We have a new job opening in Helsinki: we’re hiring a Partnership Specialist to take our Swedish operations to the next level! 🇸🇪

This is a versatile junior or entry-level position with both sales and marketing related responsibilities.

Some previous work experience in sales or customer service is considered a plus but is not required. A strong drive, a hunger to learn, great communication skills and a curious mind are. The work itself you'll learn on the job (we all did!).

The job is perfect for a recent graduate or someone who's about to graduate from their higher education studies soon.

Excellent command of the Swedish language is a must, as all of your customers will be in Sweden.

• Plenty of support from your colleagues. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about the work and the product. Help will always be near.

• A flexible and chill workplace where splitting your working hours between home and our Helsinki office, Friday beers (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and good laughter are a part of the deal. 🏖
