Are you an effective programme manager? Then you can play an important part in supporting a unique development bank’s status as an Advisory Partner under the InvestEU Fund as you help us identify, prepare and develop initiatives across the European Union.

We will look to you to prepare information packages to support decision-making, draft terms of reference and contract documentation, and oversee the procurement of consultants, whilst monitoring and benchmarking progress. In particular, you will service high-level steering, technical and project coordination meetings via a steady supply of high quality intelligence, so you will play an important part in our future relationship with the EU.
