What we can offer

An exciting and educational internship through which you experience being part of an international working environment and a smart, brave and passionate team. During your internship, you will gain insight into, and knowledge of, how a global non-profit organization is structured and works in practice. With a focus on HR & Governance, you will learn about and take an active part in various procedures regarding recruitment, employment, organizational and strategic team development, as well as policy formulation. With the necessary support, you will be given the opportunity to take ownership of your own tasks and projects and gain practical experience in project management and self-leadership. We highly value our interns for their skills and the energy they bring to our team and offer a great opportunity for you to gain confidence and develop your workplace skills.

During Your Internship

You will be working directly with the Global HR Team, providing support with different and engaging day-to-day tasks including the administration, coordination, facilitation and development of our key HR & Governance processes and tools. You will have the opportunity to combine your work with longer projects and varying tasks, such as qualitative and quantitative data collection, research, analysis, surveys and presentations, always in collaboration with us. A typical working day is between 9 and 17, but working hours are flexible and some can be done remotely. Minimum every other week you will have a check-in with your supervisor, where your work tasks and development will be followed up on.

Who You Are

A student: We expect you to be a student either at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level and connected to a university where the internship is part of your education plan.

Passionate: Have a strong passion for unleashing the power of entrepreneurship in order to drive change for some of the most vulnerable groups across the globe,, and are interested in working in an international, business-minded and results-driven team.

Brave: As a person, you see potential where others don’t. You don’t hesitate to take initiative, are proactive, and enjoy having varied tasks and projects. You dare to fail and are resilient, maintaining commitment even when faced with challenges. You are brave, thorough, and have strong interpersonal and communication skills. You don’t hesitate to take initiative, are proactive, and enjoy having varied tasks and projects. You don't hesitate to ask questions, learn, be curious and would rather fail than do nothing.

Smart: You care about the quality of your work and you have an entrepreneurial, problem-solving, go-getter mindset. You are also confident in utilizing standard IT tools for day-to-day tasks and communication - especially Google Suite.

Competencies and skills we are looking for: Proficiency in English is required – since it is the language we use for most of our internal communication. Swedish is an advantage.
