We are looking for someone with strong business and analytical abilities (especially with numbers) and the belief that “the devil is in details”. An ideal candidate has worked in the private sector with focus on start-up projects or social businesses. Experience with marketing, particularly around new product development, testing, and implementation as well as working on and leading marketing technical support is a plus.
