International Generalist

About the programme:

Our brand new Early Careers Programme is designed to help you grow into your perfect position at Adevinta, finding the perfect match between your personal passion and interests and Adevinta business needs. 

How?

We do not work with normal job descriptions- or rotations. Our programme is based on gigs, specific short term assignments within different teams/ areas- and projects. You will start off with a variety of gigs that are narrowed down with time, helping you to find a position that you are truly interested in and that is in line with Adevinta’s future talent needs. We will then, in a second step, help you obtain the competencies needed to develop into that role, making sure to intentionally develop you towards your dream position.
