Multipliers Outreach Unit – Post A: CSO Multipliers Outreach

As the voice of citizens, the European Parliament stands for European democracy. The Directorate-General for Communication (DG COMM) amplifies its message of the Parliament to reach every corner of Europe. We help connect Members of Parliament (MEPs) to the people they represent, and we communicate what the Parliament is, what it does, and what it stands for. When Parliament speaks, we make sure it’s heard.

We are committed communication professionals coming from various professional and academic backgrounds.

The Multipliers Outreach Unit collaborates with the whole spectrum of pan-EU civil society organisations, partners of EP Prizes, stakeholders and engaged individuals. We are building close relationships to create networks of multipliers and to encourage them to disseminate Parliament’s work and messages to their own audiences and to actively engage with the European Parliament. 

As the CSO multipliers’ trainee you will have the opportunity to work on several projects within the unit that are focusing on activating pan-European civil society organisations to communicate about Parliament’s activities, values and goals to their audiences and networks. Ultimately, contributing to ensure that people across Europe understand what the European Parliament is, what it does, and what it stands for.

Your tasks will consist of stakeholder management (mapping, email marketing, calendar management, social media monitoring, etc.), assisting in meetings with stakeholders, assisting in internal meetings as well as cross-unit meetings and identifying dissemination opportunities across different sectors.

Moreover, you will assist at communication tasks such as managing databases, usage of CRM-tools as well as other supports; drafting invitations, collecting information, research, social media listening via Talkwalker, etc. 

At partner’s events, events hosted by the unit and unit’s internal events, you will be asked to help with preparation (from communication to set-up of the venue), coordination and evaluation. You will also be involved in reporting tasks.

Do you have a solid background and/or a first professional experience in Communication, Events and/or PR? Then this traineeship might be a match...

Do you have experience in working with civil society? Are you a great networker and do you easily adapt to different settings? Are creativity, curiosity and entrepreneurship part of your skillset? You are pro-active and don’t shy away from responsibility?  Do you have excellent organisational skills and have experience with CRM, e-mail marketing and data management? Are you a team player full of enthusiasm? Then you might be the candidate we are looking for!

You have obtained/will obtain a university degree (level 6 of EQF or higher) at least three months before the starting date of the traineeship.

The European Parliament is dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We welcome all candidates, regardless of their geographical, racial or ethnic origin, political or religious beliefs, age, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, civil status, or family situation.
