eFuture bv

eFuture is an incubator for starting online enterprises (30-35 employees). As a project coordinator I was responsible for planning and managing the IT and design department (8-10 people), organising weekly and quarterly meeting, held interviews and performance reviews. I was the bridge between the commercial departments and the development team. Since copywriting was something I really enjoyed I wrote the monthly internal magazine. Next to being a project coordinator at eFuture I supported the eFuture enterprise Acervus. I maintained the website (front-end), helped develop sales materials and wrote articles for their blog on email marketing. I gained a lot of knowledge on website development and email marketing. Due to the crisis I decided, after talking to my manager, to look for a new job.
