      • Supervise project partners and coordinate communication, reporting, and visibility activities;
      • Prepare and submit interim and final reports to Managing Authorities (narrative, financial, and technical);
      • Draft and contribute to new project proposals (Erasmus+, Horizon Europe, AMIF, CERV, etc.), including work plans, budgets, and logical frameworks;
      • Identify funding opportunities, support consortium building, and maintain strong relationships with EU institutions and international stakeholders;
      • Represent EVBB in meetings, conferences, and international events.

Profile & Requirements

      • University degree (Bachelor or Master) in European Studies, International Relations, Political Science, Economics, Education, or related field;
      • Excellent command of English (C1); knowledge of another language is a strong asset;
      • Excellent organisational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines;
      • High level of independence, reliability, and attention to detail;
      • Availability to travel within and outside the EU.

What We Offer

      • A competitive salary package, aligned with experience and expertise;
      • Meal vouchers, eco-cheques, telework allowance, and public transport reimbursement;
      • 30 days of paid annual leave;

      • Genuine growth opportunities within a European network shaping the future of vocational education and training.
