Aalto University Founder School operates as a startup within the university: moving fast, delivering results quickly, iterating, piloting, and pivoting. We enjoy working with people who are excited to make things happen on short notice.

This role is a great preparation for future work as a startup founder or in hectic and demanding leadership roles. This position suits someone early in their career with an interest in ecosystem and community building, entrepreneurship, events, and communications in a fast-moving environment.

Job duties may change over time. Teamwork and open communication are a must. This job requires physical presence most workdays. Work and collaboration is done in English.

The Coordinator has the main responsibility for organizing Founder Talks and other Founder School events, while also helping Founder School build stronger connections with students, alumni, founders, mentors, investors, student organizations, and relevant partners across the startup ecosystem.

The role ensures that Founder School is visible on campus, that events are well-executed and well-attended, and that different parts of the ecosystem can meaningfully engage with Founder School.

This role is a great preparation for future work in startups, community building, ecosystem development, event production, entrepreneurship education, or fast-moving leadership roles.
