- help to produce audiovisual materials such as photos, videos, podcasts and live broadcasts;
- present innovative and creative proposals that will improve the ECB's visual communications.

The position offers you excellent opportunities to work in a dynamic environment and gain experience across a broad range of communications topics.

Your activities will range from office-based support tasks to on-site production, providing opportunities for hands-on experience in the multimedia profession.

You will be part of a multicultural team that strives for continuous innovation to make a positive impact on the lives of European citizens.

You are curious and eager to learn, and want to further develop your ability to analyse complex information.
