Full-time limited to 1 year with an option for permanent employment

TU Wien is Austria’s largest institution of research and higher education in the fields of technology and natural sciences. With over 26,000 students and more than 4000 scientists, research, teaching, and learning dedicated to the advancement of science and technology have been conducted here for more than 200 years, guided by the motto "Technology for People". As a driver of innovation, TU Wien fosters close collaboration with business and industry and contributes to the prosperity of society.

The Communications department of the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien is offering a position as Event and Communication Expert (all genders) for 40 hours/week. This position is limited to 1 year with an option for permanent employment if it proves to be an excellent mutual fit. Expected Start: September 2025

Tasks:

Your position is central to how our team operates and critical to fulfilling our department’s responsibilities within the faculty and university. You’ll be the linchpin connecting our events, outreach activities, and internal communications, ensuring quality, clarity, and consistency in everything we do.

Events (Recurring & Special)

• Lead event planning and execution from bright ideas to flawless execution
• Coordinate all involved parties and handle logistics, including scheduling, venue selection, catering, and technical arrangements, ensuring that no detail is left behind

Outreach & Communication

• Maintain a big-picture perspective, and align our communication and outreach strategies with faculty priorities and broader university initiatives
• Strategically engage stakeholders in research, industry, politics, and among our students and alumni, maintain contact databases, and manage invitation and registration workflows

Tracking & Coordination

• Monitor and analyze decentralized activities in your area, across the faculty and university- wide, to identify collaboration opportunities and synergies
• Coordinate effectively with our research units and partners, ensuring clear visibility of our outreach activities and events across the board

Team Collaboration & Development

• Within your area, act as the go-to liaison for faculty members, proactively offering solutions and fostering connections within and beyond the faculty
• Collaborate closely with the team to refine processes and occasionally take the lead on special projects
• Guide and support student staff, helping them grow professionally

Daily Operations

• Step into various roles as needed, especially when new initiatives and opportunities arise
• Occasionally lend a hand with our routine PR and social media tasks

Why This Role Matters
We’re a small but integral team within a large, dynamic, and international faculty. Structurally, Communications is a Specialized Department ("Stabsstelle") reporting directly to the Dean of Informatics. Your contributions will be recognized and valued, and are essential to our shared success. Your role significantly shapes how our faculty is perceived and substantially boosts our ability to engage meaningfully with our diverse stakeholders.

Your profile:

• Professional Expertise: You have several years of relevant professional experience. While event management or familiarity with a university context is defiantly a plus, we’re not looking for junior or support staff--we’re looking for a seasoned Expert Generalist: someone who brings expertise, curiosity, and initiative and who enjoys learning new skills and taking ownership within a collaborative team
• Communications Skills: You’re perfectly at ease writing and speaking in both German and English. German is currently our primary team language, but English is the official language across our diverse faculty, with members from over 55 nation; expect many interesting conversations
• Organizational Talent: You naturally create order and clarity in dynamic environments and enjoy refining existing processes or building new ones
• Comfort with Ambiguity: Uncertainty doesn’t faze you. You can keep multiple projects moving forward simultaneously without sacrificing quality
• Independence & Collaboration: You can drive projects solo but are equally comfortable collaborating closely with others
• Proactive Problem-Solving: You identify gaps before they become issues and proactively find effective solutions
• Working Style: You’re serious about quality output but appreciate working in a relaxed, approachable atmosphere (humor encouraged!)

We offer:

TU Wien is among Europe’s most prestigious technical universities, with its Faculty of Informatics consistently ranking first in Austria and in the Top 25 across Europe. We offer an engaging work environment characterized by international flair, innovation, and professional excellence. You’ll join a team where your contributions are visible, impactful, and deeply appreciated, with a high degree of personal responsibility and freedom to initiate your own projects.

Although this position begins with a one-year term, we fully intend for it to become permanent if mutually beneficial. Expect a long-term career filled with development opportunities, valued commitment, and active support for your professional growth.

This role is primarily on-site at our offices on Erzherzog-Johann-Platz in Vienna’s 4th district--just a 5-minute walk from Karlsplatz and Taubstummengasse stations. We also offer flexible working hours and remote work options. Additionally, TU Wien provides attractive fringe benefits to all employees; learn more at fringe benefits.
