Applications for the KY Board 2025 are now open!
The KY Board holds the highest executive power at KY. They represent the voice and face of our members, uphold our strategy and traditions, and ensure that all KY members enjoy the best student experience possible.
The KY Board is a full-time (with flexible hours), paid position of responsibility from 1.1.2025–31.12.2025. However, onboarding and potential interviews for Committees will already take place at the end of November 2024. Excellent communication skills in English are required for all positions, and applications must be submitted in English at a minimum. The Former of the Board and all KY Board Members will be chosen by the KY Representative Council.
KY's minutes and other administrative documents are in Finnish, and the official language of the foundation is Finnish. Therefore, serving as the chairperson requires fluency in both written and spoken Finnish.
For 2025, the monthly compensation for the Chair of the Board is 1400€.
All applicants will be posted to this page after each application deadline.
