The Senior Communications Officer will ensure the proper use of the IUCN brand and coherence with IUCN’s global communications policies and standards throughout its work.
Specific duties
• Spearhead and oversee communication activities of the IUCN European Regional Office, ensuring high-quality branding and outputs:
• Lead the implementation of communications activities in relevant projects, especially related to EU policy;
• Manage EURO’s corporate and project websites and social accounts;
• Prepare annual reports and other key corporate communications material;

The above job description contains the main duties and responsibilities for this position. However, in an organisation such as IUCN, staff members are expected to show flexibility in their approach to work and be willing to undertake other tasks that are reasonably allocated to them but which are not part of their regular job description. Where any task becomes a regular part of an employee's responsibilities, the job description will be changed in consultation with the employee and relevant colleagues.
SALARY
The gross annual salary for this position is in the range from EUR 60.000 to EUR 80.000 (depending on skills, experiences and IUCN equity analysis) subject to deductions for social security contributions and health insurance, and before tax.
