This is a cross-functional position that allows for a variety of missions, both administrative (HR, finance and public procurement) and operational (reception, logistics, management of the institution's hemicycle). We touch on all areas of management in general (team management, HR, etc.) and project management (implementation of certification, procedures, event management, coordination and projects with various departments, etc.).
What I like most about my job :
- The relationship it requires: It allows me to meet different people every week but also to build long-lasting working relationships with other departments or external service providers.
- The urgency: you have to be reactive in order to respond to the requests of politicians but also of agents.
- It does not directly serve the user, but allows to support and facilitate all the departments in the realization of their missions by creating the appropriate conditions so that they can implement public policies and thus render an optimal service to users.

My main missions are, on the one hand, the conception and the animation of projects having for objective to propose a favorable environment for the establishment of companies. On the other hand, the accompaniment of the entrepreneurs (support to the creation, the development, the resumption of company). I also have a mission to coordinate the Intervention Fund for Services, Crafts and Commerce (FISAC).
What I like most about my job:
There is no "typical day." The project owners have various needs and require answers adapted to each particularity, which makes the work very stimulating!
I also enjoy being in contact with a variety of partners (associations, companies, local authorities, elected officials). This is one of the essential challenges of this position: creating links in order to generate added value for the companies and its territory.
Finally, it is necessary to be in the field, which is, in my opinion, one of the strong points of this job.

My job is to implement the policy of the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region concerning its competence related to entrepreneurship. My main mission is to work on the "Mon projet d'entreprise" program, which is a support program for the creation, takeover, development, rebound and transmission of businesses, with a budget of 8 million euros and which supports more than 7700 entrepreneurs.

There are real partnerships that are created with the heads of networks over the years. It is an interesting relationship.
