Project Manager for EU project

Temporary Project Manager for EU project We unfortunately cannot promise you a permanent position – but we can offer you a job that makes sense. For our international project we now seek a temporary project manager. Can you coordinate and contribute to effective implementation and promote good collaboration between the partners? Then you are the one we are looking for as project manager for our EU project ‘ARCADIA’.

About ARCADIA ARCADIA is about nature and climate adaptation, and about what happens when you combine these. Odense Municipality is the project lead for the Danish partners; VandCenter Syd, Syddansk Universitet, Odense Fjord Collaboration and Region Syddanmark, and the project is created in collaboration with 43 other European partners - all supported by Horizon Europe's Innovation Action programme.

Your tasks

We are seeking a project manager who can

• Govern and drive the ‘ARCADIA’ project as national coordinator.
• Plan, coordinate and facilitate meetings and workshops in collaboration with the various partners as well as “Co-Innovation Labs” aimed at citizens, employees, civil society, knowledge centers and politicians.
• Participate in international events, 1-3 times a year, as well as national conferences to disseminate the project.
• Disseminate information and material in Danish and English, depending on context.
• Prepare semi-annual annual reports for the Danish partners and report to the Italian project leader and the EU.
• Ensure systematic follow-up and status on tasks, take meeting minutes, ensure sign-up sheets, hold steering committee meetings etc.

What we need from you

You have the ability to see the big picture and you are naturally focused on delivering proactive project management. It is also crucial that you have strong relational skills and are good at self-management. You do not need to have in-depth knowledge of nature, climate adaptation or water environment – but a solid interest in these topics is of course an advantage. Perhaps you cannot tick every box, but we place emphasis on the fact that you have:

• experience with EU project management and reporting
• good collaboration skills
• good written and oral communication skills – both in English and Danish
• experience in facilitating processes and workshops
• familiarity with working in a politically governed organization
• interest in – and perhaps professional knowledge of – climate adaptation and nature-based solutions.

We offer

A challenging and varied job in an organization where we strive for as holistic and sustainable solutions as possible. The collaboration style and tone at the workplace are informal, complemented by a good dose of humor. You can be confident that you will work with many different professionals who are passionate about their field. At the same time you will experience sparring with colleagues with extensive experience in nature, the environment and regulatory handling.

You will become part of our climate adaptation team, which is part of the Office for Water Management and Horticulture. The office consists of 4 teams: Wastewater team, horticulture team, rodent control team and climate adaptation team.
