Your Responsibilities
You will be responsible for managing the existing clients of HousingAnywhere.com in Scandinavia & Finland. You will be working from our office in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

Tasks of an “Account Manager Scandinavia & Finland”
- Launch our platform at the universities together with your local team
- Launch a marketing campaign at new and existing universities in Scandinavia & Finland
- Keep in touch with our clients (universities) in Scandinavia & Finland.
Cool Things
- This is not your average internship: You are directly responsible for everything that will happen in your country, which is cool if things go right (and which is not cool when your country underperforms..).
- You will develop your negotiation, leadership, and business communication skills
- You will instruct an online team of 5-15 people; Leading online teams is a skill that is very good to have, since a lot of international companies are moving from country teams to online teams as well.
- Our team consists of 16 people, with 14 nationalities, of which the oldest person is 26 years old; also having this experience of working in an international work environment will be a good element to have on your CV.
- You will be working in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam, in the picturesque student neighborhood of Kralingen. Rotterdam is the second biggest city in the Netherlands and is one hour by train from the capital Amsterdam
Requirements
Characteristics we are looking for in our Account Managers:
- Knowledge about the country: you should have either worked or studied in Scandinavia or Finland
- Language: you should be able to speak either Norwegian or Swedish or Danish or Swedish or Finnish on an above-average level.
- Independent: The ability to work independently (you report directly to the Founder of the company and the Management Coordinator) and to demonstrate leadership.
- Structured: The ability to work in a structured manner: the only way to make sure that HousingAnywhere.com will not become a victim of its own growth, is to be very organized. You will need to work according to specific checklists of our framework and develop the checklists yourself if they do not yet exist.
- Productive and motivated worker: We need someone who is a hard worker and is really passionate about HousingAnywhere.com. You will work 40 hours a week, but should HousingAnywhere.com grow much more rapidly than expected, we are looking for people who are willing to go the extra mile. It has happened that our interns had to work on a Sunday. Although this is not common, you should be prepared for it!
- Energetic, optimistic and imaginative power: you need to motivate a team of students, also in bad times.
