Hi @noemi . Is this opportunity opened for people living beyond Europe? I would like to know if I can give it a try :slight_smile:

Hei @anu, it is open for non-Europeans. It would be probably more challenging as social media needs to work for Europe time zones but other than that you’re welcome to put yourself forward for the position.
