Are you an analytical thinker with amazing team working skills and a determination of delivering quality on time? As Junction's Head of Operations, you’ll be responsible for organizing physical events, ranging from hackathons to speaker events.

• Previous project management and leadership experience (doesn't need to be on a significantly large scale, but at least to some degree)

• You have a strong “get things done” mentality and you get motivated when reaching your goals

• You can handle stress well and finish your tasks in tight time frames

• You’ll be working closely with other team members, essentially with our Head of Global Operations, and therefore strong teamwork and communication skills are essential
