Artificial intelligence is transforming society.

We are now looking for a PR Manager to further strengthen our Communications Team.
About the position
AI Sweden is developing at a fast pace and we constantly work to improve how we build and position ourselves in the wider debate and strengthen our thought leadership. You will be part of an ambitious and driven communications team with backgrounds in journalism, marketing, social science and much more. The role will include tasks that are both strategic and hands on, such as:
- Act on opportunities for using PR and communications to inspire and catalyze decision makers towards using AI to create tangible business and societal value.
- Identify opportunities for positioning AI Sweden in the larger debate and contextualize what we do.
- Drive and implement a thought leadership strategy within prioritized areas in line with organizational goals.
- Proactively write press releases and articles, as well as provide input and liaise with our partner organizations for their PR activities.
- Advise the wider organization on PR-related issues.
- Manage, plan, execute and follow up on relevant PR activities during larger events and launches, such as press conferences.
- Act as AI Sweden’s press secretary and build strong relations with relevant media and stakeholders.
- Support the leadership team and spokespersons with speaking points, core messaging and media training.
- Create PR-related content for our digital platforms.
We believe that as a person you’re

- able to prioritize, coordinate and navigate incoming requests and collaborations with a wider range of partner organizations.
- great at seeing the bigger picture, opportunities and risks and draw relevant conclusions based on organizational goals.
- excellent at collaborating with people from many different disciplines and backgrounds and build trust with internal and external stakeholders.
- a doer and someone who makes things happen and constantly looks for ways to take the next step.
- comfortable with acting on your own initiative while understanding when to seek input from colleagues.
And workwise, you
- have several years of experience working with PR, media relations and press, and the seniority to make judgment calls and drive your own area of work.
- are excellent at building networks and growing strong relationships with relevant media and stakeholders.
- are great at understanding complex topics and making them relevant to an external audience.
- have documented experience of shaping the conversation and setting the agenda in a successful way.
- are comfortable with both writing and speaking in Swedish and English.
Why work for AI Sweden?
At AI Sweden, you’ll be part of a diverse and highly skilled team with inspiring colleagues, all working with a higher purpose in mind than “just” tech. You'll work alongside journalists, linguists, policy professionals, leading AI scientists, historians, entrepreneurs, change leaders, and many more.
As an organization, we’re uniquely positioned at the sweet spot of governmental oomph and startup nimbleness. Small enough to stay adaptive and have fun but backed by and in close contact with both state and industry, both private and public.
In short, we like to believe we offer our team members a place to grow, an environment for personal development.

An equal and fair working environment
We strongly believe in diversity and inclusion and are acutely aware of the skewed gender balance in our industry. We actively strive to put together a diverse team in terms of age, gender and background.
Naturally, we’re under a collective agreement (“kollektivavtal”) and offer everything that comes with it in terms of annual leave, pensions, wellness allowance (“friskvårdsbidrag”), and such.
We kindly ask not to be contacted by any advertisement agents, recruitment agencies or manning companies.
Interviews are conducted continuously, and the position is expected to be filled promptly.
