About BCW

As the global communications agency in the business of moving people, BCW guides client partners to powerful, culturally relevant ideas, programs and messages that inspire their key stakeholders to think differently, feel deeply and act urgently.

BCW’s commitment to moving people starts with our employees. Here you’ll find ways to ignite your growth while doing meaningful work for exceptional clients in an environment that prioritises your success, compels collaboration and celebrates learning. We’re committed to moving our people forward in their careers and helping them learn and grow as people and professionals.

We wholly believe that creating truly inclusive and innovative solutions is critical to our success, so Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accountability (I.D.E.A.) are embedded into everything we do for our people, agency, clients and the communities we serve. We strongly encourage applications from talent across all dimensions of race/ethnicity and the LGBTQ+, differently abled and veteran communities.

And while there is no one kind of BCW person, everyone at BCW has something in common: A mindset, a way of responding to challenges with openness, curiosity and a commitment to learning. BCW will feed that drive by rewarding courageous tenacity and nurturing your dynamic career.

The Role:

We are looking for one intern to join our Technology and Digital Economy team in Brussels for a 6-month paid internship, starting February 2024.

During the internship, you will research & monitor key policy trends, regulatory changes and media developments on tech, foreign affairs, geopolitics, competition and digital policy. Using various tools and platforms, you will draft insightful client reports and briefings that distill complex information into actionable intelligence.

As an integral part of 2-3 client teams, you will help execute tailored advocacy campaigns allowing you to gain first-hand experience in consulting work in EU affairs. This will entail mapping and engaging relevant stakeholders, attending and organising political events and conferences, as well as drafting content for social media campaigns.

Furthermore, you will have the opportunity to contribute to new business proposals where you will collaborate with different teams across the office. Your involvement in the development of proposals will allow you to showcase your creative thinking during brainstorming sessions and contribute your innovative ideas to create engaging and persuasive slide decks.

By working closely with an experienced and dynamic team, you will not only hone your skills and develop in-depth expertise on legislative developments, but also build a network that will be invaluable to your career in public affairs and communications.

Requirements

Experience that contributes to your success:

  • Knowledge and a keen interest in EU policy and decision-making processes, with a desirable focus on technology issues, digital policy and/or foreign affairs.
  • Strong research and analytical skills.
  • Familiarity with digital communications and social media tools are an advantage.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Proactive, resourceful and a team player.
  • Critical thinking with a desire to learn in a fast-paced and international environment.
  • Further education in a relevant field, such as but not limited to EU or international politics, law, digital policy, competition policy, digital communications, etc.
  • Previous public affairs experience in an EU institution, regulatory organisation, trade association, advocacy organisation (NGO), company or consultancy is desirable (but not essential).
  • Excellent spoken and written English – other European languages are an asset, especially a good command of French.

What we offer:

  • A 6-month agreement under Convention d’Immersion Professionnelle (CIP). Please note that the CIP agreement excludes any internships for which the intern receives academic credit or undertakes as a part of a degree.
  • A stimulating work experience in a young and dynamic EU affairs office with a multicultural environment (20+ nationalities).
  • Training opportunities.
  • Hybrid working model.

Practicalities

  • Start date – February 2024

Please note the following:

  • the CIP convention excludes any internships for which the intern receives academic credit or undertakes as a part of a degree.
  • in order to eligible for a CIP convention, the candidates must have the right to work full-time in Belgium.
