CEO is looking for a Digital Engagement Officer
Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) is a research and campaign group working to expose and challenge the privileged access and influence enjoyed by corporations and their lobby groups in EU policy making.
We are a team of 12 people, with about half based in Brussels. To support our expanding communications team we are looking for a full time Digital Engagement Officer to join us in working from our Brussels office, ideally from September 2021.
Tasks
As Digital Engagement Officer you will be responsible for CEO’s digital strategy by working with colleagues to enlarge CEO’s supporter base, engaging supporters more deeply with our campaigning work, help amplify CEO’s messages, and strengthening CEO’s online fundraising.
With your experience in digital communications and campaigning, you will help the organisation improve its use of web-based tools for campaigning and fundraising, optimise our website and use of databases, and enhance the use of analytics in our work. For the more technical aspects of these tasks, you may coordinate external contractors to assist with implementation of solutions.
Your main tasks will be to:
develop and help implement an online communications and engagement strategy in a way that optimises CEO’s ‘supporter journey’ - creating and building an online relationship;
assist our campaigners with choosing and implementing tools for engaging supporters to encourage them to take action (for example sign a petition, share our message, take part in a campaign, donate to CEO);
improve CEO’s online fundraising as part of an upgraded overall supporters’ engagement strategy, in close cooperation with CEO’s fundraising working group. This will include developing donations tools, analysing what works and what doesn’t, producing regular donations calls, etc.;
ensure that our website is up-to-date, attractive and engaging, supported by a solid and secure technical foundation;
use detailed but privacy minded analytics (eg Matomo) to inform and improve our digital strategy (creating and monitoring targets);
improve and manage our CRM and databases and help CEO use these more strategically in our work;
help improve CEO’s social media to increase supporters’ engagement.
