Do you have a knack for telling stories and writing?

Have you worked for clients on marketing or communication strategies before?

Are you willing to immerse yourself in expert topics and learn how to communicate science in creative, engaging campaigns?

We want to hear from you. We are looking for a new full-time science communicator in Madrid or Barcelona to join our Communication Department. At Scienseed, you won’t be writing content for retail brands or department stores. Instead, you might brainstorm and execute a creative campaign that involves renting out a cinema to promote scientific funding, or you might research and write a guide on how to communicate climate change, or design and implement a strategic plan to communicate the findings and purpose of a biomedical research centre. We are searching for talented, experienced, and motivated communicators who are willing to work in a fast-paced and rewarding environment. We don’t mind whether your previous experience lies in advertising, copywriting, journalism, or marketing — we do mind that you are ready to learn new skills and apply your communication knowledge and resolve to a variety of tasks and subjects.

Required:
- Fluent in English, written and spoken
- Degree or equivalent in journalism, communication, or sciences*
- Previous full-time experience in corporate communication or marketing, ideally related to science or research*
- Native bilingual in Catalan and Spanish

* In case you do not fulfil one of these requirements, but you are highly motivated to work at Scienseed, you may still apply and explain in your cover letter why you think you would be suitable for the position.

Desirable:
- Fluency in other major European languages will be valued. We work on many international projects.
- Knowledge of science and scientific institutions, while not necessary, will be valued.

Company description

We are a cutting-edge creative agency specialised in scientific content. We undertake small projects lasting a couple of weeks to large projects spanning several years. Our work is to design and execute communication strategies that are both creative and scientifically accurate. To this end, we specialise in a wide range of formats, including video, animation, web, graphic design, press, publications, social media strategies, advertising campaigns, communication plan consulting, public engagement activities, apps and games, to name a few. We also provide training workshops for research groups and institutions on science communication and scientific writing.

Job description

You will work mainly on content strategy, creativity and content creation for digital media, sometimes alone, sometimes in small teams. Good time-management and fluid communication is a must. The role also involves a degree of project and account management — you will interact directly with some clients, coordinate deadlines, and ensure the smooth delivery of your projects.

We are a multiformat agency — you will bring your own experience and storytelling skills, but you will also learn new ways to communicate science: copywriting for social media, websites, writing scripts for animation or short films, advertising campaigns, press releases, etc. You may also participate in the design and execution of strategic communication plans for research institutions, companies, and scientific consortia, as well as impact assessment of our communication activities.

The position requires confident writing skills, high levels of creativity, and the ability to work on projects with short-, medium- and long-term goals. We are searching for professionals with a problem-solving ability and the willingness to adapt to the workings of a growing company.

Salary

Within the range of 28,000 – 32,000 € per year (gross), based on experience.
