Why HUBS?
HUBS offers optional sustainable entrepreneurship studies for the entire Tampere Universities community. We support students’ development of entrepreneurial skills, and our goal is that people who graduate from Tampere Universities are skilled, courageous changemakers. We also sparr students and organize events throughout the year.
The HUBS team is excited about new ideas, and we encourage our student team to create inspiring content and events – by students, for students! Around HUBS activities, every Growth Hacker has the opportunity to develop their teamwork skills, public speaking, event organization, marketing, sales, and coaching based on their interests and strengths. The role can be shaped to suit your own interests.
We believe in doing good for ourselves and others (Be Good, Do Good). The Growth Hackers team can operate with autonomy, making decisions together, and HUBS provides strong trust and support for the team’s work and choices.
Working hours & compensation
As a Growth Hacker, you work flexibly according to your own situation, coordinating with the team. A fixed-term employment contract will be made with Tampere University of Applied Sciences, although in your role, you will also be working with the whole Tampere Universities community.

Sara Soinne
Growth hacker
I’m a student in the multidisciplinary Degree Programme in Network Learning and Competencies, majoring in Business. I’m fascinated and empowered by working in teams and finding unique solutions through collaboration. I truly believe that an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset are valuable assets, no matter your field of study or future career path.
As a Growth Hacker, I’m excited to share positive energy, inspire action, and help others unlock their potential as well as learn something new every day.
Outside of studies and projects, I immerse myself in creative self-expression – singing, creating content on social media, painting my thoughts on canvas, or exploring movement through dance and other forms of physical expression.
With an open mind and a curious spirit, I’m here to connect, collaborate, and see where great ideas can take us—having fun along the way.

Ilias Anezary Abbad
Growth hacker
I’m a student at Proakatemia – I’m passionate about working with people and for people. Helping others grow, achieve their goals, and turn ideas into something real is what motivates me. I love exploring personal development, understanding different cultures, and managing projects that bring people together and create impact. To me, entrepreneurship is about building skills and finding solutions that truly make a difference.
When I’m not working, I’m probably at the gym pretending to be an athlete, spending time with people who inspire me, or secretly brainstorming my next big project. Basically, if I’m not moving, talking, chilling, or planning something, it’s probably because I fell asleep.
If you’re looking for someone to share ideas with or need support along the way, feel free to reach out. I’m always excited to connect, collaborate, and create something meaningful together 🙂

I’m a Master’s student in Sustainable Transport, who is fascinated by social entrepreneurship and its power to drive meaningful change at the grassroots level and empower communities.
As a Growth Hacker at HUBS, I’m excited to connect with you, exchange ideas, and support your entrepreneurial growth.
When I’m not swimming, overthinking, or learning to ice skate (self-note: I am mastering it by the end of this winter), you’ll find me diving into abstract ideas and sparking meaningful conversations.
