You are also a constructive team player who supports our communication advisors with the planning and implementation of impactful events. You will be open to travelling and organising events across the Nordic Region and occasionally in EU countries.
Our work is guided by the Nordic Vision 2030: to become the world’s most sustainable and integrated region in the world. We want you to contribute to Nordregio’s ambition of being an environmentally conscious, caring, and equal workplace.

  • Good command and understanding of digital event tools (we use ungapped) and CMS (wordpress)
  • Experience working with streaming (in a studio), video content and editing is an advantage.

Key personal attributes
  • Strong Communication Skills: Both verbal and written communication skills are critical for coordinating with team members, vendors, and clients, and promoting events effectively.
  • Creative Problem-Solver: The ability to think creatively and adapt to unforeseen challenges during event planning and execution.
  • Team Player: Someone who works well in a collaborative team environment, but can also take charge and lead projects when necessary.
  • Calm Under Pressure: The capacity to remain composed and effective in high-pressure or last-minute situations, especially on event days.
  • Adaptable and Flexible: The ability to handle changes in plans or last-minute adjustments with ease.
  • Networker and Relationship Builder: Someone who is skilled at building relationships with colleagues, vendors, clients, and other key stakeholders.

Main responsibilities
  • Develop and plan the institution's flagship external events, including our annual conference Nordregio Forum
  • Coordination and ordering services for events, such as venues, food, accommodation, livestreams, etc and outreach to speakers and relevant stakeholders for events.
  • Travel and coordinate event production at venues across the Nordic region and mange contacts with suppliers throughout the region
  • Plan and implement strategic internal events and conferences, liaising with our internal administrative team
  • Manage budgets and track expenses for events
  • System manager for our event coordination tool (Ungapped)
  • Advise project managers on organizing project workshops and if time allows support implementation
  • Contribute to the communication department's studio and webinar activities
  • Responsible for ensuring that events follow the institution's sustainable events checklist

Why Nordregio?
Working at Nordregio means significant career development potential in terms of enhancing your communications skills and toolbox, experience in project management and knowledge of regional development and sustainability issues. You will also have ample opportunities to collaborate with regional and municipal stakeholders in the Nordic countries and attend high-level international meetings.
In addition, Nordregio pays special attention to its employees’ wellbeing, offering competitive health benefits, encouraging social gatherings and peer-to-peer learning, and supporting the international atmosphere. Our team boasts almost fifty curious minds from fifteen different countries.

According to the agreement “Avtale om rettstilling for samnordiske institusjoner og deres ansatte”, you are entitled to a leave of absence from your present position for the duration of your employment at Nordregio if you are employed by the State in a Nordic country.
