Communications advisor with a flair for sound, text, and wicked
INVI – Institute for wicked – is looking for a strong communicator who can bring complex topics to life in audio, text, and social media. You will be the driving force behind our KOMPAS podcast and a key figure in communicating INVI's projects and analyses.
INVI is a think tank that develops new solutions to the most complex challenges of our time. We work across sectors and systems—from climate crisis and employee dissatisfaction to responsible AI and future welfare—and build bridges between research, politics, and practice.
In recent years, INVI has grown from one idea and one person to an interdisciplinary team of 22 - from data scientists and designers to journalists, engineers and political scientists. We've grown out of our first office and up through three floors of Den Gule Gård - and with us has come a portfolio of projects, partnerships and methodologies that provide new answers to society's most intractable problems.
That is why we would like to strengthen our communications team with a highly skilled communicator who can think strategically and produce content independently – and who thrives in an environment where pace, trust, and professionalism go hand in hand.
Does this sound like you? Then read on.
YOUR ROLE
As a communications advisor, you will play a key role in our communications work across multiple disciplines.
You will work closely with INVI's communications team to implement our strategy, support INVI's director, and play a special role in strengthening our spokespersons in the public debate.
You will, among other things:
Be responsible for production of INVI's podcast KOMPAS – You will collaborate with an editor and producer, and your responsibilities will include planning, recording, editing, and publishing.
Ensure INVI's impact on social media, including through audio clips, quotes, and video clips from the podcast that capture and retain our target audiences.
Spotlight and share the compelling stories from INVI's projects, analyses, and partnerships—bringing them to life in the media, networks, and politics.
Write and edit newsletters for our 4,500+ subscribers and produce content for social media for our 29,000+ followers – including video.
Further develop our spokesperson setup with ideas for formats, concepts, and training that bring more voices into play.
Contribute to developing our website INVI.nu and ensure a sharp interplay between content, design, and tone.
In short: You are both a producer and an advisor – and you are motivated by translating knowledge into communication that makes a difference in the public discourse.
YOUR TEAM
You'll be part of INVI's communication team, working closely together across projects and formats - from press and public affairs to the KOMPAS podcast and our digital channels.
The team consists of a senior communications advisor, a podcast editorial team, and our star-studded team of interns and students, and we work closely with the rest of INVI—from analysts and project managers to designers and management.
In a nutshell: The team is small, but the communication muscles are big. The path from idea to impact is short - and everyone contributes to our success.
You will also work closely with Director Sigge Winther Nielsen and report to Head of Secretariat Janne Bram Hemphrey.
YOUR PROFILE
You are an ambitious team player with a keen interest in politics and society. You can translate complex agendas into meaningful communication—without trivializing them.
We imagine that you:
Have 3-5 years of experience as a communications advisor – preferably from a politically led organization, think tank, or ministry.
Well-versed in audio, image, and video, and able to both turn knobs and write sharp copy that works on the terms of the social media system.
Has a good sense of tone of voice and can adapt content for many different channels.
Can plan and execute cross-channel communication - and isn't afraid of the grunt work when it needs to be done right.
Can think strategically, but thrives in a work environment where plans are quickly put into action—and where both the big picture and the details matter.
You are structured, curious, and academically courageous —and happy to share your knowledge with others in an organization where everyone helps everyone else.
OUR LIFTING
A flexible and inspiring workplace with high ceilings and a team of colleagues who are each among the best in their field.
A strong social community with Friday bars and community events
A work culture where we share mistakes and victories and motivate each other to take chances and raise the bar for what is possible.
A job that makes a difference in society.
In a nutshell: You get to use your expertise where it makes a difference - and with colleagues who are passionate about the same thing.

ABOUT INVI
Do you feel that politicians formulate lots of plans and projects, but change often fails to happen? You're far from alone in that feeling. A lot can be solved with existing tools, but if we are to be more successful in tackling complex problems, new data-driven approaches are urgently needed. This is where INVI comes in.
We customize the new toolbox for today's wicked social problems. These are problems that transcend borders and are stubborn. Just think of climate change, unhappiness or the lack of hands in the labor market. They are all wicked problems, and they often require new approaches. At the Think Tank, we work closely with ministries, municipalities, foundations and civil society to tackle the root of wicked problems - with tools we develop in collaboration with the best researchers and data scientists.
INVI's new Model for wicked Problems is one main vein in our approach to problem solving, but we're also developing a wide range of other tools to connect the front door and back door of democracy.
INVI is a think tank with an entrepreneurial spirit and high ambitions. In a short time, we have created a strong platform for change and innovation with support from foundations, public actors and civil society. We are located in The Yellow Farm in the heart of Copenhagen - a dynamic environment where collaboration and creativity are in focus.
