Join Our Team!

We're hiring - Communication Director

Location: Brussels Full-time ️ Apply by: 14 April 2025

Join GIRP at a defining moment of transformation.

GIRP, the European Healthcare Distribution Association, represents full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers across 34 countries in Europe. We ensure that patients have access to vital medications-but we often remain invisible in the process. We're changing that, and we're looking for a Communication Director to lead the way.

This is an opportunity to shape how our voice is heard-by the public, by policymakers, and across healthcare systems in Europe.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the association's communications efforts, reporting directly to the Director-General, with a small team and budget for external communication services.
• Rebrand the association.
• Develop a new external communications strategy.
• Overhaul internal communication with members.
• Collaborate with our public affairs team to deliver on policy priorities set by the association's board.
• Work with our events team to ensure our events drive the messages and priorities we want to be known for.
• Assist the Director General and President with their public engagements when necessary.
• Manage our external communications platforms (websites, social media, etc.), including allocated budget.
• Handle relations with media outlets.
• Oversee communication service providers, including allocated budget.
• Manage internal communication platforms (intranet, app, mail services, etc.).
• Design and manage dedicated campaigns.
• Responsible for design, visual identity, and assets in this area.

Core Qualifications Required:

• 5-7 years of experience in political and/or organisational communication.
• Degree in communication or related fields.
• Fluent in English (other European languages are an asset).
• Experience working with external service providers or in communications consultancy.
• Ability to develop and execute communication strategies.
• Attention to detail and accuracy in both language and visual presentation.
• Proficiency in MS Office, InDesign, Canva, and/or other relevant software.

Why Join Us?

• You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of healthcare distribution in Europe.
• You'll be part of a dynamic team during a pivotal moment of transformation.
• You'll work alongside passionate professionals who are committed to making a difference.
• GIRP is an equal opportunity employer, committed to diversity and inclusion.
• We promote a safe, respectful, and healthy work environment.
• We actively support the physical and mental well-being of everyone on our team.

If you're ready to lead impactful communication and make the invisible visible - join us.
