Brussels, Belgique European Defense Agency Temps plein

The European Defence Agency 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.

**4. DUTIES**

Under the supervision of the Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive, the jobholder will be responsible for the following activities:
**Communication advice to EDA management**
- define, implement and provide oversight of the Agency’s overall communication strategy through all relevant channels;
- review public statements and publications to ensure they are in line with the Agency’s strategic positioning, policy messaging and overall image;
- provide expert advice and support to EDA’s top management in day-to-day contacts with media to ensure consistency of EDA key messages;
- coordinate the EDA’s press activities, interviews and media placement for EDA top management, in close coordination with Chief Executive/Deputy Chief Executive.

**Public information office**
- act as the external voice of the Agency: spokesperson service for media, the defence community, and wider public;
- draft, design, produce and disseminate all EDA information and communication material (press releases, web news, newsletters, magazine, e-news, factsheets, brochures, audio-visual, multimedia, etc.);
- define and oversee the implementation of specific direct communication activities with Agency’s key stakeholders (Member States/Ministries of Defence) and institutional partners to provide constant information on work progress and achievements of EDA projects, programmes and activities;
- organise high-level, high-visibility events/conferences;
- welcome visitor groups (EDA presentations) to the Agency;

**Digital communication**
- oversee maintenance and further development of the EDA’s website as the Agency’s main communication channel;
- manage EDA’s social media channels;
- manage the EDA’s corporate communications’ style/standards.

**Internal communication**
- further develop and coordinate the implementation of the EDA internal communication strategy together with the relevant internal stakehold
