Program Manager for F1RST's School Program

4 days ago

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Handelshögskolan i Stockholm Full time
Project Background
The F1RST Foundation is a new initiative by the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) and the Daniel Sachs Foundation (DSF), with the long-term ambition to diversify and make the Swedish business sector more inclusive.

This is realized through corporate partnerships with various stakeholders in the finance and business sectors. We are now continuing to scale up the initiative and create more opportunities, deepening the collaboration with our partner schools and corporate partners to create lasting change.

F1RST aims to broaden and diversify recruitment to higher education by building and supporting a nationwide community of business-oriented talents from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the Swedish business sector and finance industry. The foundation's work also aims to increase diversity among applicants to educational programs at colleges and universities around the country, with a particular focus on Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö.

This role requires some evening commitments each month to facilitate program meetings and other activities within the foundation.

Job Responsibilities
Your responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
As the Program Manager for F1RST's school program aimed at middle and high school students, you will play a central role in our team. Your primary responsibility is to lead and further develop our school programs, with a special focus on middle and high schools. You will:

- Have overall responsibility for the target group of middle and high school students within F1RST's community.
- In addition to the school program, also be responsible for special advanced programs aimed at middle and high school students (such as F1RST Step Up and F1RST's open events for this target group).
- Lead campaigns to recruit and select youth participants.
- Design, coordinate, and oversee several school programs simultaneously.
- Ensure that the school program maintains high quality and has a well-thought-out program design.
- Follow and plan according to an already developed program format for "F1RST Step", which requires you to be well-acquainted with its structure and thematic content.
- Continuously evaluate and improve the programs to ensure their effectiveness and relevance.
- Develop and implement methods to measure and evaluate the impact of our school programs together with the rest of the team.
- Play a key role in expanding our network of business-oriented young talents, especially those from underrepresented groups within the business and finance sectors.
- Create and maintain partnerships with primary and secondary schools and maintain relationships with industry ambassadors and various contacts from our corporate partners.

Your efforts will focus on developing, planning, and executing program activities that not only inspire but also arouse a strong interest in university studies. It is crucial that you maintain active dialogue with various parts of the F1RST network to ensure that our community remains relevant and engaged. In addition, you will be tasked with creating and maintaining partnerships with primary and secondary schools and maintaining relationships with industry ambassadors and various contacts from our corporate partners. These collaborations are crucial to making our projects impactful and meaningful. Your role is vital in inspiring and preparing the next generation of leaders and providing them with valuable opportunities and support that will pave the way for their future success.

Your Profile
We believe that you are quick to learn, self-driven, service-minded, and proactive. You are a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion and for youth. You are humble, structured, high-energy, with a "can-do" attitude, and the ability to manage multiple projects under pressure. You need to be able to work independently as well as enjoy collaborating with the team. Effective communication and problem-solving skills and the ability to handle challenges and feedback professionally are also important.

Previous Experience Required:
- Youth work, preferably with underrepresented groups
- Customer service and support
- Planning and implementing program content/workshops/events
- Fluent in English and Swedish, both spoken and written
- Excellent writing skills

It is an advantage if you have:
