Columbia Road is a digital growth consultancy challenging the old ways of running digital businesses. We exist to increase our clients’ revenue and help them get more customers in the digital era. Our team consists of business consultants who understand business-driven design, tech, strategy and growth. We believe in giving a lot of responsibility and freedom to our employees. There’s a common misunderstanding that happy and satisfied employees are automatically motivated employees. We don’t see things that way. Happy and satisfied employees are an important priority for us, but we think causal relationship is reversed: people are happy and satisfied when they have work that motivates them. For us, an employee’s happiness is the primary goal, not a tool for raising productivity or profitability. We want to empower our employees to become a better version of themselves and to have more of an impact on the world. We see happiness & satisfaction as end goals, not starting points. That being said we love to laugh a lot, play some tunes at the office and grab a few drinks after work. What kind of work is motivating in our context? People yearn for purpose in their work and want it to have meaning that creates value: purpose, for people and organisations, comes from making an impact on the world. Meaning & significance comes from providing value to someone else — in our case, clients. Clients (not us) define the value of our actions, always. Jobs at columbiaroad.com/careers

What we are building Joey is building the future of autonomous operations for the physical economy. We are developing the first truly vertical, agentic AI platform purpose-built to eliminate administrative revenue leakage for small-to-medium field service, construction, and artisan businesses across the Nordics. Instead of a passive software dashboard that forces users to click buttons, Joey deploys autonomous AI agents that handle the entire customer and administrative lifecycle. From reading and categorizing incoming leads, managing calendars, processing bookings, and generating invoices, to executing project-specific material procurement - Joey handles it entirely on autopilot or via a secure human-in-the-loop workflow. Our core workspace is "Joey Chat" a natural language control center allowing tradesmen to textually query their business infrastructure and trigger live operational actions on the fly. Best of all? We integrate seamlessly as a non-disruptive layer on top of the financial suites they already use daily (like e-conomic, Ordrestyring, Dinero, Billy and more). Our Story & Traction We didn't build Joey in an isolated dark room. For the last 6 months, we ran a high-growth B2B AI consulting agency in Denmark, hand-crafting custom automation workflows for local contractors. The market response was overwhelming: inbound demand far outstripped our physical capacity to build. We quickly realized that building bespoke infrastructure for 1-3 months per client wasn't scalable. Joey is the direct productization of that validated market demand. We are moving our consulting traction straight into a scalable, hyper-disruptive SaaS ecosystem. Why join us? We are a lean, relentless, and product-obsessed founding team backed by early validation. By joining Joey, you aren't building a speculative product looking for a problem - you are building software directly tied to massive, unmanaged market demand. Our Cultural DNA - There is no second place, winning is the ONLY option: We don’t just participate; we compete to dominate. We have a relentless drive for high performance, set exceptionally high bars for ourselves, and celebrate bold, measurable results. We play to win at everything we do - and most importantly, we play to kill and bury the competition. - Radical Customer Empathy: We are fiercely user-obsessed. We build out of deep empathy for the hard-working tradesmen who rely on Joey to run their businesses. We listen intently, put the end-user first in every single discussion, and measure our success by a single metric: the undeniable value and freedom we create for the customer. - Product Obsession: We believe that exceptional engineering and elegant product design solve the world's hardest operational problems. We don't build generic software patches; we build intuitive, robust, and high-impact agentic architectures. We are deeply product-focused, ensuring Joey feels like magic to use.

Through accessible education, our community and carefully designed solutions, we make the transition to reusable care feel simple, supportive and manageable. Together, we are creating a movement where comfort, awareness and sustainability exist side by side.
