What?

Clear Europe is a Brussels-based communication agency that specialises in media and journalism training, copywriting and strategic communication advice.

We are looking for a business and marketing intern to help promote our services both online and off. You will also be expected to update the website and social media accounts, do some basic bookkeeping and attend events and conferences in Brussels.

The position is unpaid and therefore only suitable for university students as a ‘convention de stage’ for academic credit. However, we can pay a small daily allowance for travel and meals.

Students would be expected to work a minimum of three days a week for at least three months.
