Director for Market Research

As the Director for Marketing Translation of ELSA the Netherlands, you will be responsible for coordinating the ELSA international market research survey campaign. You tasks will include creating small actions and materials that could encourage ELSA members and outsiders from the Netherlands to contribute to the international data-gathering. The survey closes in April, hence, your work would most likely finish then. Possibly, after that time, we could develop national market research campaigns to gather Dutch-focused human resource information.

Skill requirements: Communication, organization, creativity, open-mindess.

Language requirements: English, minimum at the B2 level.

Assistant for External Relations

As the Assistant for External Relations under the VP Marketing of ELSA the Netherlands, you will support the VP with the search for marketing parters. Those are important, as they allow for expanding our network, reaching new people, but also may create opportunities for financial and academic cooperations. You will help develop acquisition strategies and establish long-term relationships with various companies, bodies, etc.

Skill requirements: Communication, organization, persuasion, negotiation, creativity, open-mindess.

Language requirements: English, minimum at the B2 level. Dutch is a strong plus.

Director for Marketing Translation

As the Director for Marketing Translation of ELSA the Netherlands, you will be in charge of translating most of the materials we publish on our social media platforms and the website. Even though, most of our activities are in English, we believe that it is important to uphold the identity of our national group, by preserving its language in our communications, but also to ensure that all the law students in the Netherlands can be sufficiently informed about our work and initiatives. For that, we need a translator, from English to Dutch.

Skill requirements: Organization, time-management, good writing skills.

Language requirements: Dutch, at the very least, at the C1 level. English, minimum at the B2 level.

Director for STEP

As the Director for STEP for ELSA the Netherlands, you will be working to gain partnerships for traineeships with law firms or other institutions for STEP. Your task would be to approach law firms or institutions for traineeships and verify the law firms approached by local groups. You will also be matching the applications with the STEP traineeship providers and providing assistance to trainees coming to the Netherlands from abroad.

Skill requirements: Communication, organization, persuasion, good writing skills.

Language requirements: English, minimum at the B2 level. A Dutch-speaking candidate would be preferred.
