Vacant job

As a business developer with us, you will be the link between idea and reality! You ensure that our methods do not just stay on paper – you implement them in practice and create real engagement at the local and regional level. At the same time, you build bridges to the larger arena, where you make the project visible and spread it both regionally and nationally.

As a business developer in Youth Up North, you help increase young people's influence and participation in society. You will have a regional manager and an engagement developer to assist you, and we currently have offices in Umeå or Piteå.

What you will do:

• Support the project's youth consultants.
• Inspire and strengthen young people's engagement in important social issues.
• Arrange meetings between young people and decision-makers.
• Use and implement the Youth 2030 Movement's four-step method to create change both locally and regionally.
• Influence and lecture decision-makers and officials so that they open up for young people's influence and participation.
• Plan, implement, communicate, and evaluate activities together with young people and the project's various partners.
• Communication, for example, in social media and to funders and external partners.

Formally, you have:

• Relevant higher education equivalent to a bachelor's degree.
• Experience supporting and leading groups of young people.
• You have experience in project management on a small or large scale, preferably in collaboration with multiple actors.
• Experience working with young people's influence and participation, rights work, or social sustainability.

Meritorious:

• Worked on projects and/or project-led smaller projects, preferably with multiple actors in collaboration.
• Experience of own voluntary engagement or experiences from the association life.
• Experience in lecturing and/or holding workshops.
• Experience of being young in rural areas.

Requirements: B driver's license; it is also meritorious to have access to a car as the job requires some travel to places with limited access to public transport.

You will be supervised by the regional manager of Northern Sweden at Youth 2030 Movement and become part of a small but highly engaged team working in several locations in Sweden. We love to test new ideas and create real change for young people in Sweden. Everyone in the association is expected to support and strengthen each other in the activities the association conducts.
