Hannele Koskinen
Team leader at the alarm centre, Stockholm, employed since September 2021.
"Time has gone so fast ever since I started at SOS International! I started as an assistance coordinator at the alarm centre, and in just seven months I became a team leader.
The coolest thing about my job is, that I am needed and that my words and my actions make a difference. When we help customers with urgent insurance matters it is great to see how my colleagues work together to give the best experience possible. The most motivating thing about this job is that I can see how far I can take myself and my team if I put in the work and spread my knowledge and kindness. Our working environment is a lot of fun with laughs and a great atmosphere every day. Without my colleagues it would not be the same at work."
Mads Peter Lindberg Sundgaard
Software Developer, IT Development, Aarhus, employed since 2019
"I see SOS International as a company that focuses on developing new solutions for our customers within IT and I experience that I have plenty of opportunity to influence the development.
I feel motivated in my work when I am presented with a problem and, as a developer, I need to find a good technical solution without a lengthy description of requirements. It is cool that, within the team, we share the responsibility for prioritising between developing new solutions or improving existing ones. I find that feeling enthusiastic about the jobs that I work on is easy when I can see how they can improve our customers’ experience."
