jagvillhabostad.nu is Sweden's only housing policy association for young people aged 16-30. Our most important mission is to advocate for all young people's right to safe housing by monitoring and acting based on their needs, rights, and interests. An important part of our work is our local associations. We are now looking for a business developer who wants to work to strengthen local engagement in the organization.

About the position

As a business developer, you are the link between volunteers in our local associations and the organization as a whole. You support all our active members' work and ensure they have the tools they need to carry out their activities.

Examples of tasks:

• Support local branches' activities ahead of e.g. annual meetings, recruitment of a new board, and other significant activities
• Conduct internal training for active members
• Develop necessary templates and support materials for the operations
• Develop and disseminate internal communication within the organization
• Manage membership administration and contact new active members
• Plan and lead activities for member recruitment

As a person, you should have strong self-leadership, be relationship-building, and be able to motivate others.
