Available Positions

Student Games – Bergen Challenge

Leader

As Leader, you will have the main responsibility for the project’s internal and external processes. Internally, as the head of the board, you must ensure that the project achieves its goals and ensure that all tasks are followed up. You must also ensure that all volunteers feel welcome and that they get something positive out of the experience. Externally, you will work towards external parties, for example the Norwegian Student Sports Association, in addition to being the organisation’s external face towards the media and other parties. Furthermore, you will have overall responsibility for preparing, as well as achieving, short-term and long-term strategies, in addition to the project’s final result.

As qualities, it is important to be able to see everyone in the organisation, work well with those around you and generally be there for everyone. This is not a position for you who are only looking for something to put on your CV, as a great deal of motivation and interest in the work to be done is required. Nevertheless, it is an experience of a lifetime, and you will gain an incredible number of positive experiences that will undoubtedly be taken with you further!

Head of Finance

Student sports festivals provide sporting joy, friendship and unforgettable memories. However, one is dependent on having a robust economy at the bottom to achieve all this. Head of Finance must ensure this through effective financial management. The position therefore entails a large and valuable responsibility, and provides a golden opportunity to test theory from the school bench in practice already during the study period through budget planning and accounting. Furthermore, as finance manager, you get to test your leadership skills as well as the ability to make decisions under uncertainty.

It is important to be a skilled team player in order to succeed as a finance manager. You must dare to make unpopular decisions given that this is the best for the project. Good communication, constructive feedback and a focus on work balance are therefore important. Would you like an exciting position where you get to help design a fantastic event for students? Then you must apply for Head of Finance!

Head of Sports

The Student Games Bergen Challenge is about the joy of sport. It is the sports section that is responsible for creating. The head of sports is therefore responsible for the selection, planning and execution of all sports. At the same time, you are responsible for booking halls and courts. It sounds simple on paper, but when it comes to around 25 sports that take place simultaneously and spread throughout Bergen, there are (literally) a lot of balls in the air. That is why the sports section is the largest with over 200 volunteers. Do you like to plan things down to the smallest detail? Do you like to lead and motivate many people? Are you passionate about sports? Could you imagine the funnest position NHHS has to offer? Apply for Head of Sports in the Student Games Bergen Challenge, then!

Head of Culture Events

As head of culture in Bergen Challenge, you will have overall responsibility for all non-sporting festivities throughout the sports festival week. You will be responsible for a section of close to 200 officials, who together will raise a sports event to a sports festival. If you think that the Bergen Challenge is about so much more than just sports, that the social arenas in the evening are at least as important for students from all over the country and are motivated to put in a solid piece of work to create an unforgettable period for fellow students from Far and near, the cultural manager role is right for you!

Head of Logistics

Logistics is the backbone of the Bergen Challenge. Officials, athletes, and equipment must be in the right place at the right time, participants must have a place to sleep, and everyone should have access to good food. As head of logistics, you will negotiate agreements with the municipality, hotels, suppliers, and partners. Are you organized, good at negotiations, and able to juggle multiple tasks at once? If you also have a desire to help create a fantastic sports festival, gain leadership experience by leading a great team of BCers, and at the same time build friendships for the rest of your life, then you should apply for head of logistics. 

Head of HR

The head of HR is responsible for our volunteers, which includes the recruitment of 600 volunteers, internal communication and organizing both small and bigger internal social events. In addition to this, you will have the responsibility to organize events together with other groups in NHHS, such as in the Welcome week.

If you are motivated to be in charge of our volunteers, and making sure that it is fun to both participate and volunteer in the Student Games Bergen Challenge – then this is the position for you!

Head of PR

What would SLBC be without participants? Nothing! As head of PR, you will be responsible for promoting SLBC to students across the entire country. Are you outgoing, engaging, social and have a good eye for visuals? Then this is the perfect job for you.

As head of PR, you are responsible for a big variety of tasks. This includes e.g. recruiting, graphics, media and PR. Typical tasks would be setting up a stand, organizing a roadshow, doing PR stunts and designing SLBC’s graphic profile. You are only limited by your own creativity, and you have to be both structured and creative to be able to reach the geographical and athletic width of SLBC’s optimal participant pool. Sounds cool? Apply now!

Head of Corporate Relations

As Head of Corporate Relations in BC, you are responsible for cooperation with the business world and entering into sponsorship agreements. Agreements with external parties are a prerequisite for a successful student sports festival, both because of the financial support and the cooperation you get with the companies. The marketing manager’s most central tasks will be to secure good main collaboration partners for SLBC, obtain buckets of freebies and prizes as well as apply for support from funds and endowments. A marketing manager should therefore have enormous willpower, good communication skills and be raw in negotiations. You will be responsible for one of the smallest, but most close-knit, sections in the entire SLBC. If this sounds tempting, you should apply for the position of Head of Corporate Relations in Bergen Challenge!

