Former PMs: get inspired! Clementine Wencel, Senior Project Manager I have luckily been both a remote project manager (long term) and a Brussels based project Manager (short term). In both cases it was definitely worth it! Being a remote project manager allows you to be still really active in the movement you love. The fact that what you do is completely different than what you used to do in your JE is even more motivating because you don't go into routine and you feel that you are acting in another scale. As enlargement project manager I could be connected to Brazil, Croatia, Ivory Cost and Australia from my student room. This status has the benefit that you can keep your normal activities. By being Brussels based you really live in JADE's soul and make it vibers. You are in the center where everything is happening which pushes you up in a good way. You never know what tomorrow will be made of! www.jadenet.org

Living in JADE HQ
Brussels is an old European city with lovely parks and secret little streets. You can find a wide variety of cultural activities and many international people. The HQ in Brussels, the capital of Europe, helps JADE to be closer to the European Institutions and some other international Headquarters of companies, which support our Network. The geographic location makes travelling around Europe really easy. As a Project Manager, some position come with moving to Brussels, work and live in JADE HQ. The House has one floor with offices and the rest of the floors are set up for living (bedrooms, bathrooms, living room, kitchen etc.). During the stay in JADE HQ, the Team members have to share the space with other people, who also work and live there (ExBo, Assistants or other Project Managers), as well as with guests from the Network. The work of JADE Team is voluntary, so unpaid. We are trying to keep the costs of staying in JADE HQ low as you will only need to pay 2â‚Ź per day for your stay, and get access to all the accommodation/offices/food.
Working remotely
If you are not able to come and live in Brussels, for certain positions, staying with us in JADE HQ is not mandatory and you can work from your home country while keeping studying or working.
Obviously, you are more than welcome to join JADE’s Events and JADE House whenever you whish!
Although, you will be part of the Team just as any other PM, and by such we expect from you the same level of reactivity and commitment.
Project Managers working remotely are allowed to be committed in their JE’s Board, but not in their National Confederation Board.
