ReGeneration
Job Title: Junior Business Development Manager
About Us:
Eight years ago — and with a healthy dose of delusional optimism — we founded ReGeneration with a vision to not only transform the lives of young graduates but to permanently change the trajectory of modern-day Greece by democratizing access to opportunity, creating agents of change from within and infusing the oxygen of possibility to a country on the verge of entrepreneurial extinction.
To date, ReGeneration has provided 690.000 training hours in cutting-edge technologies and career-readiness skills to young Greeks (51% female). Engaging 925+ hiring partners, ReGeneration has placed 2600 individuals in white-collar positions.
The decision to build ReGeneration as a non-profit was highly intentional. Our focus has always been on creating lasting social value, rather than capturing a momentary profit. We are a program built by underdogs, with a platform designed to make self-made success stories possible by equipping the next generation of professionals to offer Greece a new narrative of resilience, diversity and economic mobility. Fundamentally, we rise by lifting others.
