SSE Business Lab is the venture incubation arm of Stockholm School of Economics. Our vision is to strengthen Sweden’s competitiveness by providing a platform for growth to exceptional entrepreneurs, in the likes of Klarna, Budbee and VOI. We do this today by providing office space at the innovation hub A house, coaching from alumni with extensive backgrounds within executive and/or entrepreneurial leadership as well as access to a large network of partners and events.
We’re looking for someone who is passionate about helping startups grow and want to use their experience within leading teams/building startups/building businesses to improve the existing program for members, as well as bring up new initiatives that would be beneficial for SSE Business Lab. You will have a chance to have a great impact, in a small team, with a great legacy that only serves to our advantage. Join us in our mission of strengthening the competitiveness of Sweden by giving exceptional people a platform to grow their companies.
In this role, you will be working operationally but with a long-term perspective within areas such as building partnerships and establishing strong collaborations with similar organizations. You will also manage and build our Partner Network, as well as bring new initiatives to life such as an Alumni Network and/or the Venture Capital Club.
You always seek creative ideas and innovate to grasp bigger and better opportunities. You foresee what could be best for the organization and understand the importance of partnerships in order for SSE BL to grow and blossom into a wonderful, united and committed association.
We are thus looking for someone who wishes to bring their perspective, share their experience and add their “grain de folie” to our organization, whilst valuing our goals and wanting to help us pick the best partners possible. This position plays a key role since you will be communicating daily with the various department of SSE BL - you should be able to quickly grasp everyone’s needs and hence, lead the uncovering of great potential partnerships whilst keeping those needs in mind.
In this role, you will liaise with the Strategic Partnership & Corporate Relations department at SSE, ensuring that initiatives are in line with SSE strategy.
