Garage48 is a community of people inspired to work full-heartedly without excuses. We love what we do, honestly. Our mission is to bring out the best in people - boost their creativity, bring out their entrepreneurial minds and guide them towards the execution of their bold ideas. None of us came here with a 100% match or the exact skill-sets listed in the job ad, but each and every one of us has a strong desire to learn and grow. We’re in search of like-minded individuals with a strong desire to create impact. Please be ready for a very hands-on approach- although having a vision is nice, we are not looking for strategists only.

We are looking for a person with a natural drive to initiate and lead a project from the very beginning to the end - an experienced project manager who gets inspired by the opportunity to lead bigger cooperation projects, develop concepts from the scratch and fundraise through both public and private channels. A strong ability to work individually will help you thrive in our team. As we have a small team, this includes the actual execution, not just coordinating. Please be ready for a very hands-on approach- although having a vision is nice, we are not looking for strategists only.
