Our Rostock-based team is international, and our working language is English. As part of the communication team, you will help us tell the stories behind our projects, create content for digital channels and make the results of European cooperation visible across the Baltic Sea region. You will find more information about us here: www.interreg-baltic.eu.

• An interest and practical experience in digital communication, social media and creating visual or video content;
• Experience with a content management system, ideally WordPress, is an advantage;
• An interest in the Baltic Sea region, European cooperation and EU-related topics;
• Attention to detail and a structured, reliable approach to work.

Terms of employment

You will report to the Team Leader Programme Unit, and the MA/JS director. The employer will be Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein (IB.SH) as the hosting institution of the Managing Authority/Joint Secretariat. The place of employment will be in Rostock, Germany.
