Admissions Caseworker (maternity cover)

We’re looking for a temporary colleague from 15 November 2024 to 15 July 2025 to join our busy team.

We are part of Student Affairs, within the Study Administration of CBS. Student Affairs works with admissions, study support, guidance, information and communication to all full-degree students at CBS. Student Affairs is busy, especially in the run up to admission deadlines, study start and big events, but that doesn’t stop us from prioritising development and collaboration across the teams.

We need a maternity cover to assist in the graduate admission round with casework and daily processes. We’re a small team and process approx. 16,000 applications from approx. 8000 applicants for approx. 3000 study places. Our focus is to admit the right students to the right programmes and ensure a fair and correct process for all our applicants. We have a strong culture for collectively planning and organising our tasks to individually work through. We are driven by evaluating, optimising and implementing our processes for the benefit of both CBS and our applicants.

Work tasks include:

• Casework of applications from both Danish and non-Danish applicants
• Following up in the casework process of applicants
• Answering emails from potential and actual applicants

We expect you to:

• have an academic bachelor’s or master’s degree
• have an understanding of business administration either from your studies or from previous work experience
• speak and write fluent English and to have a working knowledge of Danish

We’re looking for a colleague who:

• has a natural talent for organisation and administration
• works systematically and effectively
• is reliable and takes responsibility for their tasks
• likes to work with IT tools and systems (experience with Excel is a necessity)
• respects standards and rules and is capable of doing routine tasks as part of the job

Flexibility in your working hours is required, as you are expected to work extra hours from mid-February to mid-June; the extra hours will be used as days off in July.

We offer a busy workplace with good colleagues who all work with, and for, our students. We are a diverse group of full-time as well as student employees, Danish and non-Danish, young and not-so-young but we support each other in our tasks, in an informal atmosphere and close collaboration.

Appointment and salary will be in accordance with the agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and Akademikerne (AC) as academic officer (AC-fuldmægtig). The weekly average work hours are 37 hours, but with considerable variations throughout the employment. The employment period is 15 November 2024 to 15 July 2025.

For further information on the position, please contact team coordinator Simona Nicola, [email protected].

Interviews are held Tuesday 29 October.

The application deadline is Tuesday 22 October.

Copenhagen Business School invites all qualified candidates to apply for the position. An appointment committee will review the applications and invite a selection of qualified candidates to an interview. One of CBS’ strategic goals is the promotion of diversity, which is why every effort has been made to ensure a recruitment process that reduces potential bias. Applicants are therefore encouraged not to include a photo or unnecessary personal information in their application.

The application must include motivated application, cv and diploma for bachelor’s/master’s degree and must be sent through the electronic recruitment system, using the link below.
