Job description

At Hager, we are strengthening our positioning in Project Business solutions, an area focused on supporting complex building projects with tailored electrical distribution solutions from design to delivery.

To support this ambition, we are looking for a Communication Specialist Senior - Project Business (m/f/d) who combines strategic thinking, editorial excellence, and strong stakeholder collaboration.

In this role, you will help shape how Hager is perceived by key audiences through credible, journalistic, proof-based content across earned and owned channels. You will develop communication concepts, identify strong story opportunities, and turn complex topics, project references, and expert input into clear, engaging narratives that build reputation rather than simply promote products.

Working at the crossroads of PR, editorial content, and strategic communication, you will write and edit high-quality English content, manage an editorial pipeline, and lead projects from idea to publication across press, web, and social media. You will also play an important role in ensuring narrative consistency, message clarity, and a corporate tone that is image-building, trustworthy, and non-advertorial.

If you are passionate about reputation-building through strong content and strategic storytelling, we look forward to hearing from you.

As a Communication Specialist Senior - Project Business (m/f/d) you will report to our Communication Manager - Head of Brand Experience, Sponsoring & Consumer PR in the Group Communications - Brand Experience, Sponsoring & Consumer PR department based in Obernai (67 - FR) or Blieskastel (DE) for a Permanent contract.

Main Responsibilities

• Strengthen Hager's corporate reputation and support the company's repositioning in Project Business solutions by developing and delivering credible, journalistic, proof-based editorial content across earned and owned channels, with a consistent corporate tone that is image-building rather than sales-led.
• Develop and implement communication strategies and editorial concepts that support Hager's positioning in Project Business solutions.
• Identify and develop compelling story opportunities aligned with strategic business priorities and reputation-building objectives.
• Create and edit high-quality English content, including articles, customer stories, project references, press materials, and digital content.
• Translate complex technical, project, and business topics into clear, engaging, and evidence-based narratives.
• Manage and continuously animate the editorial calendar and content pipeline across multiple communication channels.
• Coordinate content creation and publishing across press, web, and social media, ensuring consistency and channel relevance.
• Lead communication projects from concept to publication, ensuring stakeholder alignment, quality, and on-time delivery.
• Collaborate with internal experts and stakeholders across Communications, Marketing, Sales, and Business teams to gather insights and shape compelling narratives.
• Contribute to the development of consistent messaging, proof points, and storytelling frameworks that support Hager's strategic repositioning.
• Ensure all content reflects a credible, reputation-focused, and non-promotional communication approach, with strong attention to accuracy, consistency, and compliance.

Your profile

• Master's degree in communications, Journalism, PR, Marketing, or a related field, with at least 8 years of experience in PR, editorial content, corporate communications, or journalism-style storytelling.
• Strong strategic thinking and editorial skills, including copywriting, editing, content development, and editorial planning.
• Good understanding of Project Business environments, ideally within construction, electrical solutions, energy management, services, or other B2B sectors, with the ability to translate complex technical and business topics into engaging and credible stories.
• Strong stakeholder management, networking, and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and coordinate across an international matrix organization.
• Curious, structured, and detail-oriented professional with sound judgment, a strong sense of credibility, and a reputation-focused mindset.
• Fluent English is required; French and/or German would be an advantage.
