Krea was founded with the ambition to build the largest procurement platform in Northern Europe. Since our start in 2018 we have supported 30 000 small businesses to access more than SEK 3BN in financing.

Krea is a founder-led company, backed by Roosgruppen and ExM Invest and a handful of angel investors. We are now seeking a highly driven and sales-oriented credit associate as part of our Advisory team that is supporting our larger business customers with a focus on working capital & real estate financing from 2 - 100 million crowns.

Krea has become the market leader in Sweden with a strong market position. The company is now ready to scale and we see the largest potential in the Advisory segment.
