Interested?

We want to meet you as soon as possible, so don’t hesitate to email your application or questions before December 8th to 
.
The first round of interviews will be between 
December 13th and 20th
.
We aim to provide equal opportunities to everyone, but we cannot communicate with each applicant personally. Therefore, we faced a choice: Do we limit the number of applications and handle each one personally, or do we give more people a chance but send standard rejections? We have opted for the latter.

This means that our selection commission, consisting of three colleagues, reviews all applications once the closing date has passed. You will receive an email from us with an invitation or a rejection.

SOMO believes in the strength and necessity of a diverse and inclusive organisation. A diversity-oriented perspective is, therefore, a plus. We aim for greater diversity and better representation of people from different backgrounds in our organisation.

Acquisition from agencies in response to our job postings is not appreciated.
