Your tasks – What we are looking for
As part of the BMW Foundation’s Network Organizers Europe team, you represent the Foundation in our network and support us in implementing the strategy in the respective world region.

- Network development: You support the development of the regional network by coordinating, together with the Network Organizers Europe team, the community’s activities through processes, programs, and interactions, and by forming and advancing partnerships. The Network Organizers in Europe collaborate closely and with an eye on the entire region, notwithstanding their own regional foci.
- Strategic planning and direction of regional network activities: You work in a fact-based manner, and you use content, data, and research results to advance, together with the team, the strategic direction of the regional activities.

- You are happy to contribute your experiences in network/community building. You love people and organizations and building cross-sector connections. You work autonomously and independently. At the same time, you support the network and the partnerships within your region with lots of creativity, motivation, curiosity, and openness.
- You use your strategic project management skills in a target-oriented manner. You are able to break down complex issues and handle multiple deadlines and priorities without losing sight of the big picture.
- You are flexible and enjoy travel. You are willing to travel nationally and internationally and to spend longer working stays (sometimes up to several months) in your region in the short or medium term.
- You are well-versed with standard software applications (MS Office and Adobe) and are able to quickly familiarize yourself with new tools and project management systems (incl. Trello, Salesforce). You are fluent in French and English.
- You approach topics such as Equity, Diversity, Belonging and intercultural cooperation with curiosity, and you are willing to learn and develop together with us.
- You are comfortable in an international, dynamic environment and are fully committed to advancing, together with us, the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.
Our offer – What you can expect
- A dynamic, international, and professional team that works towards a peaceful, just and sustainable future in keeping with the UN 2030 Agenda.
