Business Developer Odense (Student)
Business Development Associate, Odense
About the role
Help grow athme in Odense by building relationships with existing sports communities and supporting them in bringing their activities onto the platform.
You will be athme’s local representative in Odense, working with sports organizers, student communities, clubs, companies, and players. Although the role is based locally, you will work closely with our headquarters team in Denmark.
You will receive a proven playbook, clear weekly priorities, outreach materials, regular check-ins, and ongoing support. You are not expected to enter the market alone or develop the strategy from scratch. Your responsibility is to execute and adapt an existing approach while helping us understand what works best in Odense.

Identify and connect with sports clubs, student organizations, informal groups, universities, and companies in Odense
Build relationships with organizers, hosts, and community leaders
Introduce communities to athme and help them understand how the platform can support their activities
Help onboard organizers, events, and entire communities onto the platform
Support existing partners in running recurring activities and growing participation
Attend relevant events, campuses, sports venues, and community meetups

Work closely with the headquarters team on priorities, outreach, and follow-ups
Share insights about the Odense market and identify new partnership opportunities
Collect feedback from organizers and players to improve the product and local experience
