Events and Communications Manager

About CLEPA
We are the European Association of Automotive Suppliers, representing the voice of an innovative industry driving safe, smart, and sustainable mobility across Europe.

The Position
We are seeking a highly motivated Events and Communications Manager. While strong execution is key, we are looking for a strategic thinker who goes further, acting as a visionary who leverages events and communications as powerful advocacy tools to amplify CLEPA’s voice in the European Union.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and drive a comms and events strategy that directly advances CLEPA’s EU policy and advocacy objectives.
• Actively scout external conferences and panels, pitching CLEPA leadership for high-level speaking slots.
• Conceptualize and oversee major CLEPA events (e.g., Innovation Awards). You focus on the why (policy ROI, audience) while overseeing teams/agencies for the how (logistics).
• Adapt complex EU mobility policy into compelling, accessible messaging for diverse stakeholders.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum 3-5 years in high-level event management and communications.
• Strong familiarity with the EU policy environment, institutions, and the Brussels public affairs landscape.
• You are a “go-getter” who looks beyond logistics. You don’t wait for invitations; you create opportunities and shape the narrative.
• Exceptional English communication skills (written and spoken) with proven ability to manage budgets and cross-functional projects.
• Hands-on experience with CMS/web management platforms, email marketing software (for newsletters and blasts), and event management platforms.
• Strong graphic design skills with proficiency in tools like Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator) or Canva, coupled with an excellent eye for visual branding.

What CLEPA Offers

• A highly visible role shaping the future of European mobility, within a dynamic team and competitive compensation package.
• The opportunity to build solid experience at the interface between industry and policy.
• Excellent prospects for medium to long-term career development.
• Hybrid working conditions and an inclusive, collaborative work environment.
