Job opening: Marketing & Communications Officer

Full time

DNS Belgium manages the .be zone and ensures that more than 1.7 million domain names are accessible safely, securely and reliably every day. This core technical responsibility goes hand in hand with a broader ambition, i.e. helping to create a safe, reliable and sustainable internet for everyone.

Within our Digital Society unit, we give concrete shape to that social mission. For instance, we're a frontrunner in sustainability (we were one of the very first official SDG Ambassadors in Belgium) and create real social impact through initiatives on online safety, fraud prevention, digital inclusion and community building (such as wijzijn.be/cestnous.be).

To make these stories and our impact even more visible, we're looking for a driven Marketing & Communications Officer with broad interests. You combine communications and content with a hands-on approach and contribute to a wide range of initiatives, from internal communication and social media to campaigns and employer branding.

Would you like to use your communication and marketing talent in an organisation that creates social impact? Then let's meet! Send us your CV and letter of motivation.
