Are you an experienced communicator passionate about sustainability? We're looking for a European Communications Manager to join our global team at Proforest! This is an exciting role where you’ll help shape and implement communications strategies around sustainable agriculture and agri-food systems.
About Proforest
At Proforest, we’re on a mission to support the sustainable sourcing and production of agricultural commodities. With 25 years of experience, we work across Europe, Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia with governments, businesses, and NGOs to drive positive change. Our clients include top brands like Unilever, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and Mars, as well as major agricultural traders.
What You'll Do
1. Develop and implement communications strategies for Proforest Europe.
2. Support collaboration between technical teams and clients to communicate effectively with key players in the private sector.
3. Shape media outreach, targeting sustainability, policy, and agri-food systems.
4. Coordinate European events, creating opportunities for technical teams to speak on topics like EU regulations.
5. Build relationships and enhance communications with stakeholders, media, and key policy makers.
About You

* Strong project management skills, both locally and globally.
* Excellent writing skills for clear and concise communication.
* Proven experience in media relations, especially within the sustainability and agri-food sectors.
* Familiarity with communications strategy in a technical context.
* Experience working in an international environment.
* Knowledge of EU policy-making processes.

Why Proforest?
* Generous benefits: 25 days holiday + public holidays, pension contributions, life & income protection insurance.
* Learning & development support to help you grow.
* Regular team events and opportunities to connect with colleagues from around the world.
* Hybrid working: We value collaboration but understand the need for flexibility; this role does require a minimum of 2-3 days per week in the office, and we expect more attendance during the onboarding period. Unfortunately, due to our central location (walkable from the train station and bus stops), there is no parking available.
