AI Sweden is looking for an Event Manager to further strengthen our Ecosystem and Partnership Team. In this role, you will organize events, hold workshops, arrange meetings, etc.
Artificial intelligence is transforming society. AI Sweden is the national centre for applied artificial intelligence, jointly funded by the Swedish government and our partners, both public and private. Our mission is to accelerate the use of AI for the benefit of our society, our competitiveness, and for everyone living in Sweden.
We are now looking for an Event Manager to further strengthen our Ecosystem and Partnership Team.
About the position
As an Event Manager you will be responsible for organizing events, holding workshops, arrange meetings, etc. You will work both internally and externally, where a majority of the events will be held together with our partner organizations. You will take care of everything from setting up a plan to executing; inviting attendees, order food, prepare the venue, etc. You will not be alone, we always work as a team and are ready to support each other.
The events are both physical and digital, so you will work with on-site event management as well as digital event production. Since our events take place in Stockholm and Göteborg, you will regularly travel between the two cities. Since AI Sweden is a national program, travel to other cities in Sweden might also be needed.
In addition, you will be responsible for the more strategic aspects when it comes to event management.
We believe that you as a person are:
- driven and have a doer’s mindset.
- good at communicating and like to meet new people and create professional networks.
- structured and good at working independently.
- dedicated and likes to take responsibility for your work; from ideation through production and over the finishing line.
- good at paying attention to details as well as seeing the broader picture.
Work-wise you:
- have a few years working experience.
- have experience from arranging physical events as well as digital event production.
- have experience from holding workshops.
- speak and write fluently in English and Swedish.
- are used to working under stress.
- are able to regularly travel between Stockholm and Göteborg.
- have a basic knowledge about AI and innovation.
Who we’re looking for:
To us, artificial intelligence is not only about tech, it’s a force for positive societal change. To work here, you don’t need to know “everything” about AI, but you need to believe in its potential to help shape our society for the better. Some of our colleagues are leading AI experts, but far from all of us are as technically well versed. You’ll be working alongside journalists, linguists, policy professionals, leading AI-scientists, historians, entrepreneurs, change leaders, and many more.
Why work for AI Sweden?
At AI Sweden, you’ll be part of a diverse and highly skilled team with inspiring colleagues all working with a higher purpose in mind than “just” tech.
As an organization, we’re uniquely positioned at the sweet spot of governmental oomph and startup nimbleness. Small enough to stay adaptive and have fun but backed by and in close contact with both state and industry, both private and public.
And, we can most certainly be a platform helping you realize your ideas. Bring a good one, big or small, and we most likely will support and co-create with you.
In short, we like to believe we offer our staff a place to grow, an environment for personal development.

An equal and fair working environment
We strongly believe in diversity and inclusion and are acutely aware of the skewed gender balance in our industry. We actively strive to put together a diverse team in terms of age, gender and background.
Naturally, we’re under a collective agreement (“kollektivavtal”) and offer everything that comes with it in terms of annual leave, pensions, wellness allowance (“friskvårdsbidrag”), and such.
