The CBS International Office is seeking a Buddy Programme Coordinator to lead and further develop the CBS Buddy Programme, ensuring a smooth and engaging start for incoming exchange students.
About the CBS Buddy Programme
The CBS Buddy Programme is designed to give exchange students a warm welcome and foster strong connections between local CBS students and international newcomers.
Each semester, CBS students can sign up as volunteer buddies and are matched with incoming exchange students. The programme plays a vital role in helping new students settle into life in Copenhagen, make friends, and adjust to their studies.

- Plan and manage the Buddy Programme for the spring and autumn semesters, as well as Summer University.
- Coordinate the matching process between CBS Buddies and incoming exchange students.
- Organise and oversee the handover of dorm keys to CBS Buddies.
- Communicate key information and provide support to both buddies and incoming students to ensure a smooth experience.
- Collaborate closely with the CBS International Office to ensure the programme runs efficiently. You will, to some extent, also collaborate with team ESP, who are responsible for the social events, including the orientation week.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and work independently.
- A strong communicator, fluent in English, and comfortable working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
- Proficient in coding and Excel (considered a strong plus).
- Available to be in Copenhagen in mid-January and mid-August to support arrivals.

The workload is set to be 10 hours weekly on average. However, be aware that there are peak periods with lots to do and quiet periods with relatively little to do. The peak periods are some weeks in the summer and winter, and the quiet periods are some weeks in the spring and fall. Employment will be in accordance with the HK-organisationsaftale and the Fællesoverenskomsten between the Ministry of Finance and Offentligt Ansatte Organisationer (OAO-S Fællesoverenskomsten). The minimum salary is DKK 140.63 per hour. Additionally, you may receive a supplement, depending on your work experience. You will also receive a pension payment.
It is a requirement that you are a student at a Danish university. Your employment will terminate when you graduate from your university degree.

The application deadline is October 24, 2025. We will conduct job interviews during weeks 44 and 45, and we hope to welcome our new colleague to the team early December or, if possible, late November.
