Your responsibilities

As a Project Manager, you will have to balance and coordinate many different tasks and responsibilities throughout the year in close collaborations with the different teams in the OC.  Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Be responsible for the overall coordination and overview of the BB week (first week in November).

  • Reaching out to other universities and student organisations in Denmark and establishing relations.

  • Planning and coordinating events in close collaboration with the Events Managers. 

  • Having the main responsibility for coordinating and planning social activities within the Organising Committee, incl. cabin trip and final party.

  • Spreading the word of Business Battlefield to your fellow students.

  • Engaging in events and OC tasks such as classroom pitches, event planning and social activities throughout the year.


Why you should join 

We encourage big ideas and promise a steep learning curve. The reasons to join are many: 

  • Self-development: Being part of the OC gives you the opportunity to engage in a challenging and purpose-driven environment in which only you set the limit for your own development.

  • Business Relations: Besides looking incredibly good on your CV, Business Battlefield offers you a chance to gain insight into the business world, expand your network and create relations to expert partners, jury members and Business Battlefield partners.

  • Friends & Fun: The social aspect of Business Battlefield is a huge part of being in the Organising Committee. Together with your fellow OC’s, you will enjoy a year full of social activities, including the annual cottage trip.

The workload will be varying from February to November during 2021. However, it will be approximately 10+ hours a week, including one weekly meeting. The position requires that you can spend one whole week in November working on the BB event. 

If the above sounds interesting to you, please send us a short motivational letter (max half a page), and your CV - no grade transcripts! If relevant for the position, please attach an example of your previous work. (E.g. portfolio, letter of recommendation etc.)
