Eager to work with us? Nice! But you have to be cut from a special piece of cloth.

Jr. Project manager within a European Consortium

As Project Manager you take responsibility of running innovation projects for our clients, mainly within an international B2B context.

You’re confident to communicate and work together with project partners, and you take ownership of all aspects necessary to achieve the project goals. What to do on a daily basis: Write business cases, design partnership business models, and so on.

Let me summarize your profile
- Business + Creativity, a good mix
- Higher education degree in Economics/Engineering/…
- You have a few years of experience as project manager (2-5 years experience)
- You’re awesome in working autonomous and structured
- Strict in reporting and communication
- You don’t mind to travel.

Your main project
One of the key projects you’ll be involved in will be a Business Model project for the European Commission (FP7). Within the consortium that’s been set up, you’ll find organizations from Germany, Sweden, Austria, Italy,… Board of Innovation acts as one of the Work Package leaders and will guide the valorization and business model design. Therefore you’ll need to communicate well, and guide the project management, all within an international context. Several workshop sessions and meetings will take place at different locations within Europe. Expect to do some traveling once in a while.

The starting point is the rising demand for more eco-efficient products and services. Suppliers of OEMS are pushed to meet new requirements. Many suppliers (for example: in automotive and electronics) are not able to meet these standards or to keep track of all the data available. The outcome of this project will provide a systematic and efficient approach to collect sustainability data for products and manufacturing processes through the supply chain and integrate these into the internal systems and processes of the companies.

In short: With the consortium we will set up an online B2B data platform where companies can share sustainability insights, knowledge and related regulation. The business model (license fees, marketing, growth strategy,..) and the technical requirements to develop such a platform are our main focus. You’ll be closely involved in the project management, reporting and actual design of this business model.

For this position we’re not looking for freelancers or consultants. Due to our international focus, you’ll need to be fluent in English. (Dutch, French and other languages are an asset).

Amaze us in the first meeting

I’m pretty confident that we’re living a few years ahead when it comes to technology, trends and business ideas.
