Berlin, Deutschland Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Vollzeit

**The Foundation**

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: that people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. By building a global and cultural workplace that supports greater diversity, equity, and inclusion — of voices, ideas, and approaches — together with our employees and partners, we can help all people improve their lives from poverty and health to education. As an organization we offer full healthcare premiums coverage, generous paid time off, contribution to your retirement fund, several employee communities, and a commitment to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into everything we do.

**The Team**

In June 2020, the foundation established a new Communications Division, led by the Chief Communications Officer, to oversee the foundation’s global communications strategy. The division brings together internal and external communications to advance the foundation’s mission of a more equitable world.

The Global Communications team is responsible for shaping internal and external use of foundation voice to protect the foundation’s reputation and advance its priority advocacy and program objectives and ensure that employees are meaningfully connected to the foundation’s mission and community. The team is responsible for comprehensive voice planning for foundation leadership and key spokespeople as well as driving engagement with media.

The Europe, Middle East and East Asia (EMEEA) team is the “ambassadorial network” of the foundation operating out of offices in London and Berlin. In addition to the two offices, the team’s country representatives are embedded in the political capitals of each major government donor and based in country (London, Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Stockholm, and Tokyo). As a team, we bring deep insights on the political landscape, media and public attitudes, and the foundation’s ability to influence decision making on our issues to the rest of the foundation. Through our network of representatives and advocacy partners in these capitals, we advocate on behalf of our program teams to relevant decision makers to build support for our programmatic objectives. Our currency is the strength of our relationships with decision makers, our credibility as an effective partner co-investing alongside our donors, the depth of our political analysis and intelligence, and the influence of our co-chairs. Our ultimate objective in EMEEA is to secure sustained and/or increased funding for the foundation’s key programmatic priorities as well as a supportive policy environment.

**The Role**

The **Senior Communications Officer - Northern Europe** will develop and implement a communications strategy for Germany and the Nordic countries, with the overarching purpose of strengthening the reputation of the foundation and advancing the foundation’s advocacy goals in the region.

The focus of the role (circa 80%) will be on advancing a set of communications outcomes in Germany:

- Improvement in awareness of, trust in, and favorability towards the foundation.
- Stronger awareness among target audiences of key foundation policy positions.
- Strengthened profile of foundation local leadership among target audiences.
- Strengthened communications partnership with German institutions.
- Stronger enabling environment in Germany to encourage increased political commitment to international development and / or accountability for past commitments.

This role will report to the Deputy Director (DD) for EMEEA Communications. The postholder will furthermore act as a thought partner to the Berlin-based Director, Europe (EMEEA) and the government relations leads in Berlin and Stockholm, as well as to other internal partners wishing to pursue activities in these geographies. The role will work closely with the Senior Communications Officers in our other core donor countries, our Digital Content and Partnerships lead, the Global Communications team and other partners based in Seattle, as well as external partners and grantees in Germany and the Nordic countries.

The postholder will be based at the foundation’s **Berlin office**, with semi-regular travel to London, Stockholm, Oslo, and occasional travel to Seattle, where the foundation is headquartered.

**What You'll Do**
- Develop a communications strategy to strengthen the foundation’s reputation and advance key advocacy goals in Germany and the Nordic countries, including an executive communications strategy in support of EMEEA-based leadership.
- Implement these strategies, including managing day-to-day use of foundation voice, message development, story pitching, spokesperson outreach and briefing, and media handling.
- Develop and implement market-specific tactical communications plans around leadership trips, partnership announcements, and global landmark events as determined by th
