Vacant job

Do you want to drive development that makes a real difference for both individuals and society? As a Business Developer at Medborgarskolan, you get to combine business acumen with social commitment. You identify needs in the external environment, create new opportunities for learning, and help people, ideas, and collaborations grow.

Adult education (folkbildning) is about people's desire to learn. At Medborgarskolan, participants choose to develop themselves, whether it involves a creative course, a career step forward, or a new hobby. Our role is to create the right conditions for this. We are now looking for you who want to help develop tomorrow's adult education together with engaged colleagues, course leaders, and partners.

About the role

As a Business Developer in adult education, you scan society and the market to see what is in demand and needed. In some cases, you take over existing operations; in others, you build entirely new ones. You are the one who builds and manages the operations, hires course leaders, and attracts participants through active sales. You are one of Medborgarskolan's ambassadors!

To succeed, you should:

• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and be sensitive to the external environment.
• Enjoy networking with associations, companies, and the public sector to find new collaborations and build new adult education activities together with them.
• Enjoy developing both existing and new courses and collaborating with current and new course leaders.
• Be solution- and development-focused, both internally and externally, and contribute improvement suggestions that develop both the business and yourself.
• Enjoy collaborating with colleagues and are driven by working towards set goals.
• Have clear self-leadership and take responsibility for several areas of operation where you plan, sell, develop, and follow up on your activities.
• Have good computer and system skills.
• Hold a valid driver's license (Category B) (preferably also for cars with manual transmission).

It is an advantage if:

• You have adequate education and/or experience from similar assignments.
• You have worked with revenue and profit budgets and are accustomed to making financial forecasts.
• You have experience in sales and experience working in a project format.

What we offer:

• An stimulating work environment with engaged colleagues.
• Opportunities for development within your area and access to further education.
• Goal-oriented working hours.
• Wellness allowance.
• Opportunity for dental and medical visits during working hours.
• Freedom under responsibility.

About the employment

• The position is currently a six-month fixed-term contract, with a likely extension. Start date as soon as possible.
• Location: Örebro.

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability!
