[Vacature] Head of Marketing and Communications

HiiL is looking for a Head of Marketing and Communications, reporting to the CEO, with the potential to become a member of the Management Team. You are an energetic self-starter who wonders why courts and legal professionals still work with procedures that are complex, bureaucratic and expensive to use. You identify with our mission of addressing the need for improved access to justice through better, innovative procedures. You are going to inspire and encourage justice sector leaders at courts, in the legal services industry and at ministries of justice to take ownership for a new generation of procedures. Through effective communications and marketing, you will show stakeholders how they can adopt procedures that are much better suited to people’s needs.

You will
• Contribute to moving the organisation forward by translating our ambitious goals into clear and measurable results and effective management that gets results.
• Develop and lead on the implementation of the marketing and communications strategy, focused on how innovative procedures can improve lives and the added value delivered by legal professionals.
• Lead the Communications Team and be ultimately responsible for content strategy and implementation: branding; storytelling; inspirational content for social media, web and traditional media as well as video and blogs; PR activities and campaigns; website management; and stakeholder relationships: community building, managing key relationships and liaise with relevant internal and external stakeholders.
• Develop relevant relations at national and international levels.

Your profile
• High flyer: You made an impressive career in an organisation that is a leader in its field, such as a major company, a successful start-up, a consultancy, a major NGO or a government agency.
• Entrepreneur at heart: You succeeded in scaling up your organisation or department from a start-up phase to a major player, managing the fast growth of delicate operations.
• Servant leader and facilitative team player: You work and think in teams. You welcome feedback and use that to learn, improve, and get better. People that work at HiiL are what Eric Schmidt calls ‘smart creatives’. They need to be supported. Our projects are always interactive, co-creating with client-organisations.
• Drive to make justice work for as many citizens of the world as possible: You have learned to question how things have always been done in the justice sector. You are willing to bring changes, know how to do that without alienating and leaving essential stakeholders behind, and are passionate about delivering results.
• Excellent marketer and communicator: You write well, you speak well, and you can help develop strategies to communicate our at times complex services in an understandable language to our diverse target audiences.
• Data user: Our approach to justice and innovation is user-centric (citizens and their organisations at the core) and evidence based, so we assume you know how to work with data to improve things.
• Networker: You have excellent networks that you can immediately activate to develop HiiL further.
• You complement us: Communication and marketing, visualisation of services, experience in business development, networks in Asia, networks in business, and another world language besides English and French. The Management Team now consists of two men. Having said that, ‘the best’ counts above everything else.
