At Traces&Dreams, we are a community of thinkers, creators, and collaborators committed to illuminating pathways toward a more equal and wiser tomorrow. Our work connects historical traces with aspirational dreams, transforming knowledge into a strategic asset for cultural change.
We are looking for an EU Project Lead to join our fully remote team. This is a role for a strategist and a doer who understands the internal machinery of European projects. We are looking for someone who has an eye for details, and knows how to take care of the administrative part, coordinate the project and the team, and manage the Gantt and deadlines, write reports and to ensure the project creates real-world impact (it is great if you are a dev elopment strategist or like to write projects, but this is not mandatory).
We need a hands-on expert to oversee, for example, our Erasmus+, CERV, Creative Europe, or Horizon Europe portfolio. You will be responsible for the "how" of our projects, ensuring they are strategically sound, technically compliant, and operationally successful.
- Project Monitoring: You will track milestones and deliverables, ensuring every phase of the project aligns with our mission and EU requirements, and write the reports.
- Strategic Oversight: You will navigate the technical landscape of the Funding & Tenders Portal and Beneficiary Module, managing reporting and financial compliance with precision.
- Consortium Management: You will act as the operational glue for our international partners, keeping projects moving forward through clear communication and steady coordination.
We are a mission-driven agency. We invest deeply in meaningful projects that contribute to a wiser tomorrow. Because we prioritize the impact of our work and maintain a lean, transdisciplinary structure, we do not offer high corporate-level salaries. If you are looking for a high-paying executive role, we are likely not the right fit. However, if you are looking for a place where your expertise is valued, your work is purposeful, and you are part of a culture built on trust and care, we would love to meet you. The position is remote, but it is great if you live in Sweden. It is a long-term contract position (part-time or full-time).
You are the right fit if you:
- Have practical experience in managing and monitoring EU-funded projects (specifically Erasmus+, CERV, and/or Horizon).
- Are a "doer" who enjoys the technical and organizational challenges of project implementation.
- Understand project logic and can ensure that every deliverable serves the project's strategic goals.
- Are comfortable in a remote environment that requires high levels of autonomy and self-organization.
- Value mission over high-salary compensation, seeking instead to apply your skills to projects that matter.
