Ideally you would have over 6 years experience working with EU decision-makers and managing policy issues, either for a company, a third party, or in government.
Fluency in English (oral and written) is essential, and fluency in another European language a strong asset.
Experience in the fields of mobility, the digital economy, sustainability and future of work legislation is an advantage
