At Portbase, we work every day on the smartest and most efficient ports in Europe. With our Port Community System (PCS), we connect thousands of organizations in the port logistics chain. Behind this digital service provision stands an organization with engaged colleagues, a strong brand identity, and a growing community.

For our Marketing & Communications team, we are looking for an enthusiastic and eager-to-learn colleague who wants to further develop themselves within the communications profession. Are you organizationally strong, creative with content, and do you get energy from supporting and organizing communication projects? Then we would love to meet you!

As a Junior Communications Specialist, you will work on the development and execution of communication activities that contribute to a strong brand experience and visibility for Portbase. You will be part of a team of twelve marketing and communications professionals and will be an important link in various projects. From internal communication and employee engagement to content, campaigns, and brand activation. You will get plenty of opportunities to gain broad experience and further develop yourself within the profession.

One day you might organize an internal event, the next day you work on content for our social media channels, support a brand identity implementation, or help develop communication tools. In doing so, you will use various tools for content creation and social media, for example, for designing visuals and editing video. From a concrete set of communication tasks, you will get plenty of room to further develop yourself within the field.

• You support the organization of internal events, meetings, and campaigns.

• You work on internal communication activities and initiatives that contribute to employee engagement.

• You create and publish content for, among others, the intranet, newsletters, social media, and other communication channels.

• You work with various content and social media tools (such as Canva) to develop attractive communication tools, such as visuals and video.

• You support brand and corporate identity projects and contribute to a consistent application of the corporate identity.

• You coordinate communication materials and coordinate with internal colleagues and external suppliers.

• You work on the execution of marketing and communication campaigns.

• You contribute to content creation, storytelling, and employer branding.

• You identify communication opportunities and actively think along about how we can further improve our communication.

• You help with collecting, analyzing, and making the results of communication activities insightful.

Experience in a similar role is a plus, but certainly not a requirement. You also do not need to have experience with all the tools yet. We find your enthusiasm, creativity, eagerness to learn, and drive to develop yourself more important.
