Job description

Über JUNI

JUNI is the springboard for science-based startups in Berlin-Brandenburg, bridging the gap between world-class research and the global market. As a winner of the EXIST lighthouse competition, we are a non-profit organization, supported by a consortium of 40 scientific institutions and 14 industry partners, mobilising over €25 million in total volume. With a focus on AI, life sciences, and greentech, we provide the infrastructure for a new generation of European market leaders.

Deine Aufgaben

Our story deserves to be heard: by founders and researchers who should know what we offer, by the partners we build with, from Berliner Sparkasse, Bayer and Telekom to TU, Charité and the IHK, and by a wider public we want to win over – because what happens in these labs changes lives, and people should see it.

We are looking for a Communications Manager who can tell that story so it reaches those audiences and stays with them. This is a key role in a young organization with an important mission: bringing science out of the lab and into the world. You report directly to our Head of Communications, who sets brand messaging and narrative. Everything downstream of that is yours: what gets written, published, improved and measured.

Editorial channels

• Ownership of our editorial channels: LinkedIn as our primary stage, Instagram as a secondary one, our website, and our newsletters
• Writing the content yourself (posts, newsletter editions, and landing pages) in a voice that is recognisably ours and consistent wherever it appears
• Building and maintaining our website: you create and update pages yourself, keep content current, and make sure our core audiences find what they need
• Developing a working repertoire of post formats, newsletter sections, and page templates, so our output is recognisable, consistent and faster to produce
• Running an editorial calendar and planning ahead of time – you decide what is worth publishing and what is not
• Regular reporting on core KPIs, including what you would change and why

Partner communications

• Joint communication with our Business and Science Partners – leading companies and top-tier academic institutions in the region
• Translating partnerships into content: announcements, joint campaigns, and formats that give both sides something worth sharing
• Coordinating with partner communications teams, agencies, and internal stakeholders, and holding the quality line when several parties have an opinion

Event communications

• Communication around our events, from small, exclusive gatherings to our flagship formats: announcement, registration, and the follow-up that makes the next edition easier to fill
• Live communication on event days: capturing moments as they happen and publishing while they still matter
• Working with our Events team on audience development: who needs to be in the room, and how we get them there

Dein Profil

• Several years of experience in communications, content marketing, or online editorial work, ideally in an organisation where you owned the channels rather than briefed an agency
• Strong English: our channels currently run in English, and you produce publication-ready content without a second pair of eyes. German fluent on top, for partners, stakeholders, and internal work
• Excellent writing: you turn complex, research-heavy topics into clear, engaging content for very different audiences
• Demonstrable experience growing channels: you have moved numbers on LinkedIn, in a newsletter, or on a website, and you can explain exactly how
• Confident hands-on with a CMS and a newsletter tool: you build pages and campaigns yourself
• Comfortable with senior partners and institutions: you represent us well and keep things moving without escalating every question
• You work without being managed: you set your own priorities, know what each piece of work is optimizing for, and are honest about where you still need to grow
• You see the small broken thing and fix it rather than reporting itYou deliver when the plan changes – which it will. You flag problems early and directly, and you find the next route fast
• Journalistic or PR experience is a plus, as media relations may become part of this role

Wir bieten

• A role with real ownership: you give a young organisation its public voice, and what you build now is what people will recognise us by
• A long-term perspective: initially fixed-term for 24 months, with the plan to make it permanent
• Direct contact with founders, researchers, leading companies, and decision-makers
• A close-knit team that has each other's back, leaves room for mistakes, and gives you room to grow
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working
• A modern working environment across several locations in Berlin
• Compensation that reflects experience and responsibility
