Mesh is looking for a Programme Lead to execute and grow our exclusive event programme in the Nordics and US.

Over the last year, Mesh Collective has become a trusted platform for the most ambitious founders and investors of our region. From skiing in Lofoten to surfing in San Francisco, we design experiences that bring exceptional people together and create the trust that drives collaboration, investment and company-building across borders. We believe these relationships are the connective tissue of a thriving startup ecosystem - and a key part of strengthening the Nordics' position on the global stage.

We're looking for a Programme Lead to help us scale the next chapter.

This role is ideal for a young professional who thrives at the intersection of operations, community, events and startups. Someone who loves creating exceptional experiences, enjoys bringing structure to complexity, and is excited by the opportunity to help build one of the strongest founder and investor networks in the Nordics.
