Student Assistant for Internal Communication Team

Are you our new Editorial Assistant?

Are you a communications or journalism student at university or business school with a talent for developing written and visual content? Do you have excellent written and verbal communication skills in English? Could you see yourself in a role where collaborating with colleagues spread around the globe is part of your daily routine? And do you have at least two years of your studies left?

If yes, you could be the new student assistant we’re looking for. Global engineering company and technology supplier GEA has an open position for the right candidate to take on the role of Editorial Assistant in the Global Internal Communications & Corporate Events Team. Your workplace will be at our office in Søborg, Denmark, but since GEA has more than 18,000 employees worldwide, you will be working with colleagues from all over the world.

Responsibilities / Tasks

You must have a flair for finding and writing compelling stories. GEA’s intranet is one of our most important internal communication channels and one of the core tasks of our new Editorial Assistant will be to develop content for it. This could be in the form of articles, videos, voxpops, profile interviews and more. You will contribute to organizing GEA’s employee recognition awards, from the nomination phase to the organization of the awards ceremony.

You will also help the team with routine tasks, such as updating content on the intranet, sending monthly news updates, editing videos, and supporting the team as needed.

Depending on your skills and interests, you will be part of larger projects related to the further development of GEA’s communication strategy to the extent that your studies allow it.

Primary tasks:

• Develop written and visual content for GEA’s internal channels like the global intranet Connect or our social intranet Viva Engage

• Assist the Internal Communications & Corporate Events Team with ad hoc tasks

Your Profile / Qualifications

We expect you to work at our office in Soeborg two days (10-15 hours) per week. We offer flexible working conditions where you’ll plan your own work schedule with your manager. Your study and exams will of course be taken into consideration.
