More about the role:

Burson Brussels is looking for an enthusiastic, collaborative and commercially minded communications professional with a passion for corporate communications, brand, public affairs and reputation.

This role is ideal for someone with a strong understanding of the Belgian ecosystem and a keen interest in politics, policy and decision-making at both federal and regional levels. You will join an integrated team of advocacy and communications specialists, supporting a diverse portfolio of high-profile clients across the Belgian market.

As part of our Brussels team, you will play a key role in developing and delivering innovative, integrated corporate communications and public affairs strategies. You will lead account teams, advise clients on complex issues, and help shape campaigns that respond to some of the most pressing economic, social, political and sustainability challenges facing businesses and institutions today.

This is an opportunity to work in a highly dynamic, international and intellectually stimulating environment, partnering with leading corporations and institutions on work that has real impact.

We are looking for someone who is ready to go the extra mile for clients and colleagues, is comfortable managing multiple projects at pace, and enjoys working as part of an international, collaborative team.
