ABOUT OUR HUB
The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a unique EU initiative, integrates business, education, and research organisations to foster innovation and tackle societal challenges. The EIT is active in several Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) dedicated to driving systemic change in Europe and beyond, focusing on key areas such as climate change, energy, health, food, raw materials, digitalisation, and urban mobility. As part of a global outreach strategy, innovation hubs were established in San Francisco, Israel, and the UK. EIT Hub Israel was launched in 2019 as an innovation hub that aims to create synergies between the European and Israeli innovation ecosystems, actively increase the number of innovative startups, and significantly contribute to the rise of collaborative projects between the EU and Israel.
This role sits at the heart of the Hub’s activity, combining hands-on project management with operational ownership and cross-team coordination. The position involves leading programmes end-to-end, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations, and supporting strategic initiatives across the organisation. It is a dynamic role for someone who enjoys both execution and structure, and who can connect people, projects, and processes.
