Job description

Would you like to contribute to the development of DTU’s educational offers? Do you want to help shape the future of European higher education and collaborate with colleagues and partners across Europe?

The Office for Study Programmes and Student Affairs (AUS) at DTU is looking for a proactive Project Manager to join the Office of International Education as Project Manager for the EuroTeQ Pathway Project, a newly awarded 24-month EU-funded project focused on the European Degree Label.

In this role you will help translate new European educational frameworks into practice and support their implementation across DTU, contributing to the continued development and internationalisation of DTU’s educational portfolio.

As Project Manager, you will be at the centre of this work, coordinating partners across Europe while taking responsibility for key training, stakeholder engagement, and implementation activities. Through your work, you will help strengthen DTU’s capacity to engage in new forms of European educational collaboration and turn emerging opportunities into lasting value for DTU and its students.

The job

You will join the Office of International Education, as part of the Office for Study Programmes and Student Affairs (AUS), which has approximately 120 employees and is responsible for developing and supporting DTU’s educational processes, with a strong focus on our students.

As our new Project Manager, you will coordinate the EuroTeQ Pathway Project from planning and reporting, to partner coordination and delivery of key activities.

This is not a conventional project management position. You will also take an active role in developing the project’s content, leading training and stakeholder activities, and strengthening DTU’s understanding of the European Degree Label and its implications in a Danish context. You will work closely with consortium partners and DTU colleagues, while taking responsibility for the quality and delivery of the project activities within your remit.

The role offers an opportunity to combine international project leadership with educational development and stakeholder engagement, while helping translate European developments into value for DTU and its educational portfolio. We anticipate 5-10 travel days a year.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Coordinate the overall project plan, including timelines, milestones, budget, risks, and dependencies across the four work packages.
• Coordinate consortium partners and EU project reporting, ensuring timely delivery of project outputs and milestones
• Lead the development and implementation of key project activities, including training, communication, and stakeholder events.
• Organise and facilitate the national stakeholder workshop and contribute to the project’s national roadmap.
• Build and maintain relationships with national and international stakeholders across higher education, quality assurance, and policy.
• Strengthen DTU’s institutional understanding of the European Degree Label and translate relevant project outcomes into value for DTU’s educational development.

Knowledge of Danish is not required for the position. However, as much of DTU's internal administration is conducted in Danish, you should expect to encounter Danish in larger meetings and institutional contexts.

Our expectations of you

You have a university degree and, ideally, experience from the education sector or another publicly funded organization, with experience in project management.

We would like you to:

• Have a proactive and self-driven approach, with a strong sense of ownership. You take initiative, move activities forward independently, and know when to seek input and involve relevant colleagues
• Seek out effective collaboration and cross-functional coordination
• Be able to follow and devise formalised processes
• Are able to familiarise yourself with study regulations and the legal framework in the education sector, for example, Knowledge of European higher education, particularly quality assurance, accreditation, and/or cross-border regulatory frameworks. Familiarity with frameworks such as the European Approach for Quality Assurance of Joint Programmes or EQAR would be an advantage.
• Experience planning and delivering stakeholder events, from initial concept and logistics through to facilitation, delivery, and follow-up.

What we offer in return

• We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international atmosphere with the focus on research, teaching, innovation and scientific advice for the benefit of the surrounding community.
• We place emphasis on a high level of professionalism among our staff, so skills development is an integral part of our organization.
• We offer a great flexibility in the position.
• In the area of technical and natural sciences, DTU is one of the leading research and education institutions in Europe.

Salary and appointment terms

The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations (AC). In addition, supplements can be negotiated in accordance with DTU’s salary structure for academic staff employed in technical-administrative positions at DTU (AC TAP): www.inside.dtu.dk/en/human-resources/during-employment/salary/salary-structures.

The workplace is DTU Lyngby Campus.
