About Permian

Permian Group is a leading independent fund administrator delivering a complete range of business support services. We work with alternative investment funds and their managers, investment firms, family offices, holding companies, trusts, associations, and international companies seeking local representation.

With offices in central Oslo and Stockholm, we are strategically positioned in two of the Nordic region’s key financial hubs. We are now setting up offices in Copenhagen. Our ambition is to have a fully Nordic presence in addition to being located in key jurisdictions for Nordic managers such as Ireland and Luxembourg.

The local presence and the deep alternative investment fund industry knowledge make us a trusted partner for our clients. Permian also combined with Highvern in 2025, opening other key fund jurisdictions like Guernsey, Jersey and Cayman. Highvern is also known for being a high-quality service provider. The merger makes the combined Group a very strong and attractive player in the market, both for our clients and our employees.

With the opening of the Copenhagen office, the Business development and Fund administration specialist will be crucial in building and developing the business in Denmark and overseeing the office.
