ESO is looking for a Media Officer Chile to develop and implement ESO's media strategy in Chile, coordinating relations with national, regional, and local media.

The role also includes managing contracted services to document the progress of ESO's projects in videos and photos and organizing visits of media and strategic stakeholders to ESO's observatories.The Officer will produce local content, support crisis communication actions, and develop new formats and resources to effectively reach Chilean audiences.

The Media Officer Chile will join ESO's Department of Communication (COMM), which is responsible for internal and external communication for the Organisation. We provide information about ESO's activities, with the mission of increasing the awareness of ESO, astronomy and the impact of the organisation on society in its Member States and Chile. We cover the whole spectrum of communications, including media relations, content production, public and local outreach, digital communication and internal communication, and engage with a broad range of audiences ranging from scientists and the astronomy community over decision-takers and industry partners, to journalists and members of the public. The Department comprises 20 staff with a spectrum of complementary expertise ranging from astronomy, writing, image processing, video production, publishing, web production and design to event organisation.

COMM is based partly at the ESO Headquarters in Garching near Munich, Germany, and partly in Santiago, Chile. We are an international, friendly and motivated team with ties to scientists and professionals throughout ESO and to the broader science communication community.

The duty station is Santiago. Applicants should be resident in Chile, in or around Santiago. The role also involves frequent travels to ESO's observing sites in northern Chile.
