When I started as an Administrative Coordinator at KY, I knew the work would be dynamic — but the variety of the tasks still pleasantly surprised me. Over the past months, I’ve worked in the core of KY’s operations, keeping things running while enjoying the welcoming community that makes KY so special.
No two days are ever the same at KY. One moment, I’m overseeing KY’s premises and resources (yes, including the van and sauna), and the next, I’m handling invoices, organizing meetings, or making necessary purchases. Acting as a key connection between stakeholders, from property maintenance to KY associations, is also a big part of the role. I’ve really enjoyed being the “Yleismies Jantunen” of KY - constantly solving problems and ensuring that everything is in place.
Beyond the tasks, what makes this job incredible is the atmosphere. The KY Office is a unique workplace filled with motivated, fun people who are always ready to help. With a great team, tackling daily tasks and challenges is really rewarding.
Before taking on this role, I had been involved in KY as a volunteer and thought I knew how things worked. But working behind the scenes has given me a whole new appreciation for what keeps KY running. This role lets you see KY from a different perspective and actively contribute to its growth.
If you enjoy variety, take initiative, and like getting your hands dirty, this role is for you. It’s perfect for students wanting hands-on administrative experience with a flexible schedule. Plus, if you love KY and want to make a serious impact, there’s no better way to do it.
If you have any questions about the job or anything else, please feel free to contact me. :)
