Creative Communications Consultant 

(36 hours)

This is where you'll be working

You’ll be joining a close-knit, energetic, and professional communications team consisting of a team leader, five communications advisors, and two communications staff members. Together, we form the backbone of the organization: from internal communications to program promotion, from corporate issues to raising the profile of our presenters. And from (crisis) communications to organizing press conferences and premieres—together, we deliver high-quality work.

We are a friendly, informal, and professional team. We set high standards, but we value a sense of humor just as much. Everyone has their own projects and works independently. We contribute ideas and step in when needed. Our lines of communication are short, both within the team and across the organization. We’re committed, have a sharp eye for detail, work hard, don’t have a 9-to-5 mentality, and adapt quickly when current events demand it. At the same time, there’s a lot of flexibility, and working from home is an option.

At AVROTROS, we believe in the power of diversity and inclusion. That is why we warmly invite candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply. We value the differences between people and want to build a team that reflects the society in which we operate. We’ll be honest: we’re not there yet. If that’s okay with you and you’re willing to work with us to get there, we’re very open to that.

What you will be doing 

• You will develop unique campaigns and creative initiatives that strengthen the AVROTROS brand;
• You will develop cross-media communication plans for various programs, from concept to launch. In doing so, you will work closely with colleagues from the online and marketing teams;
• You will serve as the point of contact for the press and media. You will draft press releases, arrange interviews, and proactively handle public relations for your programs and presenters;
• Performs all relevant external and internal communication tasks.

Who We're Looking For 

We are looking for a creative and strategic communications professional with a keen sense of how to position our brand and our programs. Someone who is passionate about AVROTROS’s content and who can develop creative ideas from concept to execution.

• Strategic and conceptual thinking skills;
• Creatively strong: you dare to think freely and come up with refreshing perspectives;
• Experience in maintaining media relations, serving as a spokesperson, and liaising with various stakeholders;
• You have a proactive work ethic and are driven by the desire to make an impact;
• You enjoy working as part of a team, but are also capable of managing projects on your own;
• A hands-on approach: you don't just contribute ideas, you also take charge of the implementation.

Here's what we offer

In addition to a challenging position in an ambitious and creative organization, we offer a 36-hour-per-week employment contract for one year, with the possibility of extension. The position is classified in pay scale H, in accordance with the Collective Bargaining Agreement for Broadcasting Personnel. This collective bargaining agreement includes, among other things:

• 8% vacation pay;
• 6% December bonus;
• A travel allowance of €0.21 per kilometer (up to 100 km per day);
• Option to work partly from home;
• If you are a full-time employee, you are entitled to 25 days of vacation per year, to be scheduled in consultation;
• A health insurance allowance of €52 gross per month;
• A training budget, along with various knowledge-sharing sessions and courses;
• The freedom to exchange holidays and use our prayer and meditation rooms;
• A wheelchair-accessible building with modifications where necessary;
• Fun get-togethers, parties, and other informal occasions to get to know your coworkers better (no strings attached, of course).
