Horizon Europe grant writer and project manager
Full time/permanent contract - full time remote work in France possible - Apply by April 30th
This job is open to any applicant from around the world. However, you will have to be located in France. Visa/working permit support available for those who need it.
The company
Innotrope is a small but growing grant writing, project management, and communication agency specialised in EU funded Horizon Europe research and innovation projects.
Located in Orsay, on the Paris Saclay University campus, Innotrope has clients from all around Europe.
As we are small, no formalism, no hierarchy: everyone contributes to all our projects.
The job
You will be hired as a grant writer and project manager for Horizon Europe projects.
Missions:
About 30% of working time: grant writing
About 70% of working time: project management
Our projects are interesting, varied, and on state-of-the-art topics. Our clients are scientists who are usually very friendly and happy that we help them with writing their grant applications and managing their projects. Thus, we promise you a rewarding job!
Expect between 6 to 8 short-term business trips across the EU and Africa. We have just won an EU/Africa project so you will have to go once or twice a year to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Senegal for the next five years. If you want to extend your business trip with a private trip, no problem; you will obviously have to pay for your private expenses, but at least you will have your flights paid by us.
About you
University degree in project management or political science with a European affairs specialisation. A project management certification such as PMI or Prince2 is highly appreciated.
At least 3 years of experience in similar roles.
Mandatory skills:
Optional skills:
Our company also provides dissemination, exploitation, and communication services to our clients. So if you also have skills in IPR management or in communication, we are happy to slightly modify the job description to accomodate that.
Personal skills:
At Innotrope, we apply a strict non-discrimination policy, so whoever you are, feel free to apply.
Our office is adapted to disabled people and we are happy to adapt our working condition to accommodate any special need.
For non-EU foreign applicants, we provide support for your visa/working permit acquisition. You will have to move to France though.
