• Demonstrated success in writing and winning competitive grants from EU-level programs.

• Excellent technical writing, communication, and project coordination skills.
• Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working directly with executive leadership and external stakeholders.
• Entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities and high strategic impact.
• Very strong fluency in English-in both verbal and writing.

• A flat hierarchy culture - fostering our great working atmosphere.
• Use the training budget to expand your knowledge and competencies.
