Job Description:
Group Leader - Vesta Software Group Hungary
Vesta Software Group acquires, manages, and builds software companies in a variety of vertical markets, enabling them to be clear leaders in their industries. Our companies provide mission-critical enterprise solutions for vertical industries across the entire industry value chain. Vesta Software Group is a division of Constellation Software Inc (CSI), the world’s largest investor and operator of vertical market software companies. CSI has a market capitalisation of over $50 billion and a large, diverse customer base comprising of over 125,000 customers operating in over 100 countries around the world. The aim of Vesta is to buy and hold the companies forever. This makes our company exceptionally well placed to give more than just "peace of mind", but also a promise to provide a great permanent home for the purchased company. Since its beginnings in 2003, we have never sold a company we have acquired, nor do we intend to. Instead, Vesta strives to be a great permanent home for companies that join the family, and we look to leverage the knowledge and experience acquired through our acquisitions to make the group even stronger. With a decentralized autonomous operating structure, Vesta promotes cross-business and cross-vertical business networking for individuals across the CSI family to access its strong network and talent development programmes.
To support the company’s constant development process, the company has a strong need to hire a top professional to be appointed for the position of Group Leader, to help coach and mentor existing businesses within the portfolio, but also to help build and nurture M&A targets through to successful acquisition into the group.
