• Analytics & reporting: Monitor and analyse social media metrics across all Centre’s social platforms. Utilise data-driven insights to optimise our content.
• Contribute to the Communications team’s planning and organisation of both public and closed events in Prague and/or European capitals to increase the Centre’s visibility and engagement with different audiences.

• Annual contribution of up to CZK 10,000 for coaching, mentoring, or other wellbeing practices
