Director of the Communications Service - AD 10

The European University Institute (EUI) seeks a dynamic and experienced professional to lead the development and delivery of its communication strategy to achieve the EUI’s mission, objectives, and priorities. The Director of the Communications Service will be responsible for devising and overseeing comprehensive communications and marketing plans in order to enhance the EUI’s visibility, strengthen its reputation, support its mission, vision and values, and promote the impact of the EUI on societies.

The Communications Service steers and coordinates the EUI’s internal and external communication strategies. The team handles the EUI’s public and media relations efforts, produces the Institute’s central publications, and manages its social media presence. It plans or supports the organisation of major events promoting the research activities and other initiatives that reach out to the EUI community and beyond. It is also in charge of supporting the recruitment campaigns for master’s students, early-stage researchers (ESRs) and postdoctoral fellows. The Communications Service produces and disseminates information about EUI academic programmes, research, news, and events. It reaches out to faculty, staff, researchers, alumni, the social sciences community, policymakers, the press, and other stakeholders. It is responsible for defining and promoting the EUI corporate identity, and for monitoring its implementation across all the academic and administrative units of the Institute with a view to ensuring consistency in the use of the EUI’s logo, imagery, and other audio-visual materials. The Service offers training, tools and support to its members in the areas of digital communications and web, academic communications, and editorial design and layout.
