You will work closely with your colleagues within Corporate Affairs (including Public Affairs and Internal Communications) and act as a trusted adviser, partnering with relevant internal stakeholders across multiple disciplines and all management levels.

You are eager to take over ownership and drive new ideas and fresh formats independently.

You will identify potential risks and opportunities at an early stage and future-proof the company’s reputation through relevant communication measures.

You should have extensive (5+ years) relevant experience in media relations or journalism – ideally in corporate communications in a fast-paced environment: You know how to handle sensitive topics confidently with media representatives and are experienced in strategic communications.

You should come with a passion for innovation and tech topics such as Artificial Intelligence, and the ability to craft stories that cater to both corporate and consumer audiences.

You will convince with your excellent written English; German and/or other languages is a plus.

You should have a strong sense of ownership and responsibility, an eye for innovative formats in communications and attention to detail.

You will be a team player with excellent problem analytical skills, empathy, curiosity, creative thinking and strengths in execution.

You should be confident in managing cross-functional processes and building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
