-
Preferred Start Date: January 2027
-
Application Deadline: September 24 2026

Employment type: Permanent contract
WeMove Europe is a community of people united by a vision of a better Europe. We run campaigns that empower citizens to take action and influence decision-makers at the European level.
We’re looking for a Head of Communications who will combine communications expertise and an innovative approach to storytelling to engage hundreds of thousands of Europeans in meaningful action. This role reports to the Campaigns Director and has line management responsibilities.
You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.
What you’ll do:
-
Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans
-
Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments
-
Liaise with media contacts and external agencies to find appropriate opportunities to amplify our campaigns across European and national media
-
Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns
-
Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks
-
Build and sustain contact with journalists, produce press releases and briefings, keep our media database accurate and current across our priority countries
-
Oversee and refresh our social media presence, line managing and coaching a social media manager.
-
Stay close to the news cycle and to what is working on social in order to identify moments that put our campaign in front of the people we need to move
-
Contribute to defining the success measures for communications, including social media KPIs, and oversee activity to meet them
-
Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach
-
Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.
-
The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential skills:
-
Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.
-
Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:
-
Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness.
-
Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners.
-
Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action.
-
-
Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.
-
Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications.
-
Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.
-
Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.
Important criteria:
-
Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.
-
Languages: You are fluent in English
-
Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)
-
Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post.
Nice to have
-
You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before.
-
Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.
-
You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial.
-
Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media
-
Other European languages are an added benefit.

Right now, millions of people across the UK are struggling to make ends meet. Whether it’s skipping meals, choosing between heating and rent, or facing unexpected expenses without a safety net — financial insecurity is a daily reality for far too many. At Turn2us, we’re here to change that. We support people in financial crisis to access the help they need and to build long-term financial security.
Every year, we reach millions through our practical tools like our Benefits Calculator and Grants Search, and we provide direct support through our Helpline and grant programmes. We work alongside people with lived experience of poverty to influence policy, shift public narratives, and tackle the root causes of financial insecurity.
Turn2us is serious about tackling financial insecurity both at scale and at its roots. We understand that the measurement and evaluation of all of our work is absolutely vital to achieving this and helping people thrive, and we are looking for an interim Head of Impact and Evaluation to join us on a 12-month maternity contract to support this work.
As Interim Head of Impact and Evaluation, you will be responsible for maintaining and evolving frameworks that help all colleagues understand and enhance our impact. This role will support Team Heads and Directors in decisions about prioritising work and assessing innovations that advance our vision of financial security for all. You will also work closely with the Policy Team and external partners on research that deepens our understanding of poverty and financial insecurity, while leading a dedicated team to scale and replicate effective solutions.
We’re looking for someone who sees impact not as a back-office function but as a transformative enabler of our mission. Naturally we want you to bring deep technical expertise, but also empathy, curiosity, and the leadership skills to bring others with you. This role isn’t just about ticking boxes and meeting funder paperwork requirement. It’s about supporting innovation, making crucial decisions about where we focus our efforts, and unlocking the insights that help us deliver a more just and secure society.
We know that Turn2us will benefit from leaders with new perspectives and ways of thinking, so we’re actively encouraging broad interest from impactful leaders who bring transferable skills from a wide range of backgrounds- whether commercial, from civil society, government or education. But an ability and curiosity to learn is key, as is the confidence to acknowledge the things that you don’t know.
This is a genuinely exciting and critical role: for our staff, our partners, and most importantly, the people for whom our organisation exists. We are always eager to receive approaches from people with lived experience of financial insecurity. If you can demonstrate a clear commitment to our values and ethos, and a deep personal commitment to our vision, we’d love to hear from you.

About EJF
The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) is a global non-profit organisation working to protect the natural world and our fundamental human right to a secure environment.
