Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Duration: Full-time 6-month paid Internship beginning in December 2026
Application Deadline: 13th November
Start Date: December 2026
Want to build commercial experience by doing it? As an Internship Placement Coordinator Intern, you'll find new companies, open conversations, progress opportunities, convert host partners, and help place international students with the right employers. You'll work side-by-side with experienced Internship Placement Managers through the busiest months of the year, with real ownership and measurable impact.
Based in Stockholm, you will support our Stockholm program alongside our Internship Placement Managers, reporting directly to the Regional Placement Lead for Northern Europe.
Most of your time goes toward growth: researching markets, building lead lists, cold calling, running discovery calls, and following up with promising companies. You'll also support the placement cycle, from preparing students for interviews to confirming Internship Agreements. Your manager coaches you and approves key decisions, while you are expected to take ownership of your work and deliver tangible results.
In just over a decade, Absolute Internship has grown into a leading name in international education, placing students with world-class companies across 16 cities, from London and Madrid to Tokyo and Singapore. We've been recognized by The New York Times, BBC, and Bloomberg. We're a small, entrepreneurial team: we build our own systems, solve problems quickly, and care deeply about the student experience.
Your impact should be visible in both the commercial pipeline and the student experience. By May, you will have:
Built a healthy pipeline of new companies through research, cold outreach, and discovery calls.
Progressed qualified opportunities and converted new employer relationships into host companies.
Helped students secure strong placement opportunities by preparing them well and moving matches forward.
Kept agreements, deadlines, and HubSpot accurate so your work helped placements move faster.
Research target markets and growing sectors, build lead lists, and enrich contacts in Apollo and HubSpot.
Make cold calls, run discovery calls, and own follow-ups with promising companies.
Run outreach campaigns and maintain momentum with new and existing host companies.
Qualify and screen potential host companies against our quality standards and convert opportunities where appropriate.
Shortlist companies for students, send approved introductions, and schedule interviews.
Run mock interviews and brief students so they walk in fully prepared.
Draft Internship Agreements, track placement and visa deadlines, and flag risks early.
Keep HubSpot accurate and support pre-departure webinars and Q&A sessions where needed.
A Master's student completing a required internship semester, or a recent graduate, in business or a related field.
Business development or sales experience from an internship, part-time job, or venture you started yourself.
A track record of driving results: targets hit, partners won, events filled, or projects you managed.
Comfortable picking up the phone, writing sharp emails, and opening conversations with new contacts.
Experience with a CRM such as HubSpot, or tools like Apollo or LinkedIn Sales Navigator, is a strong bonus.
Available full-time for the 6 months from December 2026 to May 2027.
Based in or around Stockholm with the valid right to work in Sweden.
Fluent in English and Swedish (written and spoken).
Go-Getter: You take initiative, move quickly, and look for proactive ways to make things happen.
Ownership: You take full responsibility for your work, follow through, and keep opportunities moving forward.
Commercial Mindset: You are motivated by measurable results and understand how your daily actions contribute to broader company growth.
Hands-on training in business development, cold calling, discovery calls, HubSpot, and Apollo, plus close mentorship from your Internship Placement Manager and Regional Placement Lead. You'll finish with a clear track record of leads created, companies converted, and placements supported, a professional reference at the end of your contract, and a direct path into Internship Placement Manager roles for strong performers.
