About Us

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in China (SwedCham) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization representing Swedish businesses and decision-makers in China.

Together, we work to strengthen the Swedish community in China.

Your Role

Join us as a Communication & Admin Intern and immerse yourself in the dynamic operations of an international Chamber of Commerce. This internship offers a unique opportunity to engage with the Swedish business community in China through event planning and marketing initiatives.

2025 marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Sweden, and you will play a vital role in interesting projects and signature events during your time with SwedCham China.

We are looking for someone proactive, creative, and passionate about communication, marketing, and Swedish/Nordic culture. You’ll need to manage projects independently while being an adaptable team player.

You will work closely with the Communication & Admin Intern in our Shanghai office on a daily basis. Managing and upgrading the official WeChat account will be one of your primary tasks, so fluency in Chinese is essential.
