We’re looking for a Junior Communications Manager with strong organizational and writing skills and a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset. You’ll serve as the operational anchor for BaseCOMMS, taking ownership of daily tasks and project coordination so senior team members can focus on strategic direction. A central part of your role will be to translate our major projects into clear, compelling case studies and multi-channel stories, adapting narratives for different audiences across social, press, and digital platforms. Start date: February 2026.
This is a full-time role based in our Brussels studio (Monday-Friday) for the Base Group, with hybrid flexibility.
Responsibilities
- Editorial & Copywriting: Draft and edit case studies, social media posts, news posts, newsletters, and press materials. Demonstrate strong storytelling skills by tailoring narratives for different audiences and formats (case study vs. social caption vs. press pitch).
- Comms Project Management: Maintain and update the BaseCOMMS editorial calendar, track deadlines and deliverables, and provide regular status updates to leadership.
- Process Stewardship: Own tools, workflows, and content pipelines; streamline how we brief, approve, and publish content.
- Social Media Management: Plan, produce, schedule, and publish content for Instagram and LinkedIn. Manage the content calendar and community engagement.
- Operational Delegation: Take responsibility for the daily execution of comms tasks so senior team members can focus on strategic direction.
- Reporting & Analytics: Track performance (reach, engagement, traffic) and produce quarterly summaries with insights and next steps.
- Website & CMS: Publish case studies, bios, job listings, and news; quality-control metadata and visuals.
- Press & Awards: Build press lists, pitch narratives, track coverage; coordinate award entries and timelines.
- Campaign Coordination: Run small multi-channel campaigns (briefing, timelines, deliverables, QA, wrap-ups).
- Stakeholder Coordination: Ensure smooth communication with designers, strategists, and leadership across studios; coordinate with vendors/freelancers when needed.
- 1-2+ years of experience in communications, PR, marketing, or editorial (internships can count if substantive).
- Native-level English writing and editing; French or Dutch is a plus.
- Strong storytelling and copywriting skills, with the ability to adapt narratives for different audiences and platforms.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage calendars, deadlines, and multiple projects at once.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills with both creatives and non-creatives.
- Proactive, resourceful, and accountable: you anticipate needs and make things happen.
- Proficient with Figma, Keynote, Ludus, and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Comfortable interpreting basic performance metrics from social and web platforms.
Nice to Have

- Basic design or motion skills (Canva/Adobe), or content production (short-form video).
