Business manager - intern
This is the third job advertisement we are writing - and you will play a key part in creating a friendly and ambitious culture with us.
Because, we need you to help us make the world a more friendly place.
And together we will tackle challenges, celebrate victories and show the greatness and fun of Speedfriending!
We are starting with Norway, and then Scandinavia. And then you know, the world. We want to bring people together in a time in which that is difficult - to say at least.
We are looking for someone who can help us gear up the business side of Speedfriending - through sales, CRM and building relations to stakeholders. If you also are curious about concept development and love to cold-call, this is a great place for you! Your role in the team could be up to you to influence and shape. You´ll be building our sales force. We are looking for someone who is creative, ambitious, not afraid to meet people, these times digital though. Someone who can see the broader picture, while also having a focus on the details.
If you have a background from sales and business development - that is great - but for us the most important is the potential, and the capacity to deliver. We are now starting something we have never done before, so the few first people coming along with us on this journey will be so important for us.
In this role you will:
Conduct background research on competitors, countries, projects, donor priorities and funding opportunities
Pitch Speedfriending and cold-calling potential partners and clients
Developing databases, processes and internal systems
Providing administrative and logistical support, including organizing meetings and conference calls with potential partners, staff
Writing materials including marketing one-pagers, capacity statements, and other thought pieces
Contributing to quality of written content including proofreading, formatting, and editing documents.
Build relationships with customers, potential customers, industry professionals and journalists
Stay up-to-date with digital technology trends
Organize Speedfriending-events (we all do - and it's so much fun!)
Overall admin work
We are looking for:
Someone who is outgoing and loves to meet new people
You are creative, system orientated and a fast learner
Ambitious and goal-oriented
Strong capacity and work ethic
Someone who understands what building culture means - a team player
Majoring in business, finance, economy or marketing would be positive
If you know Norwegian, that is also very positive - given the close communication with Norwegian partners and clients
As a part of our team, you´ll enjoy:
The hustle of a startup with the possible impact of a global business
Tremendous opportunity to solve some of societys biggest challenges
Working with an extraordinary team of smart, creative, fun and highly motivated people
Competitive compensation
On our spare time we organize festivals - and you'll obviously be our VIP
Traveling, meeting people and creating opportunities of learning
This job comes with several perks and benefits
Time is precious. Make it count. Morning person or night owl, this job is for you.
Social gatherings and games; hang out with your colleagues.
You know how you perform best. Work from your couch, your favorite cafe or abroad when you feel like it.
We want to take you from good to great.
