Background:
The European Network for Women in Leadership (WIL Europe) is a Europe-wide nonprofit organisation dedicated to the promotion and advancement of the professional and social interests of women in leadership positions and aspiring female leaders from different sectors across Europe.
Our mission is to connect, inspire and empower women to lead the way, by providing a space where they can meet and exchange, network, grow, and identify opportunities and ideas that are not readily available in their current social and professional environments.
Our activities are focused on international, local and online events, including with key political and business leaders; peer-to-peer networking; and our Women Talent Pool leadership programme for emerging female leaders.
One of the important ways in which we achieve our mission is by communicating what we do, with and for whom, to the outside world via our communications channels (website, monthly newsletter and social media channels). This is an area which we are committed to developing in the months to come with the help of our Intern.

As Communications Intern, you will be responsible for increasing the visibility of our organisation, and that of both our Members and Talents in our Women Talent Pool (WTP) leadership programme.

• Interviews – organising, conducting and editing interviews with our Members and WTP Talents, including liaising with our team of volunteers
• Media monitoring – monitoring on relevant issues for the WIL network (female leadership, corporate social responsibility, digital transition, etc…)
• Communications strategy – contributing ideas to WIL’s overall communications strategy, including design ideas, website development and social media content, so that we can increase our visibility and have greater impact.
• Events support – assisting with the organisation of WIL events, including developing communications and outreach strategies; preparing reports and thank you emails.
