WHO ARE YOU?

You have experience in project management, business development, international collaborations or funded development projects.

Experience with EU programs, grant applications or media projects is a significant advantage.

We place particular emphasis on you being able to

• Drive a project independently from idea to concrete result.
• Have strong analytical, organizational and communication skills.
• Develop project descriptions, budgets and financing plans.
• Excel at building relationships and establishing international collaborations.
• Master English at a high professional level.
• Understand technology, AI and digital business models.
• Work in a structured way with complex requirements and deadlines.
• Have impact, initiative and a high level of ambition.

You do not need to be a journalist or a programmer. The crucial thing is that you can understand the project’s different professional areas and get specialists to work together toward common goals.

WHAT WE OFFER

You will have the opportunity to take a central role in developing an international media project from an early stage.

We offer

• Significant influence on the project’s strategy and development.
• The opportunity to build an international network of collaborators.
• Work at the intersection of journalism, technology, AI and European funding.
• Direct collaboration with MinBy’s strategic and technical leadership.
• The opportunity to develop the role in line with the project’s funding and progress.

EMPLOYMENT AND COLLABORATION

We are open to different forms of collaboration depending on the candidate’s competencies and the project’s development phase.

Workload, terms of employment and remuneration will be agreed individually.

We assess candidates based on their documented competencies, independence, experience and ability to deliver results.

Relevant candidates may be offered a voluntary, practical test assignment based on Factspilot and the specific opportunities for European project funding.

We emphasize that you can demonstrate how you would approach a complex task – not just describe your past experiences.
