Our client
Our client consists of two prominent networks: the European Corporate Security Association (ECSA) and Cercle ATHENA. Cercle ATHENA is the alumni association of the High Studies for Security & Defence, organized by the Royal Higher Institute for Defence, among others. Given the higher workload, your focus will primarily be on ECSA's operations. Both organizations bring together absolute top profiles and decision-makers from the security and defense world.
Our client offers
* A long-term, full-time assignment on a freelance basis.
* A senior hybrid role with flexibility: you work from your own home office, combined with on-site presence at national and international meetings and events.
* An independent key position where you report directly to the Secretary-General (SG) and contribute significantly to the development of the association.
