FCC Campaign Manager (SR-ECO-2026-220-LD)

Introduction CERN is preparing the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project for potential approval by the CERN Council in 2028/29. The importance and the size of the FCC project require a communication campaign from a local to an international scale, engaging CERN’s neighbouring population, the wider public, the broader scientific community, and decision makers. CERN is therefore seeking an experienced senior professional to lead the FCC communication campaign, implement a communication and engagement strategy, and coordinate the creation of content and its delivery to the various stakeholders. The role will comprise strategic thinking, strong leadership as well as excellent delivery skills. Functions - Be responsible for implementing a comprehensive communication and engagement strategy. - Lead campaign planning and execution, manage messaging across channels, and ensure clear, consistent, and impactful communications for diverse audiences. - Coordinate content and product development, working closely with the FCC Project Office and technical teams and, interfaces with external stakeholders, as well as with writers, multimedia producers and the media and digital team. - Develop key messages, narratives and content for internal and external audiences. - Manage relationships with senior project leaders and diverse stakeholders. - Anticipate and manage reputational risks and issues. - Support local and public events related to the FCC project. - Monitor, evaluate, and report on campaign performance. - Manage potential contracts with external companies, lead and support communication staff and consultants as required. At CERN , the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter - fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature.
