Project Manager for European R&I Projects in Immersive Media

Role Overview:

i2CAT Foundation is looking for a Project Manager to support the MediaTech team in the management, execution, and preparation of European and national research and innovation projects in the field of immersive media and digital technologies.

You'll join the MediaTech Area working on advanced technologies such as volumetric video, holoportation, XR/VR/AR experiences, real-time communication, distributed media systems, and interactive audiovisual services.

You'll play an important role in supporting ongoing projects such as PRESENCE and HEAT, while contributing to new proposals for competitive funding programmes such as Horizon Europe, SNS JU, Digital Europe, national programmes, and other innovation calls.

Your role:

You'll focus on project management, proposal writing, reporting, partner communication, organization of meetings, preparation of presentations, dissemination activities, participation in fairs and conferences, and support to the strategic positioning of the MediaTech team within European R&I ecosystems.

The role is focused on project management, proposal development, funding support, partner communication, dissemination, and strategic project positioning, not on technical development or technical team leadership.

By joining us, you can expect:

• We practice a 4-1 hybrid model (4 days remotely, 1 day at the office) to balance face-to-face collaboration with deep-focus remote work. We embrace a hybrid model, but we truly encourage our team to soak up the in-office experience. There’s a unique energy and collaboration in our new space that you simply can't replicate through a screen.
• Enjoy core hours flexibility: as long as you’re online for our team syncs between 10:00 and 15:00, you can design the rest of your day to fit your rhythm. 
• Early-Finish Fridays: We believe in a long weekend. Every Friday throughout the year is an intensive 6.5-hour workday, so you can kick off your personal time by mid-afternoon.
• Intensive summer schedule: To help you enjoy the sun and balance family life during school holidays, we switch to a 7-hour workday from June 22nd to September 4th.
• You get 27 paid vacation days per year, well above the legal minimum, giving you over five full weeks to recharge whenever you need them. You are asked to enjoy at least 12 vacation days during summer.
• We will work so that you have a career plan to promote your growth and development.
