The Role

The Junior Project Manager will work under the direct supervision of the TPO Co‑Directors, and in close cooperation with the rest of the team.

  • Drafting of proposals for tailor‑made training solutions for prospective partners and clients.
  • Preparing tenders and project applications.
  • Developing the pools of experts, trainers, and partner organisations.

• Contribute to the development of internal tools and processes.

For this position, the College is looking for candidates with:

• A postgraduate degree, preferably in EU affairs and/or project management.

• Very good understanding of the EU, its institutions and policies.
• Outstanding analytical and organisational skills, with an eye for detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced environment, with respect for deadlines, and to work autonomously and as a member of a team.

• Open personality with strong interpersonal, communication and networking skills and a flexible and dynamic attitude.
• Flexibility (working hours may include evenings and weekends) and a dynamic attitude.

Our Offer

• An interesting and challenging full‑time position in an attractive, multicultural and dynamic work environment.
• An employment contract of indefinite duration under Belgian labour law.
• A competitive remuneration.
• A comprehensive benefits package including the legal holiday pay and an end‑of‑year bonus, meal vouchers, a transportation allowance, hospitalisation insurance, and a group insurance.
