About IM

We're a feminist and anti-racist organisation on a mission to tackle poverty and fight injustices. We're committed to innovation, accountability and real results and we're always looking for passionate people who want to help us stay relevant.

About the internship

Come join IM's Global Operations team! Our work is to support our colleagues globally. We develop innovative methods for analyzing results, and make sure that our tools and routines are relevant and effective for 70+ partner organizations that we support financially. We also cultivate the relationship with IM's back donors like Sida.

For this internship a 50% office presence in the office in Lund is required. IM reimburses local public transport travel costs, for example between Malmö and Lund.

Your profile

This is an internship for you who have a broad interest in international development. You have an analytical mind and like digging into the data we have available. You might also have experience of, or interest in, facilitation of online meetings and conferences.

No knowledge of Swedish is required, neither written nor oral. English is our corporate language so you need to have a level of English equivalent to CEFR B1. Knowledge of Arabic or Spanish could be an advantage.

IM applies self-leadership, which means that you will take a big responsibility for your own work, you are dynamic, motivated and can make your own, well-founded decisions.

It is a given that you stand behind our values and support equal human rights, and that you have a strong motivation to contribute to a sustainable development. 

Candidates with diverse backgrounds are warmly encouraged to apply, because we know that enhanced creativity and innovation is the result of multiple perspectives. Our goal is an organisation made up by people of diverse experiences, abilities, life stories, perspectives and competencies, where everybody regardless of identity enjoys a safe space where they have opportunities to grow and feel belonging. To reach this goal we constantly check ourselves to make sure that we really walk the talk as a feminist and anti-racist workplace
