  • Flexibility of working time and place, supporting a healthy work-life-balance

  • Development and management of our relationships with press and diverse media outlets in Germany, and briefing of spokespersons
  • Creation of outputs for press, policymakers and other target groups, such as press releases, opinion pieces, quotes, factsheets and social media posts
  • Supporting projects in disseminating outputs and tailoring messages to our key audiences, including targeting mid- to high-level policymakers in Germany, the European Commission, partners and the press
  • Maintenance of the ZOE website (Wordpress) in collaboration with other members of the team

This role suits someone with a proven, demonstrable desire to work in public policy communications for social impact. The specific tasks and responsibilities will be agreed together based on the list above and the selected candidate's specific background, skills, preferences and the areas they wish to develop.

  • At least 2 years of professional experience in managing external communications

  • Ability to spot and respond to communications opportunities
  • Excellent attention to detail, and a strong motivation to deliver high-quality outputs
  • Capability to work on several projects in parallel and to work with ease across projects and teams
  • Native-level fluency in written and spoken German and excellent working capability in English

Benefits

We are looking for someone to join our team for 30-40 hours per week for 12 months. The position will start ideally 1st October 2024. We offer the possibility to work remotely and to be regularly present at our offices in Cologne, Berlin, and Brussels.

The gross monthly salary for 40 hours per week is 3000-3500 euros, prorated for fewer hours. The remuneration for this position is based on our internal salary framework, informed by the collective agreement of the public service of the Länder. For a full-time (40 hours) position, 30 holiday days are offered for 1 calendar year.

Diversity

We believe that our society’s behaviour disproportionately hurts the most marginalised people – including people of colour, people from working class backgrounds, people with disabilities, women and LGBTIQ people. We are committed to challenge this through our work for socially just development and by creating a diverse workplace at our organisation. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people who are members of marginalised communities.

We are continuously accepting applications and encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Please send: a) your CV (max 3 pages), b) a motivation letter (400–500 words) explaining why you would like to work with ZOE Institute as a Communications Manager – Germany, and c) a sample of your work (power point slides, publication, press release or similar).
Please do not attach a photo to your application.
