Harnessing the powers of digital technologies and representing over 368,000 non-traditional students and lifelong learners, OpenEU is propelled by its mission to establish the learner-centred, inclusive, digital and green European open university, widening access to higher education and lifelong learning to all, from anywhere. With the support of the European Commission, under the Erasmus+ European Universities Programme, OpenEU will implement a 4-year project to establish the pillars of the first Open University at a European scale. The UOC, as coordinator of the OpenEU Alliance, is responsible for the management and monitoring of the project, and it is looking for a Management Officer to join the OpenEU Secretariat, an institutionalised cooperation instrument created by the OpenEU consortium based at UOC for the 4 years of the project. We are seeking to recruit an OpenEU Quality and Management Officer that will be under the direct supervision of the Open EU Secretary General and work in strong relation with the alliance coordinator, the Commissioner for International Action at UOC, and all the partners of the OpenEU Alliance. The selected person will be responsible for the daily, effective, and efficient management of the project, including its technical and financial management, ensuring the quality of the project outputs and deliverables. Additionally, the selected person will support the other partners in the project management, coordinating the activities of a decentralized office that will include representatives from all project offices of the beneficiary entities. The selected candidate will join the UOC and become part of a dynamic, multidisciplinary team with significant international exposure, as her/his role will involve providing support to the European entities that are part of OpenEU.
