Build HI Assessments in Germany

Build HI Assessments in Germany

Country Manager / Franchise Entrepreneur, not an employee, a builder

Most "Country Manager" roles ask you to execute someone else's playbook.

This one asks you to write it.

HI Assessments, the fastest-growing assessment company in the Nordics, is opening Germany, and we're looking for the one person who will build it: build the market, win the first customers, recruit the local team, and share directly in the value created along the way..

You won't join HI in Germany. You'll build HI in Germany.

Why this exists

Every year, organizations pour billions into hiring, leadership development and succession planning, yet most assessment tools still feel outdated, impersonal and disconnected from how people actually work today.

HI was founded by a team from Assessio, Alva Labs and AON, alongside Petri Kajonius, Associate Professor of Personality Psychology at Lund University and one of the leading voices in personality science and psychometrics in the Nordics, to fix that. We combine validated psychometric science (Big Five personality, cognitive ability, and our own HI Assessment measuring resilience, adaptability and stress behaviors under pressure) with a modern, AI-powered, DNV-certified platform. GDPR-first, EU-hosted, built for the way hiring actually happens now.

SKF, Avanza, Lyko, SkiStar and Teamtailor already trust HI. Germany, one of Europe's largest HR and talent markets, is the next chapter, and it doesn't have a name on it yet.

Why Germany, why now

Germany is one of the biggest and most sophisticated HR tech markets in Europe, and it's wide open for a science-backed, AI-native assessment platform with real Nordic credibility behind it. We're not looking to hire a team there yet. We're looking for the one entrepreneurial leader who will build it, backed by a founder team that will actively support you from day one.

What building it actually looks like

● Launch and grow HI across Germany: sales, positioning and first customers.

● Build direct relationships with HR leaders and decision-makers

● Recruit and lead your own local team as the market grows

● Become the face and voice of HI Assessments in Germany

● Shape how the platform and go-to-market evolve for the DACH region

What's actually in it for you

This is more than a traditional salary-plus-bonus role. It’s an entrepreneurial partnership with a performance-driven commercial model designed to reward long-term success.

● A revenue-share model that gives you a direct financial incentive to drive sales, build lasting customer relationships, and create recurring revenue.

● The opportunity to build, own, and lead your market with the freedom and autonomy of running your own business.

● Become part of a growing international community of HI Business Owners, sharing best practices, collaborating across markets, and helping shape the future of HI together.

● You’re not just building sales – you’re building a company. Ideally, you already run your own business or consultancy . Our ambition is to help you build a valuable company with the long-term potential of creating significant value through a future exit.

More details about the commercial model and partnership structure will be shared with selected candidates during the recruitment process.

Who we're looking for

Less about your job title, more about how you're wired. You might come from executive search, recruitment, HR tech, assessment companies, ATS companies, B2B SaaS, or consulting, but what actually matters:

● You'd rather build something than manage something

● You lead with relationships and long-term trust, not transactions

● You're commercially sharp and comfortable building and growing a business.

● You want equity in the outcome, not just a paycheck for the effort

What HI brings to the table

You're not building this alone. You're building it with us:

● A modern, science-backed, AI-powered assessment platform

● Product development, psychometric expertise and methodology

● Brand, marketing and operational support from our headquarters in Sweden

● Hands-on onboarding and joint customer meetings with the founders

This isn't for someone looking for a safe, salaried role. It's for someone who's been waiting for the opportunity to build something real - with founders behind you and real ownership in the outcome.
