About us
EurA Innovation Ecosystems is one of Europe’s leading innovation ecosystem consultancies, helping EU institutions strengthen Europe’s innovation capacity. From Porto, we advise and deliver service contracts for several Directorates General of the European Commission and EU agencies, helping them build innovation ecosystems that work for startups, SMEs, corporates, investors, researchers and public bodies across Europe.
We are part of the EurA Group, a technology and innovation consultancy rooted in deep tech, with offices in Germany, Portugal and Belgium. The Group manages over 50 national and international innovation networks that connect science and industry.
The role
You will split your time between two areas.
Business development. Helping us win new work through public tenders and proposals: finding opportunities, writing bids and proposals, and building the partner network behind them.
Consulting delivery. Working on advisory and service contracts for EU institutions, mostly research, writing and events. Some days you dig into a topic or design a report; others you clean a stakeholder database, proofread a policy brief or chase speakers for a conference. Both are part of the job, and both get noticed.
What you will do
Business development
* Scout and assess public tenders and calls for proposals on EU and international platforms.
* Write tender and proposal sections with the Proposal Lead and external consortium partners.
* Support consortium building, concept design, budget preparation and negotiation.
* Build and maintain relationships with bid partners and potential clients.
Consulting delivery
* Do the groundwork that keeps projects moving: databases, minutes, formatting, proofreading and follow ups.
* Research, analyse and write: studies, reports, briefs and deliverables for EU clients.
* Organise workshops, events and stakeholder consultations, from the invitation list to logistics on the day.
* Deliver your work on time, on budget and to a high standard.
* Coordinate with team members and review the quality of shared outputs.
* Keep clients and stakeholders informed and manage their expectations.
* Report progress to the Project Manager and keep activities aligned with EurA’s strategy.
* Work on communication tasks when a contract needs it.
What we look for
Required
* University degree with a scientific or management background.
* Excellent written and spoken English, with strong communication and presentation skills.
* Availability to travel.
Nice to have
* A master’s degree or PhD in innovation, entrepreneurship, deep tech or EU policy.
* 1 to 3 years’ experience in consulting, EU institutions or public procurement.

* Pragmatic: you solve problems and move things forward.
* Organised and detail oriented, able to handle several tasks and stakeholders at once.
* A fast learner and a self starter.
* Diplomatic and collaborative with clients, partners and colleagues.
What we offer
* Health insurance.
* Hybrid and flexible work.
* A career plan to support your development.
* Work with EU institutions and agencies from day one.
