new ways of working while maintaining momentum.
  • A supportive leader – With experience managing teams, you know how to empower and develop others, adapting your involvement as the organization and individuals grow.
  • Proficiency in English is required, as it is our working language. Since we collaborate with Norwegian grid companies, you should be comfortable understanding Norwegian and open to building confidence in speaking over time.
What can we offer?

First, we want to emphasize the opportunity to pursue new challenges and uncharted territories. This role will help us build a robust and cross-functional portfolio and strategy, and you'll have the opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues, making a real impact in Norway's grid sector.

We also offer:

  • A positive, flexible, and trust-based work environment.
  • The chance to have your work make a great social impact and difference in the energy sector.
  • Great pension and insurance policies.
  • Modern office centrally located at Mesh Nationaltheatret in Oslo, one of Europe's fastest-growing cities.
  • Choice of equipment and other necessary tools to ensure you have everything you need to perform your role effectively.
  • Great colleagues & social events.
What does the process look like?
  • Apply with your CV and contact information.
  • If we find your profile interesting, we'll schedule a short (30-minute) conversation with our recruitment advisor.
  • After that, we'll set up a Meet & Greet with our CEO and one other member of the management team.
  • For the second interview, we'll have a more in-depth discussion about your experience and understanding of the role. Here we will inform you about our way of working and more about us. We conduct a short exercise as well as a personality test through Aon.
  • The final chat will involve a meeting with a Product Owner and our Finance Manager.
  • We do a couple of reference checks and send you an offer

If you have any questions or other inquiries regarding this position, feel free to send an email to anna.wold@elbits.no.
