Expected start date between late August and early September. A position offering autonomy and initiative. Direct contact with students, families, and the university community.

You will help build a community. You will have the opportunity to accompany young people throughout their university years—identifying needs, launching initiatives, encouraging participation, and contributing to making their Madrid experience academically, personally, and socially enriching. If you come from the educational, university, or activity management sectors—and seek a stable project where connecting with people is just as vital as organizational capability—this position may be especially interesting for you. Selection process The process will consist of approximately two stages. The search is being conducted with absolute confidentiality, ensuring maximum discretion throughout the entire process.
