At European Alternatives, we stand up for a radically democratic and progressive Europe and search for people who share our belief of democracy, equality and culture beyond the nation state.
European Alternatives is recruiting a
Senior Project Manager
to join its dynamic and creative transnational team in Berlin.
The Senior Project Manager will assume an important role reporting directly to the Executive Director, managing one large-scale, EU-funded project.

Potentially, the Senior Project Manager also oversees and contributes to other smaller projects of the organization.
The position is to be filled in January 2019 or the soonest possible date for a 1 year-contract with potential renewal.
