Outreach & Communications Coordinator
(40 hours per week)
Activities
The Outreach & Communications Coordinator will be responsible for general communications support and content creation within the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision’s target group ‘Heritage Professionals and Researchers’. Your portfolio will include supporting comms and event planning for projects connected to two European wide initiatives, EUscreen and Europeana.
Working within each project team, your main focus is to maximize impact by developing the projects’ stakeholder networks and comms and delivering engaging events (online and in-person). This means you are able to juggle planning, timing, and resources while keeping sight of the scope of the projects. You are hands-on and pragmatic when it comes to finding creative solutions on the stakeholder side as well as within the individual project teams. You keep a cool head when stress levels rise and thrive on teamwork and collaboration. Together with the team you continuously search for ways to improve workflow and make internal processes more efficient.
You will be based in our offices in Hilversum, with flexibility for some home working (especially under the current Covid19 restrictions). You will regularly collaborate and work physically and remotely with colleagues from various European countries. You will also be expected to travel within Europe (when safe to do so) for project related events and meetings about 4-6 times per year.
The person we are looking for can work in an international environment with colleagues from many cultural backgrounds. You have experience with communicating complex content clearly to non-technical audiences. You have the experience and discipline to be well-organised, and you’re not afraid to teach yourself new skills when needed. You can help strategically plan for maximum engagement with specialist stakeholders and audiences.
