We have a full-time time job opening and are looking for someone who has energy and ideas, is not afraid to take the stage and knows how to prioritise. You will take on the role of organising the community and events programme in our startup hub.
The Space Business Innovation Centre (SBIC) Noordwijk supports entrepreneurs and startups that want to launch or improve a product or service that makes use of space technology. We have an active community and like to facilitate opportunities for serendipitous space encounters and broaden the network to create new connections, for which we need your skills.
What will you do?
As Community & Event Manager, you will be the first point of contact for our community. Your key tasks will include facilitating interactions, creating connections, scouting for opportunities and establishing collaborations. You will use your organisational talent to host several events per year – from masterclasses to hackathons and from webinars to networking events – and you’ll be taking the stage to represent SBIC and its community. By applying your commercial skills, you will attract new community members and users of our meeting facilities.
SBIC is the place to be for all things related to “space” and “entrepreneurship” and, as the space industry is fuelled by curiosity, we’d like someone to join us who is eager to learn every day.
The deadline for applications is 5 March.
