LOBBYIST - FEDEMAC | Brussels

Founded in 1959 FEDEMAC's main function is to express the concerns and needs of the moving industry on a European level and to co-ordinate National activities that have a European impact. Much of this work is centred on lobbying at the EU Parliament and Commission as well as liaising with National Associations and other trade organisations. Today FEDEMAC represents the interests of around 4,000 professional moving companies in 27 European countries.

Due to the retirement of the present incumbent FEDEMAC is looking to recruit a Lobbyist whose prime areas of responsibilities will be:

•  Liaising with European Commission, Parliament and other bodies as appropriate.
•  Ensuring the name of FEDEMAC is known and respected and becomes the first point of contact for all related matters affecting removers and furniture transport companies in the “corridors of power”
•  FEDEMAC PR
•  Liaising with stakeholder Federations and Associations
•  Monitoring, analysing, identifying, prioritising, advising and reporting on matters that may impact the industry as well as taking appropriate action after discussions with the FEDEMAC Board

Although knowledge of the removals industry is not mandatory it is desirable. The ideal candidate will be located within easy access of Brussels and will have the personal gravitas and credibility to be able to successfully represent FEDEMAC at all levels of European government and administration. Excellent spoken and written English is a prerequisite; a second European language would be beneficial.

Interested candidates should send their c.v. and a covering letter explaining why they are the ideal person for the role, together with remuneration expectations to Ellen Troska, by email only to: headquarters@fedemac.eu no later than 30th April 2013. 1st interviews will take place in Brussels on 7th and 8th May 2013. Candidates should be available to take up this role no later than 1st October 2013.
