The European Champions Alliance is a not-for-profit initiative led by a group of European experts in entrepreneurship and multi-skilling who want to bring about a cultural change in the way we work together across Europe. The ECA strategically and operationally supports young scale-ups and SMEs in the tech sector to become European through their strategies, policies, management, marketing and communication, implementation and range of products and services.
Support our team of experts in the European tech ecosystem and benefit from our extraordinary ECA network.
Offer available from September 2022 for 6 months
The European Champions Alliance is a non-for-profit association building an ecosystem of start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, corporates and industry experts committed to European Tech and values. The Alliance leverages their European network by sharing market knowledge and activating joint business opportunities between the members to support the growth of European Champions.
The ECA is run by a European network of experienced professionals from different sectors (investors, consultants, business leaders, administration representatives), all committed to the development of European technology champions. ECA is a do tank focussing on go-to-business, pragmatic and operational issues. The ECA’s work is divided into different focus groups, which are constantly growing:
Joining the ECA as an executive assistant, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the growth of a unique European project. Your daily interlocutors will be tech entrepreneurs as well as business leaders, managers within SMBs or large corporate players (CAC 40, Dax 30, …) as well as members of the public sector (European Commission, parliamentary deputies of European countries, other associations, …).
Our organisation has started its journey at the Franco-German-Dutch level but our ambition is to extend our activities to the Nordics and Southern Europe to become a true European organisation.
Please find more information on our website: www.european-champions.org and on our social media channels on Linkedin and Twitter.
This internship will give you deep insights in all fields of a professional association (sales, management, business development, marketing, communication, event management and more). Within the European Champions Alliance you will be in charge of:
Collaborating for ECA will allow you to develop your network consistently with experienced people from a variety of sectors to co-construct the scale-up support ecosystem in Europe. You will not be in charge of making coffee but you will actively participate in our development, reasoning and giving your opinion with the strategic committee, all in a very European environment. Your missions will therefore be as much strategic (in relation with the management, think about our offer) as operational (present ECA, animate a network, present an internationalization plan to a scale-up).
