Your focus as an internal communication specialist would be:

  • Supporting the media relations and the social media team
You would also support the media relations team, who are part of the same Corporate Communications team, in publishing ad-hoc statements and press releases. Since we are building our presence in the US, and English is our official corporate language, being an English native speaker would be a benefit. You would need to be able to work in German and English.

  • Supporting the Intranet Publishers
You would be the first-line support for the colleagues from all areas of the company who publish our intranet-content. You will help them deal with all technical, content and layout aspects relying on our branding guidelines.

\\xe2\\x80\\x8b * Production of internal materials

You will be responsible for the oversight of the production of internal materials for corporate internal campaigns - such as posters, online banners, short videos etc. - coordinating translation, design, production and distribution.

You bring
  • A first degree in any relevant field combined with a good knowledge of online communication. We strongly believe in the value of bringing content expertise to the table, so your degree must not necessarily be in communications

  • Basic project management skills would be a benefit, since you will have to run small communication projects yourself
  • Experience in planning and implementing audio-visual formats (small videos, podcasts) would be appreciated, as would prior experience with intranet or content management tools such as confluence
