Information about the position

Job description, responsibilities and duties

Shape the information to shape the European audiovisual sector.

Based in Strasbourg, France, the Council of Europe brings together the resources of 47 member countries to advance democratic principles based on the European Convention on Human Rights. Reporting to the Executive Director of the European Audiovisual Observatory, you will take ownership of the Department for Information on Markets and Financing – giving you extensive responsibility and a very high profile.

Supported by five analysts and one assistant, you will organise and process large volumes of complex, time-sensitive information to the highest standards of efficiency. Equally importantly, you will have significant input into budgeting and setting strategies, provide wide-ranging economic advice to your colleagues, and develop innovative new products and services for your department. You will also shape publications and reports on the audiovisual market, with particular responsibility for editing the Observatory’s Yearbook and website, so your creative flair and communication skills are as important as your organisational abilities.

Applications should be made in English or French using the Council of Europe online application system at www.coe.int/jobs before the deadline of 27 October 2014.

This will have given you deep knowledge of policy and finance issues for the European audiovisual sector, a highly analytical mindset and the confidence to represent the Observatory at institutional and professional events. Finally, you should be exceptionally computer literate, skilled in managing teams and fluent in both English and French; some command of German or another European language would be useful, as would a history of scientific publications.
