Press Officer 75% for the Department of Discourse and Communication (m/f/d)

The Zeppelin Museum The Zeppelin Museum is an interdisciplinary museum that combines two collections: it houses, on the one hand, the world's largest collection on the history of air navigation and is considered the centre of expertise. On the other hand, it houses a collection of more than 4,000 works, which was rebuilt after the Second World War with a regional focus and has since been strategically expanded. The history of both collections explores, reflects and conveys the museum critically in its work. In interdisciplinary projects, the museum also connects the collections with current socially relevant questions that experienced broad international appreciation. The Zeppelin Museum has also developed international reputations in the areas of digitality and sustainability. Discourse & Communication Department – DisKo The Discourse & Communication department is responsible for the further development and implementation of the press, marketing and communication strategies (analogous and digital). The expansion of the brand as a progressive institution and its positioning through targeted campaigns form one of the core tasks of the department, which is implemented with particular attention to a target group-oriented, diverse and inclusive approach for all groups of persons. The DisKo department pursues a deciduously inclusive approach that derives directly from the ICOM museum definition.
