Press officer needed

The Council of European Municipalities and Regions (CEMR) Secretariat General in Brussels is looking for Press Officer.

The press officer will report to the communication officer, and more indirectly, to the secretary general. He/she will work in close collaboration with the communication officer and will primarily focus on press and media issues, mostly in English and French. He/she will be expected to work under extremely tight deadlines, to prioritise between conflicting requests, and to show initiative and diplomacy as well as acute communication flair. The candidate must have excellent writing and editorial skills and be able to simplify complex information for readers with little European expertise and who often do not speak English or French as a mother tongue.

The position is based in Brussels.

Apply before 15 March 2013.
