Communicator at ABF

ABF is Sweden's leading study association and a force for change. We work to create a more equal and inclusive society, where more people have the opportunity to grow through education, culture, and community. Our roots are in the labor movement, and we believe in the power of popular education, strengthening democracy, and giving more people a voice.

With us, curiosity and development are at the center – both for those we reach through our activities and for you who become a part of ABF.

Are you an experienced, engaged, and creative communicator with a passion for popular education and social impact?

ABF, Sweden's largest study association, is now looking for a communicator for our headquarters in Stockholm. We are politically independent, but our values align with those of the labor movement, and our work aims to increase equality, democracy, and participation. We believe in learning, education, and the power of community.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a communicator with us, you will be part of the communication group in the operations department, where you, together with colleagues, plan and implement communication efforts to highlight ABF's activities and values.

Your assignment includes internal and external communication, primarily press releases and other proactive press work, opinion materials, and crisis communication. You will also be responsible for monitoring your area and contributing to strategic initiatives, for example, ahead of election years and major fairs. Within the role, you will also produce various types of content tailored for different target groups and channels, including text, images, and video, as well as texts for web and social media.

The role involves close collaboration with colleagues within the department, with the headquarters at large, and with ABF's districts and member organizations.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is self-driven, analytical, and communicative, with the ability to express yourself well in Swedish and English.