Klubb- og kulturutvalget

Would you like to help run and develop stud.NHH’s second home? The Club and Culture Committee (KKU) is one of the largest sub-committees in NHHS. Our main responsibility is to run Klubben, Campus, and Aulabar, and to ensure that sub-committees and interest groups are supplied with whatever drinks they want. KKU’s duties also involve arranging parties and other social welfare services for the students. In other words: If something of a festive nature happens at NHH, KKU is usually involved in one way or another! Overall, the operating locations have a relatively high annual turnover, despite a price level that is not precisely discouragingly high. In terms of area, we can also boast that we run one of Bergen’s largest nightclubs. The club is open on weekdays and is the school’s party venue when parties, auditorium shows, and other events organized by NHHS are organized. We have an offer for all the school’s students and want to be the first choice when stud.NHH needs a break from the reading room and academic work. The club and culture committee has undergone major changes in recent years. A consistent goal for the subcommittee is to ensure that Klubben, Campus and Aulabar are run in the best possible way, and to create the greatest possible student welfare at the school. The members of the board must therefore continuously look for improvements and take the initiative to implement measures. KKU’s around 40 members are organized into six groups and are helped by all the first-year students at the school, who contribute during their first year at the school. The board carries out appointments and lays down the overall practical and financial plan for the operation each semester. A year on the board of the student union’s most festive sub-committee will undoubtedly give you many challenges and experiences, in addition to many new friends, fantastic nachspiel, an unforgettable cabin trip and a unique insight into how to organize the legendary NHH parties!

Leader

The head of KKU has an overall responsibility for coordinating the work carried out in the subcommittee, from day-to-day operations to longer-term planning. You will act as a deputy for the holder of the liquor license in NHHS and it will be your responsibility to ensure that the operation of Klubben, Campus and Aulabar takes place in line with the regulations. As a manager, you will encounter many exciting challenges. There is a lot going on in “Norway’s best and most active student association” and you will have a lot of contact with your fellow students, other sub-committees and interest groups. Far more is organized in Kjelleren than you might think, and you will find that NHHS’s calendar of activities includes far more than just big parties. You will thus also experience that the tasks can range from being quite small to much larger. You will learn to deal with situations head-on and find solutions to most things. As head of the Club and Culture Committee, you will thus experience that the concept of a “quiet evening” will not necessarily be the same as before and that Klubben will quickly become your second home! Still, it is ultimately the responsibility of leading the great KKU gang through the big parties that are best remembered by any subcommittee leader. A lot happens, from planning events several weeks in advance to the sweeping up of broken plastic glasses at 03.00 at night. Nights like this, and the leadership position in general, generate a lot of tired muscles, worn out shoes and a particularly strained relationship with words like “diff”, “break” and “deviation”, but most of all a whole bunch of fantastically good memories you would never be without.

Head of Financial Affairs

As the Head of Financial Affairs in the Club and Culture committee, it is your main responsibility to have an overview of KKU’s finances. It is a very educational and versatile position where you get to try out a number of both relevant and interesting tasks. Among other things, you will be responsible for budgeting, keeping vouchers, invoicing various groups, approving invoices and checking all daily settlements. You will be responsible for a staff of around seven to nine members who will assist you in your work. You will also need to have a good overview of what is happening at all ends of the KKU’s bar operation, as you will continuously make decisions together with the rest of the board. Head of Financial Affairs at KKU is an incredibly fun position. Previous knowledge of accounting is not a requirement, as you will receive sufficient training and a supplementary knowledge book. So don’t hesitate, apply for the position of Head of Financial Affairs at KKU!

Bar Manager

In the bar group, there will be eleven to twelve members besides yourself, so that the work rotates from week to week. As bar manager, you must ensure that you have an overview of all alcoholic and non alcohol beverages going in and out of NHHS’ storage rooms. You will have regular inventory counts and control of the inventory together with the head of financial affairs in the executive board and the controller. You will have a lot of contact with subcommittees and interest groups through ordering and requisitioning of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. In addition, you will be the contact person for the student association with regards to Hansa. You will have exciting tasks and work behind the scenes to find an attractive range of products and suitable prices. You do not need to be a beer enthusiast or wine connoisseur to become a bar manager. But if you are reliable, interested in everything that happens behind the bar, and ready to coordinate the student association’s inventory – then you can become KKU’s next bar manager!

Head of Cultural Affairs

Are you interested in making things happen? Then the position as Head of Cultural Affairs is perfect for you! The goal of KKU is to offer a rich and diverse range of activities and cultural events for NHH students, and this will be your main responsibility. In your position, you are responsible for the programs that KKU offers, both at large events and in everyday life. Along with the members of your group, you will work from brainstorming to the actual execution of the events. You are responsible for organizing and decorating for parties and other activities to set the right mood for the evening. Not least, you are responsible for organizing pub quizzes and providing students with everyday activities. You will handle the booking of premises in Kjelleren as well. In KKU, it is up to you to decide what happens in the club. Are you proactive, creative, and good at planning and organizing? Apply for the position!

A good collaboration with the IT-group, the technical group (TG) and the Technical Department (TA) is important. You are also, together with TA, responsible for fire protection in the basement. Of course, there are a number of unforeseen challenges that will make your day-to-day life in KKU both varied and challenging.

Head of PR

As the Head of PR at KKU, you are responsible for ensuring that the entire school knows what’s happening in Klubben. Together with your group, you will carry out promotions and ticket sales for KKU’s events. This involves creating and hanging posters, posting news on nhhs.no and plasma screens, creating and selling tickets, updating Klubben’s Facebook page, and otherwise, only your imagination sets the limits for what you can come up with. One of your bigger challenges will be getting people to come down to Klubben on weekdays, which you can think about together with the Head of Cultural Affairs. Are you excited to spread the word about what’s happening in the basement of NHH? Apply for the position as Head of PR!

Head of Social Affairs

This position is perfect for you who like to organize gatherings and make others happy! The position is divided into two so that you are both HR manager for “Klubben” and social manager within KKU. You are responsible for the workforce in “Klubben”, “Campus” and “Aulabar”.
