This would include (but is not limited to)
- Suggesting communication directions in line with the Ecsite Strategy and create communication content in close collaboration with the Executive Director
- Planning and implementation of the Communication activities, namely the Ecsite Conference
- Leadership of the Communication team
The position will be to develop and deliver Ecsite’s communications offer, in line with the Ecsite brand. This includes the Ecsite website, Spokes, a monthly digital newsletter and quarterly digest, social media, Ecsite corporate publications, materials for the Ecsite Conference, contributions to the dissemination actions of the European projects and other items.
As part of a small team, the Communications Manager will work closely on a wide range of topics including science communication, science centres and museums, science in society issues, EU policy related to public engagement with science, and other themes that concern Ecsite and its members.
Note that the position offers limited opportunity to draft science communication contents: Ecsite news are about science engagement and we rarely report on science topics per se. Neither is it suited for applicants wishing to work in policy making.
