You report to the ERIM executive director.

5) Maintain a relevant national network in the area of ethical review of research.

• You are a proactive problem-solver and you have experience with strategy and project management (e.g., agile) preferably within an academic environment.
• You are a results-oriented, analytical and sociable team player, with strong interpersonal and intercultural communication skills.
• You can interact with various offices, and build, maintain and manage a network of stakeholders across and connected to RSM, ESE, ERIM and EUR.
• You can work independently as well as in a team, with a hands-on and proactive attitude, and a keen eye for detail.
• You have a good command of spoken and written English and Dutch. (If your Dutch proficiency is insufficient, you are willing to take Dutch courses).

We offer a full-time contract, originally for a period of 12 months and with the possibility for a permanent contract upon satisfactory performance.
