Role & responsibilities

The goal of the Brand & Product Ambassador Program is to establish the brand image and product understanding at universities across Europe. As a Brand & Product Ambassador (BPA) you are a student and will become the local face of the brand at your campus. You are responsible for building and managing the brand at your university, and winning new subscribers via a strong product trial program.

As a BPA you will become part of a startup with big possibilities, and work with a passionate and driven team. The Lix culture is all about being first movers and pushing boundaries. In Lix, there is room for creativity, independence, bottom-up thinking and the opportunity to develop your project management skills.

Lix BPAs value flexibility over a 9 to 5 job, and love to work in an atmosphere where no days are alike. The working hours will differ from month-to-month depending on the business needs and the user group availability. August and September are high seasons, with more work expected. You’ll be expected to work 10 hours per week on a yearly average. 

The work takes place on and around your campus, with occasional travel to the Lix headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark.
