Are you passionate about communication, health, and EU initiatives? If so, you may be the professional we’re seeking to join us in the fight against cancer.

In other words, the European Cancer Organisation (ECO) is on the hunt for a full-time ‘Communication Officer' - including EU Projects. (Contrat à durée indéterminée - CDI).

Europe has a plan to eliminate cancer, and as a not-for-profit federation working in cancer at the European level, we can now take real action through its implementation – and that’s where you come in.

Both exciting and complex projects have been coming our way and we require a comms savvy EU enthusiast to work alongside our youthful team of over 20 internationals. Team spirit can be found in buckets, especially as you’ll be part of both the Communication and EU Projects teams!

We encourage you to apply if:

• You have previous experience working on EU Projects (highly desirable)
• You can get creative in developing the right strategies to execute the communication aspects of our projects.
• You love to plan and get into the details, ensuring successful project output in a timely and organised manner.
• You can help manage a budget and report on spending, keeping a close eye on numbers and negotiating with external suppliers.
• You know how to put together informative, nice-looking presentations with support from the team.
• You can form positive working relationships via email, virtual meetings, and face to face, keeping stakeholder management a priority.
• You enjoy taking the lead and being a coordinator when needed.
• You thrive while multi-tasking and can be flexible to help elsewhere when asked.

Requirements:

• Right to work in the EU and already physically based in Belgium with willingness to work in Brussels.
• Native or near-native level written and spoken English – ECO’s working language.
• Computer and internet efficiency (with ability to use Microsoft Office applications: Teams, Word, Excel, etc.), as well as website (CMS) and social media management.
• University degree / completed studies.
• Representing ECO with professionalism and a friendly outgoing attitude.
• While working for ECO, be committed to our mission. This includes abiding by our workplace values and rules.
