NCM LV is now looking for a project adviser, who is interested in working together with our office team, as well as Nordic institutions and organisations in a wider sense, to promote and strengthen Nordic-Baltic cooperation in support of the Nordic Vision 2030 - the Nordic Region – towards being the most sustainable and integrated region in the world.

The adviser would work mostly with the two first pillars of the vision – a green and competitive Nordic region – and would work in close contact with our current adviser for sustainability and digitalisation. Possible areas of work could potentially include innovation, digital integration, green economy, energy and research, but the final areas of responsibility would be subject to discussion with potential candidates. The position would most likely not be full-time to start with, which could mean a workload of 50-80 % depending on the agreement with the employee. The position will initially be on a project basis for two years.
