Bruxelles, Région de Bruxelles, Belgique European Defense Agency Temps plein

The European Defence Agency (EDA) was established on 12 July 2004, and is governed by Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/1835 defining the statute, seat and operational rules of the European Defence Agency.

The Agency has its headquarters in Brussels.


The main task of EDA is to support the Council and the Member States in their effort to improve the Union's defence capabilities in the field of crisis management and to sustain the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as it currently stands and as it develops in the future.

The Agency is structured into four directorates.

The Corporate Services Directorate (CSD) and three operational directorates: Industry, Synergies and Enablers (ISE); Capability, Armament & Planning (CAP); Research, Technology and Innovation (RTI).


2. THE AGENCY'S WAY OF WORKING


The Agency is an "outward-facing" organisation, constantly interacting with its shareholders, the participating Member States, as well as with a wide range of stakeholders.

It works in an integrated way, with multi-disciplinary teams representing all of the Agency's functional areas, to realise its objectives.

Its business processes are flexible and oriented towards achieving results.

Staff at all levels need to demonstrate the corresponding qualities of commitment, flexibility, innovation, and team-working; to work effectively with shareholders and stakeholder groups, formal and informal; and to operate without the need for detailed direction.


3. THE MEDIA & COMMUNICATION UNIT
The Media and Communication Unit is responsible for all internal and external communication activities of the Agency.

The Unit provides communication advice to the Agency's top team and supports the entire Agency to promote its achievements in terms of project and programme output.


The Unit thus has a double function including providing communication advice to the Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive as well as a public information role.

The importance of communication within the Agency is illustrated by the fact that the Unit directly reports to the Chief Executive/Deputy Chief Executive.

The Unit consists of a small, dynamic and dedicated team.

Its aim is to efficiently and innovatively communicate developments and achievements of the Agency to a wide variety of stakeholders.

The team includes a Head of Unit, two Media and Communication Officers, a webmaster and a graphic designer/assistant and a trainee (Junior Communication Officer).

Each team member has his/her distinct tasks; and while all team members support one another, personal accountability and independent handling of tasks is expected.

A framework contract for communication activities is in place which supports the Unit among others in event management, production of publications, etc.


The main channels for external communication the Unit currently uses are its website, presence on social media platforms, publications including the biannual EDA magazine "European Defence Matters", audiovisual products, newsletters, media articles and events.

Under the supervision of the Head of Media and Communication Unit, the jobholder will be responsible for/contribute to the following activities:
