- Take turns with the team to create and present short, snappy trend reports on the kids and tweens market during our studio-wide Monday meetings.

Good to know!
This is a 12-month parental leave cover position starting in August 2026. It is based in our Stockholm office with a hybrid working model (part office, part working from home). You need to be located in Sweden as we are unable to support relocation or offer remote work. As we’re an international company, with over 20 nationalities working here, and millions of users all over the world, you have to be fluent in English. Your application should therefore be in English.
