EARS is a recruitment and talent management firm exclusively focused on public affairs. We connect employers with talent, and people with opportunity. Together, we build people into leaders - inspiring them to learn, grow and develop to their full potential.
We’re currently undergoing a re-brand with a new company name, website, blog and newsletter service that will grow our business beyond Brussels to political capitals around the world. We need a pro communicator to share about all this exciting change in ways that inform, resonate, inspire and engage.
We’re seeking candidates who truly enjoy the art of communication – from wordsmithing social posts and drafting articles to selecting visuals and curating videos. Pro digital and social skills are a must along with a track-record in public affairs.
Candidates must also be able to conceptualise and lead events to support our rebrand and overall business growth. As an entrepreneurial firm with a start-up culture, we’re seeking a motivated “doer” who isn’t afraid of a challenge and is target driven.

- Develop mutually beneficial partnerships with media and influencers in public affairs to enhance our reputation with jobseekers and employers;
- Conceptualise and lead events to support our rebrand and overall business growth;
- Manage creative/digital consultants and editorial contributions when needed;
- Recruit and manage interns as needed.
The requirements
- Advanced degree in a relevant subject area (journalism, communications, marketing, digital advertising, public affairs etc.);
- Track-record as a communicator/marketer in an international recruitment firm or in public affairs (in-house or in-agency) ideally with a network that includes journalists, politicos and influencers;
- Record of achievement as a “doer” who can lead and communicate change and organise events that make waves;
- Enjoys the art of communication and thrives with digital and social challenges;
- Native-level English, other European languages a plus.
The benefits
- Act as the company’s leader on communications and events;
- Competitive salary and benefits with a performance-based bonus;
- Own a rebrand and grow a business within a supportive entrepreneurial team open to new ideas and creative approaches;
- Work and grow alongside some of Europe’s most connected public affairs professionals;
- Engage with influential clients from international associations and multinationals to think tanks, law firms and consultancies at the highest levels.
