BOARD OF WCN SWEDEN 2026–2027

LINK TO APPLICATION 

Women’s Career Network Sweden is now recruiting a new Board for Autumn 2026 – Spring 2027.

Who We Are

Women’s Career Network (WCN) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for women and non-binary students and young professionals in business and law. Our mission is to support and inspire the next generation of leaders by building inclusive communities and facilitating access to mentorship, career insights, and top-tier companies. WCN Sweden is the founding chapter of the organization and works closely with our international network, including WCN Finland.

A Note on This Year’s Recruitment

WCN is currently in a phase of growth and development. We are placing a strong focus on:

• Clear ownership across roles
• Strong commitment and accountability
• Building a sustainable structure for the future

• Take on a real leadership role with ownership of a key function
• Work closely with ambitious, driven individuals
• Build a strong professional network with companies and mentors
• Gain hands-on experience in running and developing an organization

Please note: All positions are part-time, voluntary, and unpaid.

Expectations

As a board member, you are expected to:

• Take full ownership of your role
• Identify what needs to be done and drive it forward independently
• Communicate proactively and follow through on commitments
• Collaborate with the wider board to stay aligned

This is not a role where tasks are assigned weekly — you are expected to lead your function. Estimated time commitment: ~5–10 hours per week
