We are optimists! We believe in the problem-solving capabilities of designers and offer them opportunities, support, publicity and a platform. By showing how designers worldwide are shaping a positive future, we strengthen their position and significance far beyond the Netherlands. We do this by organising Dutch Design Week (DDW), World Design Embassies (WDE), Dutch Design Awards (DDA) and What if Lab (WiL). Our organisation, Dutch Design Foundation (DDF), is a non-profit foundation with a two-member board of directors and a supervisory board.

As our new Social Media Marketeer, you will mainly work for Dutch Design Week and Dutch Design Awards. Both labels build-up towards October each year, when the nine-day DDW takes place in Eindhoven. To expand our permanent team, we are looking for a Social Media Marketeer. Start date: 1 May 2021, earlier if possible.

As Social Media Marketeer you are completely comfortable in the digital landscape and you know exactly how to maintain and expand an online community. You will manage the social channels of DDW and DDA daily and think about ways to increase the reach and engagement of these channels. Through both organic and paid posts, you guide relevant traffic to our websites. Besides, you think along about the social strategies of DDW and DDA and joint social campaigns with partners. The Social Media Marketeer is part of the Marketing team and works closely with the Digital Marketing Manager on the one hand and the Manager Content Development on the other.
