Post
Young Graduate Trainee for Communication

This post is classified F1.

Location

ESA Headquarters, Paris, France 

Our team and mission

Working across all ESA centres and offices, the Internal Communication Unit fosters cohesion among the workforce and provides an internal dimension to ESA’s milestones (launches, anniversaries, celebrations). A closely-knit, geographically dispersed team of internal communication officers works in a multicultural environment, using a range of different communication channels for internal campaigns. Online communications (intranet, internal social media, polls, email) form the bedrock, which is enriched by live events, debates, podcasts, videos, print, screens and merchandising. The workforce’s pride in belonging to ESA is the team’s strongest asset. Our biggest challenge is cutting through the noise of information-overload with innovation.
