Help Shape the Next Chapter of WCN
Women’s Career Network Sweden is recruiting three key leadership positions to help shape the next chapter of the organisation:
We are intentionally building a small, highly committed core leadership team with the ownership, initiative and ambition to strengthen WCN and develop a sustainable model for its future.
Who We Are
Women’s Career Network (WCN) is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to creating opportunities for women and non-binary students and young professionals in business, economics and law.
For more than a decade, WCN has worked to connect ambitious students with one another and with professionals and leading companies through networking, mentorship, events and career-focused initiatives.
WCN Sweden is the founding chapter of the organisation and forms part of a wider international WCN network.
A New Chapter for WCN Sweden
WCN Sweden is entering a new phase of development.
Our immediate priority is not to build the largest possible Board or programme of activities. Instead, we are establishing a strong core leadership team that can strengthen the organisation, refine how we operate and determine where WCN can create the greatest value for its community going forward.
This is an opportunity for individuals who want to actively build and shape an organisation — not simply participate in one.
The incoming leadership team will have genuine scope to influence WCN’s strategy, operating model, community engagement and future direction.
What We Offer
Joining the WCN Sweden Board provides the opportunity to:
All Board positions are part-time and voluntary.
Who We Are Looking For
More than any particular academic background or previous title, we are looking for people who demonstrate:
These are hands-on leadership positions. Board members are expected to lead their respective functions independently while working closely as a team.

OPEN POSITIONS
President / Board Chair
The Role
The President will lead WCN Sweden through its next phase of development.
This is the central leadership position within the organisation and is particularly suited to someone who enjoys bringing structure to complexity, coordinating people and priorities, and turning strategy into action.
The President will work closely with the wider Board, WCN’s Advisory Board and other stakeholders to establish priorities and ensure the organisation moves forward in a focused and sustainable way.
Key Responsibilities
We’re Looking For Someone Who
Previous Board or leadership experience is valuable but not essential. Ownership, judgement and follow-through matter more.
⸻
Head of Operations
The Role
The Head of Operations will build and maintain the internal structure that enables WCN to operate effectively and sustainably.
This role sits at the centre of the organisation and is responsible for turning priorities into clear processes, maintaining institutional knowledge and ensuring that responsibilities, information and timelines do not fall through the cracks.
It is particularly suited to someone who enjoys creating structure from ambiguity.
Key Responsibilities
We’re Looking For Someone Who
This role is ideal for someone interested in operations, project management, consulting, organisational development or entrepreneurship.
⸻
Head of Marketing & Events
The Role
The Head of Marketing & Events will lead how WCN engages its community and brings the organisation’s mission to life externally.
Rather than focusing on volume, the initial priority will be to rebuild consistent engagement and develop a focused programme of high-quality communications and activities that WCN has the capacity to deliver well.
This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
Key Responsibilities
We’re Looking For Someone Who
Experience in marketing, events or communications is helpful, but initiative, judgement and execution are more important than having held a similar title before.
⸻
THE COMMITMENT
These are not passive Board positions.
We are looking for individuals who genuinely want to take ownership of WCN and contribute to building its future.
The workload will vary throughout the year, but candidates should be prepared to dedicate approximately 5–8 hours per week during active periods and to communicate consistently with the wider Board.
In return, you will have considerable autonomy and the opportunity to build tangible leadership experience within an established organisation.
