We are hiring a superstar Management Trainee to support the Management team!

Norrsken Foundation is on a mission to put a positive ding in the universe. In our first five years of existence we’ve created Europe’s largest impact Hub in Stockholm, launched the world’s largest early-stage impact VC fund, founded some 10 companies and given birth to our own Impact Accelerator programme. We also continue to gather some of the world’s greatest thinkers in the recurring end-of-summer Impact Week, aimed at challenging decision makers and celebrating role models. On top of this, we are constructing East Africa’s largest hub for startups in Kigali, Rwanda. But we’re only getting started.

Norrsken Foundation is a place where recent graduates can thrive. A place where you can develop skills and get hands-on experience together with some of the best minds in the world. A place where you can truly put a positive ding in the universe.
