We Trust: Our team structure relies on self-organization. We want to work with colleagues who don't have to look 'up' for approval, nor look 'down' and give instructions.

We Grow: As we are always embarking on new projects and challenges, a continuous learning mindset and a 'Can Do' attitude is a must. We are conscientious, and we focus on learning and achieving our goals. We give power to people so they can make decisions and plot their own paths with help from all around them.

We have fun: We also know that you need to balance seriousness with fun. If you can make people smile, you will be off to a great start!

3. A month in the life of a Community Manager at Vizzuality.

This role's main focus will be supporting the communications team on our Horizon Europe and international NGO projects. Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding program for research and innovation. We are partners of several consortiums and lead the communication and dissemination of some of these projects. They are of various sizes, ranging from a partnership of 7 to 21 organizations. For each, we need to oversee the content calendar, ensure actions from all partners are documented, and publish a steady flow of communications per various channels, including but not limited to social media, website blogs, and newsletters. This involves a mixture of planning, coordinating, editing, and content creation. 

Some of the main project topics we are currently covering are coastal risk, climate and nature risk to critical infrastructure, and citizen science. Expertise in these specific topics will not be necessary, but understanding the wider scope of sustainability will be helpful for grasping the content and more effective communication.   

• Help your communication team colleagues manage content plans and calendars for our Horizon Europe projects.
• Pair with your peers to learn what our processes and tools are.
• Edit partner content to ensure a consistent voice and dissemination of best practices are used for each project account. 
• Create compelling, targeted content for external audiences. You will write blogs and create social media content.
• Support the regular publication of digital content that communicates the project's work, knowledge, and purpose.
• Manage multiple social media accounts and lead the community management on these channels. Foster a positive, inclusive, and engaging environment.
• Engage with our community and key voices to build interesting and active social media platforms. Our primary platform is LinkedIn. 
• Monitor community engagement metrics, analyze data, and provide regular reports with insights and recommendations for improvement.
