EU Projects Manager

Are you passionate about project management? Do you want to support cutting-edge EU consultancy and research projects, making sure they get executed as promised, on time, and on budget? If so, this opportunity may be for you.

Who we are

Timelex is a leading and ambitious Brussels-based niche law firm specialising in technology, data, intellectual property, and media law. Every day we help clients to match law and innovation. Our international team of lawyers operates across several countries, advising prominent national and international companies as well as government agencies. We are also actively involved in a range of consultancy and research projects funded under Horizon Europe and other EU programmes and tenders.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a dynamic and proactive Project Manager to coordinate the financial, administrative, and resource management of our EU-funded projects. You will be at the heart of our growing portfolio of EU consultancy and research initiatives.

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Managing the financial, administrative, and operational aspects of ongoing projects, in particular through:
    • Playing a proactive role in the resource and budget management of our projects.
    • Preparing drafts for financial reporting. 
    • Supporting the lawyers working on the projects through monitoring progress and deadlines. 
  • Identifying synergies within the team, cross-selling opportunities, new project and business opportunities and liaising with potential partners. 
  • Contributing to and coordinating the preparation of new project proposals, ensuring accurate budget and resource planning.
  • Designing and implementing communication and dissemination strategies for our EU projects.

Your profile 

We are looking for someone who:

  • Is detail-oriented in general, and meticulous when it comes to numbers. 
  • Is efficient and has excellent organisational skills.
  • Possesses strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Brings an entrepreneurial and proactive mindset and enjoys working in an international team.
  • Has full professional proficiency in English (spoken and written). Knowledge of French, Dutch, or other languages is an asset, but not a requirement.
  • Has at least three years’ experience in the financial, administrative, and operational management of EU research projects (e.g. Horizon Europe) or EU-funded tenders and studies.
  • Holds a degree in a relevant field (a law degree is welcome but not required – we are not recruiting for a lawyer position).

What we offer

  • A long-term career perspective with a competitive remuneration package.
  • The chance to make an impact in innovative EU-funded projects.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and travel within Europe.
  • Autonomy and room for initiative in shaping your role and contributing ideas.
  • A collegial and supportive work culture in an international team.
  • A modern office on the 23rd floor of the Sablon Tower, offering a 360° view of Brussels, just a 10-minute walk from Brussels Central Station.
