Role & responsibilities

The goal of the Brand & Product Ambassador Program is to establish the brand image and product understanding at universities across Europe. As a Brand & Product Ambassador (BPA) you are a student and will become the local face of the brand at your campus. You are responsible for building and managing the brand at your university, and winning new subscribers via a strong product trial program.

As a BPA you will become part of a startup with big possibilities, and work with a passionate and driven team. The Lix culture is all about being first movers and pushing boundaries. In Lix, there is room for creativity, independence, bottom-up thinking and the opportunity to develop your project management skills.

Lix BPAs value flexibility over a 9 to 5 job, and love to work in an atmosphere where no days are alike. The working hours will differ from month-to-month depending on the business needs and the user group availability. August and September are high seasons, with more work expected.
