Recruitment may have taken a hit during the corona pandemic but our proprietary Virtual Career Fair platform has skyrocketed these last month! We see a huge. demand for this type of interaction going foward - all universities and event organisers need to digitise their events, and Graduateland is ahead of the curve.

You have a high energy level and are able to set a direction and motivate a group of people to follow along. Therefore, you also need to have good people and communication skills.

Maybe you've been in a startup before, maybe you've had your own company, or maybe you're just tired of the bureaucracy of corporate life and wishes to join a smaller setup - on it's way upwards.

You are hands-on and ready to do the work as an integrated part of your own team. You like to execute on what you set in motion yourself - not just sit and wait for others to make things happen.

You are a generalist, a do'er, a leader - for yourself and for everyone in the company, taking initiative and helping other departments out when needed.

And you have a love for the world of education, universities, students and graduates. These are the people we are working with and building for.

Your team is called Product & Tech, and is the merging of two teams into one unit. Product & Tech consists now of 4 full-time and 1 part time employee, where 3 work remotely.

• Good understanding of digital design principles and the Agile framework

• Good understanding of how programming/software development works

• Holistic understanding of the interplay between product, marketing and sales

• Professional writing skills, preferably in both English and Danish

What are we offering?

We offer a full-time position located in Østerbro, Copenhagen. You can set checkmarks regarding the pension scheme and a lot of flexibilty of how you manage your schedule.

We offer a group of colleagues with an average age of 29 - a young vibe and great energy every day at work - as well as at our Friday bars, parties, trips etc.

Who are we?

Graduateland was founded 10 years ago and has grown to become the preferred partner for "early recruitment" in Denmark. We've expanded to Europe and have multiple partner universities spread out across Europe.

We have a user base of 1.500.000 students and graduates and counting. Our users love our focus on student jobs, internships, graduate programs - and full time positions for when they graduate their educations.

We have 30+ university partners, including all 8 Danish universities. The partnerships entail that we provide a white-label version of Graduateland.com to the individual universities, customizes to their brand identity, educational focus and other needs. The development of all these so called 'gateways' is a major focus for the coming years.

Our team consists of 20 'Graduatelands' from Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Lithuania, Czech Republic, Germany, the US and Italy. The majority work with customer success/sales, while the rest work with product, software development and operations.

Our platform is both a web app and a native mobile app for iOS and Android. The platform is mainly built in PHP, where the native apps use ReactJS. Besides our user-facing platforms, we also have an internal Admin system, a Recruiter for companies to post jobs and projects, a University admin system and our internal CRM. These complimentary systems also live under the Product-department's area of responsibility.

When do you start?

We'd rather wait for the perfect candidate than rush it - so we don't have a specific time and date for when to start. But we imagine some time during the summer. If you are ready to start ASAP, that's great - but we also have the flexibility to wait, if you are currently employed somewhere else.
