Web Communication Unit - Post E: Social media producer - Video project manager

The European Parliament stands for democracy. We help connect it to people.

This entails providing complete and impartial information to citizens and media about the European Parliament (EP), and assisting Members in their communication activities. The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) strives to reach and engage the right audience with the right message at the right time and in doing so, deliver world-class communication. We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.

The Parliament’s Web Communication Unit is made up of digital storytellers. We produce a wide range of editorial products about what is happening in the Parliament for the general public: visuals, videos, infographics, newsletters, plus video interviews with MEPs and content creators, etc. We think distribution before production; we publish on the News section of the European Parliament website but also on 12 social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, TikTok.

Because we do this simultaneously in 24 languages, we are a multinational group, with one editor per language. We also have a team of social media producers, video producers, community managers, data analysts, and project managers. We nurture the together.eu community; gather social media intelligence and much more.
