  • Guide a local team in building the HiiL network and brand

Our new colleague:

  • Has 10+ years of experience in building or guiding startups or businesses, or developing innovations (preference given to candidates whose startup experience focuses on social impact or justice)

  • Part of a dynamic and international team
  • You are based in The Hague
  • Preferably holding EU-citizenship
