Does Jurri the monkey show up in your naps with alarming frequency? Is the dance floor at Escape already so worn out that it’s time to take the stage? Do you feel a burning passion for developing Jyväskylä’s best interdisciplinary parties?
Applications for the Head of the Interdisciplinary Overall Party team, aka the Poikkarit team, open on 19.10.!
The Head’s core responsibilities include overseeing the event’s execution, managing the team, communicating with stakeholders, and developing the Poikkarit brand and concept. The new Head of Poikkarit team will also be responsible for recruiting the future team. During your year as the Head, you can expect a lot of responsibility, a lot of freedom, educational experiences, and great moments with amazing people.
What do we expect from you?
The Head of Poikkarit team is expected to have a genuine desire to help Poikkarit move forward. The Head must already be familiar with the brand and have some kind of vision for the future of the parties.
Applicants must have strong communication and organizational skills, as well as the ability to take responsibility. Previous volunteer work and experience organizing parties are considered a plus, but are not required for the position.
How to apply?
The application process consists of an application and an interview. Send an open application to poikkaripaallikko@porssiry.fi by Sunday, 25.10., at 23.59, with the subject line “Head of the Interdisciplinary Overall Party team recruitment 2027.”
In your application, we’d like to hear why you’re applying for this position, as well as about any experience you may have with project work and event planning. We aim to interview applicants during the application period and immediately afterward, in weeks 44–45. Interviews will primarily be conducted in person, but remote interviews are also possible if necessary.
