[Full-time] Communications Lead at Sovereign Tech Agency

2026-07-09 11:19:01

Location: Berlin, Germany
URL: https://www.sovereign.tech/jobs/communications-lead

Description:

We are looking for an experienced, strategic thinker to lead and develop our communications work.

Who we are

The Sovereign Tech Agency is an organization dedicated to the digital sovereignty of the economy and society. Our mission is to strengthen the foundations of our digital autonomy and secure open digital technologies as the critical infrastructure of the 21st century.

Open digital infrastructure is the backbone of the digital world. It is essential for the flow of information, for government, for business, and for innovation, much like roads and bridges in the physical world. The most effective strategy for building this infrastructure is open source software: it is the bedrock on which our digital society is built – powerful, collaborative, and democratic.

With a commission from the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation, we invest in critical software components, develop programs, and create structures that sustainably strengthen the open source ecosystem, including the people behind the code.

Our work is unique: we are leading the way on how governments engage with open digital infrastructure and laying the groundwork for how modern societies ensure resilience, technological diversity, and public digital services.

Together, we are building Europe’s digital future – open, secure, and sovereign.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a communications lead to contribute to the future growth of the Sovereign Tech Agency.

The Sovereign Tech Agency operates at the intersection of open source technology, digital infrastructure, and policy — in Germany, Europe, and beyond. Our work touches on fundamental questions: who controls the digital infrastructure underpinning AI, cyber resilience, and economic competitiveness? How do we ensure that these foundational technologies remain open, secure, and sustainable?

This position is for someone who understands that communications is not a support function but a strategic lever for shaping technology, innovation, and digital policy. In this role, you will shape how the Sovereign Tech Agency is understood and perceived and ensure our issues are visible, politically relevant, and land effectively with the right audiences. In day-to-day operations, you will turn our content, programs, and strategic initiatives into clear and compelling communications that resonate with policymakers, media, industry, and open source communities. You will help shape key debates on digital infrastructure, open source, technological sovereignty, and public sector digitalization in Germany and throughout Europe.

You are the primary contact for all external communications and will partner closely with the leadership team to shape how the organization is understood and perceived. The role offers significant room to shape things in a growing public interest organization.

Your Tasks

Strategic Positioning & Narrative

You will define the organization’s overall communications direction and ensure our messaging is consistent and resonant across all audiences and contexts.

Developing and sharpening an overarching narrative, grounded in our mission, strategy, and portfolio
Turning complex issues into clear, politically effective messaging
Developing and refining our positioning with political, business, and other societal stakeholders
Ensuring consistent communications across all channels
Preparing leadership for public appearances, talks, and panels — developing the content, messaging, and strategic framing behind briefings, talking points, and presentations

Communications Delivery & Development

You will take responsibility for the day-to-day operations and the longer-term development of our communications work.

Planning and executing communications around announcements, calls, milestones, and the conclusion of cycles and cohorts: for example, UN Open Source Week, the Digital Commons EDIC, as well as the Sovereign Tech Fund, the Sovereign Tech Fellowship, Sovereign Tech Resilience, and Sovereign Tech Standards
Running the Sovereign Tech Agency’s owned channels: website, newsletter, blog, social media, press, and publications
Continuing to develop our website as the central hub for our programs, content, publications, and public presence
Prioritizing and coordinating ongoing communications activities across all channels and workstreams
Building and maintaining a productive communications pipeline: clear formats, repeatable processes, a consistent editorial line
Ensuring key developments and issues are communicated clearly and accessibly within the organization
Leading and developing the communications team

Proactive Communications & Outreach

You will ensure the organization’s key issues get seen — at the right moment, in the right form, by the right people.

