Do you want to help build the next major growth leap in deep technologies and support the commercialisation and scaling of researchbased solutions? The Deep Tech Growth Ecosystems in the Capital Region project focuses on fields with Finlands strongest growth potential in deep tech: green chemistry, circular economy and other green technologies, as well as semiconductors, microelectronics and quantum technologies.

You will work in the Economic Development Unit of the City of Espoo, where we build sustainable growth and vitality for the city. You will be part of the innovation and development service area, which develops Espoos innovation ecosystems. We offer a creative work environment with an open and collaborative culture.<\/p>\n

What we are looking for<\/p>\n

We are looking for a Project Manager who understands the everyday realities of green technology startups and growth companies, and is motivated by accelerating company growth. You have experience in business development of startups and growth companies, and in building collaboration networks or innovation ecosystems. You are familiar with the green technology and semiconductor industries and can identify new opportunities at the intersections of the industries.<\/p>\n

You work in a developmentdriven, customerfocused and selfmotivated way. Your strategic thinking and handson approach support both company competitiveness and the vitality of the city. You have experience coordinating or leading multistakeholder collaboration, strong project management skills, and a professional approach to customer work and relationship management. You thrive in a changing environment and have experience organising impactful events. You communicate clearly, are confident when presenting, negotiate effectively, and are able to balance different perspectives.
