Become an International Student Ambassador for Diak!

Would you like to share your journey of studying in Finland? Do you love creating engaging social media content and want to help future students find their path to Diak and Helsinki?

We are looking for enthusiastic International Student Ambassadors for the upcoming autumn semester! This is your chance to be part of building Diak’s very first international marketing team – so come and make history with us!

Radically Human

Studying in Finland and at Diak is a unique experience. We offer a high-quality supportive environment, combined with the honest, authentic realities of student life in Helsinki (yes, even the dark winter days). We want our marketing to be positive, helpful, authentic, and humane. The main goal is to provide valuable information to all potential students from various backgrounds, age groups, and situations in life.

Your Role and Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Marketing: Help our marketing team co-create and tailor content that resonates with potential applicants.
• Content Creation: Produce engaging social media content for Diak’s official channels.
• Peer Support: Be an inspiring voice for potential applicants by sharing insights about Diak, Helsinki, and student life, helping them on their journey to becoming international students.

Who are we looking for?

• You are currently studying at Diak in either the Social Services or Nursing program (and will not graduate before 2027).
• You have personally experienced the pains and joys of studying abroad.
• As a person, you are reliable, solution-oriented, flexible, friendly, and fun to work with!
• Since you will be creating content for official Diak channels, you understand how to work within set brand guidelines and themes – or are willing to learn.
• You are committed to attending mandatory training sessions in early September, as well as regular weekly meetings and – based on the skills of the chosen ambassadors – designated content creation days.

The following will be considered a plus when evaluating candidates:

• You have previous work experience in marketing, sales, or customer service (in any company or field).
• You have previous experience in and a passion for content creation, which you can demonstrate to us (on any channel of your choosing).
• You have previous experience living, studying, or working in at least one of the following countries: Türkiye, Tanzania, Ghana, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, or the Philippines.

What’s in it for you?

• Gain Valuable Experience: Add international marketing and social media experience (in the education sector) to your CV.
• Support & Training: Receive comprehensive training plus continuous mentoring and support from marketing experts.
• Flexibility: We will try our best to schedule compulsory meetings around your studies as much as possible, so your academics won’t suffer. We are aware that in some cases this might mean meetings after 5 pm.
• Compensation: Approx. EUR 240–400 per month. Note: The workload and compensation will vary according to the number of students we eventually hire. In any case, the maximum working hours are less than 30 per month.

*Possible future opportunities: If the collaboration goes well, we can potentially extend the contract for spring 2027. This is not guaranteed, but nevertheless a true possibility.

How to apply?

Be creative and show us your skills! To apply, please provide:

• COMPULSORY: A short introductory video. Send us a max. 120-second video where you talk about yourself and answer the question: “Why should someone choose to study at Diak and come to live in Finland?” Please note that we are not impressed by content created solely with AI. In addition, please note that we cannot accept video files directly. Hence, your video should be uploaded to a service where it can be viewed online while you retain control of the video. 
• EXTRA: Proof of content creation experience. Send us a link to your public social media account OR provide a link to a social media video you have produced (but not necessarily published). You may freely choose the content.
• OPTIONAL: Your CV and an application letter. This is valuable especially if you have previous marketing, sales, or customer service experience.