Identifying communications opportunities and issues with political or wider relevance for the Sovereign Tech Agency and its leadership
Proactively placing stories and materials with appropriate media outlets
Building and maintaining relationships with journalists, editors, and key voices and networks
Developing communications outputs that generate consistent visibility and resonance

Your Qualities

Professional Qualifications

A university degree (e.g. in communications, marketing, business with a focus on marketing or communications) or equivalent professional experience in a senior role in strategic communications, public affairs, journalism, or a comparable field
Experience in political, public, or regulated environments (e.g. ministries, trade associations, think tanks, foundations, or tech and digital policy)
Experience communicating technical topics, ideally in a technology-driven or digital policy environment
A foundational understanding of open source ecosystems and issues at the intersection of technology, business, and policy — or a demonstrated ability to build that understanding quickly
Adept at conveying complex technical content clearly, precisely, and compellingly to technical and non-technical audiences alike
Experience preparing leadership for public appearances and engagements
Excellent German and English language skills, with demonstrated experience producing publication-ready copy in both languages
Our working language is English — you should be able to express yourself with confidence and precision, including in fast-paced working situations

Personal Qualities

A highly developed strategic mindset and sharp instinct for political and communications dynamics
The ability to prioritize issues and orient work toward impact
A hands-on mentality and willingness to work both conceptually and operationally
Confidence and composure when dealing with media, stakeholders, and internal partners
Discretion and professionalism when handling sensitive topics
A collaborative spirit: you value open exchange, collegial working relationships, and mutual feedback
You’re a team player and enjoy collaborating with coworkers, active and open communication, and both giving and receiving feedback.
You’re organized, self-directed, pragmatic, and proactive, and work effectively with modern collaboration tools

For us, your motivation, attitude, and vision are as important as your resume. Even if you don’t fit all requirements, we welcome your application.

What we offer

Based on experience and qualifications, the annual compensation for this role (at 40 hours per week) is 84,000 to 91,000 Euro aligned with the TVöD-Bund wage agreement for the public sector.
Flexible and remote-friendly work arrangements for all family and life situations, from our office in Berlin-Mitte or in a hybrid model * We have four in-person team meetings in or around Berlin per year; almost all meetings are scheduled during GMT +1 working hours. * Employment under German law; work and residence must be in Germany
30 days of vacation (based on a 5-day work week)

Initial two-year term with the goal of converting subsequently to an open-ended contract
In our small, agile team, your perspective matters: we explicitly welcome you to contribute ideas and suggestions about how we can develop as an organization and to actively participate in shaping our future.

Description:
Commons Caretakers (CCBV) is looking for a technical writer with cryptographic expertise (or a cryptographer that loves to write!).

CCBV and its network of service partners offer specialized not-for-profit expertise to help improve the quality and maturity of free and open source (FOSS) projects. We complement their internal skillset, and allow these efforts to better scale and hopefully become self-sustainable as soon as possible. The services are intended for grantees of the NGI Zero programs and grantees of the wider NGI ecosystem.

We have an active relationship with NLnet foundation and with GÉANT, the pan-European data network for the research and education community. Through our participation in the NGI Zero programmes, we contribute to hundreds of free and libre projects working to establish a more healthy Next Generation Internet ecosystem. There’s a wide variety of digital commons efforts supported within NGI0, ranging from libre hardware and software, open standards, open data and much more. See: projects for an impression.

This is a freelance, part-time role with the amount of work depending on the number of requests for support services. As a technical writer, you will work closely with the project grantees (developers) requesting support. Your contribution to the FOSS community and ecosystem will be invaluable. The projects touch on many different layers of the internet with plenty of innovative ideas and geeky challenges. Below an overview of tasks:

You have a background in cryptography or a deep understanding of cryptographic techniques
Help grantees with their technical writing needs: review, edit, restructure or (re)write (existing) documentation
This could entail readme’s, manpages, technical/architecture documentation, specifications, white papers, etc.
Experience with FOSS tooling and familiarity with the FOSS ecosystem would be great

Depending on cryptographic expertise and skills you could also be tasked to advice grantees on or support with e.g. formal verification. If this is of interest as well, do let us know. Commons Caretakers functions as a liaison between grantees and our service providers. This means we’ll reach out if we have a project in need and connect you with the grantee. The projects receive 16 hours of support by default. More hours can be allocated based on the type of project, its impact and prospective uptake. Note: Grantees of NGI Zero grants cannot apply for this role, unfortunately.
