European Alternatives is increasingly involved in running European campaigns – from media pluralism to basic income, from migrant rights to financial transaction tax.

For this reason we are currently hiring an experienced head of campaigning and participation. The position includes:

- Building strong transnational support-networks around our campaigns, engaging NGOs, civil society groups, institutional representatives, and social movements from a large number of European countries
- Engaging our members and supporters, and developing a clear strategy for them and our local groups to participate in campaigning
- Developing elements of fundraising for the campaigns
The ideal candidate wil:
- Show commitment to European Alternatives values and mission
- Show previous experience in campaigning or political work
- Be willing to travel regularly and extensively, including on weekends
- Be a natural communicator and mediator, able to bring together a plurality of actors around common objectives
- Have a capacity to relate to and liaison with different levels, from the institutional to the grassroots
- Have native-level English proficiency, with additional languages an advantage
The position can be full-time or part-time
Salary: circa €24,000 – €28,000pa (or pro-rata equivalent for part-time)
Based in: Rome or Paris
Starting: April 1st
