First and foremost, this means working with the campaigns team, our community and partners to organise and run engaging, visible, impactful campaigning actions in Brussels - with a view to raising awareness and shifting thinking at the EU institutions. Second, the role is about opening doors and facilitating the building of long-term relationships with key actors e.g. MEPs, EC officials and partners. Third, it is about increasing the visibility of WeMove Europe in Brussels circles online and offline.
