Do you have a strong interest in science? Are you driven by knowing a little bit of everything instead of a lot about one thing? Are you looking for a position where you can use your project management and science communication skills while constantly stimulating your curiosity? Do you seek an opportunity to apply your leadership, communication, problem solving and technical skills all at once, while working in a diverse yet united team?
As a creative scientific agency, we’re on a mission to bring attention and recognition to those who want to make the world a better place through science. Our ambition is driven by close and meaningful partnerships with our clients, with whom we share a rigorous and passionate understanding of the power of science.
Founded in 2017, based in Lisbon, Portugal, and with a team of 14 (both scientists and designers), we are now looking for a project manager who is also able to execute some communication tasks.
Do you want to join us?
The focus of this Project Manager position is to manage and execute the communication tasks of Horizon Europe projects, which includes interacting with several international partners at once, attend project meetings (a couple of travels are expected per year, within Europe), as well as present and defend Science Crunchers ideas and work towards the consortia partners.
Additionally, the Project Manager will manage and execute diverse science communication projects for other clients, such as Universities, NGOs, private companies, and other entities that, just like us, have science in their core.
We are looking for a dynamic, curious, engaged team-player, and agile individual who can adapt to an environment with multiple and fast-paced communication projects. Being a fast learner, with a drive to add value, contributing to our companies’ growth and to your self-development, are also important features.
In addition, we are looking for someone who enjoys learning and writing about various scientific topics and, at the same time, is able to become a Science Cruncher: combining critical thinking and intuition, in order to synthesize and crunch down complex scientific information, is key to prepare good contents for our design team.
You will be working within a friendly, close, dynamic, ambitious, and multi-disciplinary team, responding to a rapidly evolving projects’ agenda, associated with a large portfolio of international clients and a broad diversity of topics.
You will be involved in the development of a diverse range of science communication outputs, such as articles for different audiences, infographics, videos, educational and training materials, websites, and so on.
You will have the chance to develop your communication and project management skills, among others, while building-up a broad and overarching knowledge of different scientific fields. Professional and technical development are also guaranteed as you will be part of a growing company, operating in a dynamic environment, and will be working directly with Clients.
Our office is in Lisbon, Portugal, and this will be ideally a hybrid position: remote will prevail yet availability to come to the office is important.
