Junior Account Manager

Salary DKK 28,000 - DKK 33,000 per month

📍 Location: Copenhagen, Oslo, or remote from Sweden or Finland

🗣️ Language: English plus a Nordic language


We are looking for an ambitious, people-loving person at the beginning of their career who wants to help startup founders make their most critical hires.

You might be a recent graduate. You might have a few years of work experience in customer success, sales, recruitment or something completely different. We care far more about your potential, drive and agency than your CV.


The role ⭐️

The Hub is the largest startup recruitment platform in the Nordics with thousands of active startup companies and 10,000 daily active users. As our new Account Manager, you’ll own Scout—our light headhunting service that helps founders and hiring managers find, screen and hire great candidates faster.


You will learn to manage the entire journey from potential customer to successful hire:

  • Research: Identify startups that need help hiring.

  • Sales: Reach out to founders and book meetings.

  • Relationships: Understand their hiring needs and win their trust.

  • Recruitment: Source, screen and interview candidates.

  • AI workflows: Use AI to research companies, personalise outreach and work faster.

  • Account Management: Gradually build and manage your own customer portfolio.

You will receive support and training, but this is not a role where you wait to be given every answer. We want someone who experiments, takes ownership and finds a way forward. Agency is the strongest trait we are looking for.


Requirements ☝️

You are probably early in your career, but people quickly notice your energy and potential. To succeed in this role, you'll need the following:

  • People person: Genuinely enjoy speaking with people.

  • Driven: Hungry to learn and eager to prove yourself.

  • High agency: Take initiative without waiting for permission.

  • Confident: Communicate confidently and build trust quickly.

  • Customer-centric: Care about delivering a great experience.

  • Independent: Be able to stay focused and motivated while working independently.

  • Structured: Be organised enough to handle several priorities.

  • AI: Be excited about AI and already using it beyond ChatGPT.


You will not be a fit if:

  • You need a detailed playbook telling you exactly what to do.

  • You need constant direction or close management.

  • You are uncomfortable owning significant responsibility, making decisions and occasionally getting things wrong.

  • You dislike sales and only want to work with warm, inbound accounts.


What we offer ❤️

  • A steep learning curve across sales, recruitment, startups and AI.

  • Responsibility much earlier than you would get in a large company.

  • Direct contact with founders across the Nordic startup ecosystem.

  • A competitive base salary and uncapped commission.

  • The AI tools and equipment you need to perform.

  • A clear opportunity to grow into a senior commercial or recruitment role.

  • A small, ambitious team where good ideas can become reality quickly.

  • Free lunch & coffee if you work from our offices in Copenhagen or Oslo (we also welcome remote candidates from Sweden or Finland).

The Hub

We have built a two-sided marketplace, where startups can post their open positions and handle their incoming applications, and talent can apply for said jobs. We currently serve four Nordic countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway, and hope to expand further in the future 🗺. Since we started we have built a value-adding service and successfully: - Distributed more than 2 million applications - Had over 7.000 startups register a profile on the platform - Connected more than 300.000 candidates with jobs in the Nordic startup scene Our mission is to help startups grow faster to reach their full potential, and help talent find their next dream job. Our ambition is to create a complete startup recruitment marketplace, offering the best service available. Empowered by a deep desire to create new and better ways for people to find meaningful work, we invite you to join our journey to become the World’s best startup recruitment marketplace 🚀. Besides a great product, our people are a big part of what makes The Hub succesfull! We all feel motivated to do great things, and work with a high drive to bring additional value to our startups and talent users. The Hub family is a small international team based at the beautiful Matrikel1 in the centre of Copenhagen. While our HQ is in Denmark, all team communication is in English, so no Danish is required to join us. Outside working together, we enjoy monthly dinners, board game nights, and other fun activities. We have the freedom to work remotely, but also enjoy seeing each other as often as possible. Besides amazing colleagues another great plus in coming to the office is that lunch and coffee are second-to-none 😋 The Hub was initially started in 2015 by Danske Bank Growth with the help of Rainmaking Innovation to create valuable and impactful services for the rapidly growing Nordic startup ecosystem, focusing on tailored recruitment and fundraising services. In December 2022 Mesh Community took over operations of The Hub. Mesh Community is a leading Nordic provider of co-working spaces, innovation hubs, and startup accelerators. We are excited to have joined forces and are confident this will open up new doors of opportunity for our startup community.
