Marketing & Communications Associate for Exhibitions

The
Team You will be working in the Public Affairs department. The Public Affairs department is divided into two teams: the Education Team and the Marketing and Communications Team. The Marketing and Communications Team consists of 8 employees, and you will report to the Head of Public Affairs.

What will you be doing?
For the exhibition you’ll be working on, you’ll handle all publicity and marketing. You’ll work on the exhibition as part of a project team, alongside a project manager, curator, and educator, and you’ll develop the communication and marketing plan. You’ll oversee the implementation of this plan and be responsible for budget management.

Implementation may involve press releases, promotional texts, advertisements, or campaigns, both offline and online. Your responsibilities also include producing promotional materials and providing appropriate visual content (photos & video). Where necessary, you will collaborate with (media) partners or external parties. You will then ensure the effective use of all communication channels, both internally and externally.

Together with colleagues, you will develop and organize public activities and programming both on-site and off-site. This may involve organizing an event, but could also include, for example, arranging for a guest speaker.

Although your focus is on exhibitions at the Dordrechts Museum, you are part of a team responsible for the marketing and communication of all departments within the Dordrechts Museum. You may occasionally be required to perform organization-wide tasks or assist other departments as needed. You will devise and implement the communication and marketing strategy for exhibitions at the Dordrechts Museum. Your focus will be on generating attention and reaching and engaging various target audiences for the current exhibitions, thereby contributing to our growth ambitions. You will be responsible for devising and implementing paid, owned, and earned media strategies, including social media.

What are you bringing?

• A completed associate's or bachelor's degree in Marketing and Communication.
• At least 3 years of work experience in a similar position.
• You have a demonstrable interest in art and culture, preferably with experience in promoting exhibitions.
• Excellent command of spoken and written Dutch and a good command of English.
• You are creative and write fluently for a variety of purposes, taking different audiences into account.
• Ideally, you have experience working in project teams.
• It is an advantage if you have a network in the press and media industry at the local, regional, or national level.
• You are flexible in terms of your work ethic as well as your working hours. Sometimes online issues need to be resolved outside of regular business hours, and events may be organized outside of office hours where your presence is required.

You are a strategic, tactical professional with strong organizational skills. The ability to adapt quickly and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment is essential for this role. You are adept at switching between strategic and operational levels, and organizational sensitivity is of the utmost importance. You have an eye for detail, but always keep the big picture in mind.

We operate based on our belief in the power of art and history and their importance for people’s personal development and relaxation. Our mission is to help as broad and diverse an audience as possible discover what our collection can mean to them. With this mission in mind, we undertake a wide range of activities, both within and outside the walls of our locations. It is essential that these activities and the stories we convey through them resonate well with the various target groups we aim to reach, from young to old. The Marketing & Communications team (part of the Public Affairs department) contributes to this by deploying an optimal mix of resources.

• A gross monthly salary of up to €4,494 (Pay Grade 10), with pay determined based on knowledge and experience.
