Job summary — responsibilities

You will support the operations of ENRIO as a network of professionals, as an impact-driven organisation and as a healthy legal entity. Your duties involve taking responsibility for the day-to-day follow-up of organisational, administrative, financial and communication aspects of ENRIO’s functioning, including e.g.

  • supporting the board and working groups by preparing, reporting and following up on their work and meetings, in close consultation with board members and working group leaders;
  • co-organizing events and meetings, including scheduling and preparation (drafting background documents, identification of decision options);
  • bookkeeping (basic accounting);
  • overseeing ENRIO’s data and files (archive);
  • inbox managing — communicating with (candidate) members, partner organisations and others;
  • managing ENRIO’s external communication channels (website, social media, newsletter);
  • networking with national and international stakeholders in the research (policy) ecosystem.

Additional organisational duties may be assigned.

 

Profile — who we are looking for

  • You hold a Master’s degree or equivalent by experience.
  • You are an experienced administrator. Demonstrable experience as an administrative jack-of-all-trades (e.g. having run an organisation before) is a plus, not a must. Familiarity with relevant tools is an added value.
  • You have an affinity with the research world, even if you’re not a researcher. Relevant experience in academia (as researcher or administrator) is a plus. However, you are aware that this position is not a researcher job.
  • You see chances for improvement and have an eye for opportunities within ENRIO’s field of operation. You take proactive action and show a sense of initiative.
  • You are communicatively sensitive and use a fluent pen, both for promotional and administrative texts. Excellent command of English is a must, fluency in Dutch or French is a plus.
  • You work accurately. Scheduling tasks, following up on emails and keeping track of to-do’s are not a challenge for you. You have a demonstrated ability to meet deadlines and show personal efficacy and effective time management.
  • You can work independently as well as function well in a team.
  • You have a residential address in Belgium, or you are willing to relocate to Belgium.

 

Benefits — what we offer

  • Employment contract (80 % or 100 % FTE, up to your choice) for a 3 year term (unless agreed otherwise). An extension to a permanent contract after an initial period of three years is possible, subject to the availability of sufficient internal funding and satisfactory performance.
  • Competitive salary, benchmarked to the government’s payscale (on full-time basis gross: € 4029 – € 4957 / month | net: € 2606 – € 3013 / month or more, depending on family situation). Relevant professional experience can be taken into account in remuneration, with a maximum of ten years. Extra-legal benefits in the form of meal cheques and eco-vouchers, group insurance (pension fund), reimbursed public transport commuting, bicycle allowance, compensation for home work. Flexible working hours and an attractive leave scheme.
  • Remote work from home in Europe (EER) is possible, even full time.
  • Varied range of tasks in the areas of policy support, administration and organisation. Extensive responsibility and autonomy in the execution of these tasks. Working in a stimulating environment among leading research integrity experts from all over Europe. Opportunity to develop a network.

Please indicate your interest by means of a concise letter of application (clarifying that you apply for the secretary position) and a curriculum vitae. Please send these in one PDF file (maximum 5 pages, motivation letter first) to president@enrio.eu, no later than Tuesday 22 July 2025 (23:59 CEST).
