🚨 We’re hiring – Communication Director 🚨

📍 Location: Brussels | 🕒 Full-time | 🗓️ Apply by: 14 April 2025

Join GIRP at a defining moment of transformation.

GIRP, the European Healthcare Distribution Association, represents full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers across 34 countries in Europe. We ensure that patients have access to vital medications—but we often remain invisible in the process. We're changing that, and we’re looking for a Communication Director to lead the way.

This is an opportunity to shape how our voice is heard—by the public, by policymakers, and across healthcare systems in Europe.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the association's communications efforts, reporting directly to the Director-General, with a small team and budget for external communication services.
• Rebrand the association.
• Develop a new external communications strategy.
• Overhaul internal communication with members.
• Collaborate with our public affairs team to deliver on policy priorities set by the association's board.
• Work with our events team to ensure our events drive the messages and priorities we want to be known for.
• Assist the Director General and President with their public engagements when necessary.
• Manage our external communications platforms (websites, social media, etc.), including allocated budget.
• Handle relations with media outlets.
• Oversee communication service providers, including allocated budget.
• Manage internal communication platforms (intranet, app, mail services, etc.).
• Design and manage dedicated campaigns.
• Responsible for design, visual identity, and assets in this area.

Core Qualifications Required:

• 5-7 years of experience in political and/or organisational communication.
• Degree in communication or related fields.
• Fluent in English (other European languages are an asset).
• Experience working with external service providers or in communications consultancy.
• Ability to develop and execute communication strategies.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in both language and visual presentation.
• Proficiency in MS Office, InDesign, Canva, and/or other relevant software.

Why Join Us?

• You’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of healthcare distribution in Europe.
• You’ll be part of a dynamic team during a pivotal moment of transformation.
• You’ll work alongside passionate professionals who are committed to making a difference.
• GIRP is an equal opportunity employer, committed to diversity and inclusion.
• We promote a safe, respectful, and healthy work environment.
• We actively support the physical and mental well-being of everyone on our team.

If you're ready to lead impactful communication and make the invisible visible — join us.
