Strategic and well-written PR and marketing professional for the Odense International Film Festival

Strategic and well-written PR and marketing professional for Odense International Film Festival

30 hours – fixed-term position

Can you communicate in a way that filmic stories spark curiosity and invite more? And can you ensure synergy between marketing, communications and social media? Then you might be a strong candidate for the role of our new colleague.

With two film festivals a year, Odense International Film Festival never stands still, and the same goes for our PR and marketing efforts, which you will now lead. We are looking for a colleague for the fixed-term position as PR and marketing officer. A role where you have responsibility for the strategic overview, but just as much you should also express your creative storytelling skills on social media, in newsletters, various ads and other platforms.

As our new colleague you should be ready to go in at once, as our feature film festival OFFSpring is already underway at the end of February 2027. In addition, we are already working towards the short film festival OFF in week 35 of 2027. We are two festivals with one common DNA. And now there is a position available at the “The OFFice” for you, who are passionate about telling stories about everything film can be. And it’s actually not a small thing if you ask us.

A role for you who think strategically – and love living stories

We are looking for a versatile communicator who can both set course, set sail and safely bring the boat to harbor.

You work in a structured way with long-term marketing and communications plans, but you also thrive equally in spotting and conveying the small moments from the festivals’ everyday life that deserve to be shared: the meeting between a newly graduated director and her audience, a volunteer who has had OFF’s logo tattooed on their leg, or a kindergarten group’s first encounter with the magic of short film.

You have a strong sense of aesthetics, storytelling, target audiences and tone of voice – and you can create content that makes people stop, listen, click and return.

We offer a colorful workplace with room for both development and expression, but also with a strong focus on professionalism and execution, so the festivals stand razor-sharp in all respects. We are an exciting and challenging workplace where you can become a central part of a dynamic team that works hard and has fun at the same time. You are involved in making decisions and have a strong opportunity to use your professional skills and make your mark on the film festivals.

You will among other things be working with

• Development and execution of PR, marketing and communications strategies for the film festivals OFF and OFFSpring
• Planning and production of well-written and visually oriented content for social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), website and newsletters in collaboration with the festival’s program managers and graphic designer
• Booking of and follow-up on advertisements and other marketing
• Collaboration with the management’s central communications department on PR work, press releases and contact with media – both local, national and media that specifically cover film.
• Editing and maintenance of websites in WordPress
• Collection of data and evaluation of marketing and communications efforts

Who are you?

We would like you to have

• Experience from marketing, PR, communications or similar.
• A sharp pen and the ability to write vividly, precisely and with audience awareness. If you also are handy at taking photos and making video, that is a huge plus.
• Can both lay out the strategic lines and produce the sub-elements of the marketing and communications plan yourself.
• Ability to create coherent stories across platforms.
• Has experience from or is curious about the culture and film field.
• Has knowledge of what it is like to work in a politically governed organization (not a requirement, but an advantage).
