CMCC Position cod. 12850
Institutional Relations Coordinator
Deadline: November 2nd, 2026
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Do you know how institutional decisions take shape — in Brussels, in Rome and in the rooms where international organisations set their agendas? Are you equally at ease drafting a briefing note for a high-level meeting in the morning and building a long‑term relationship with a ministry, an EU directorate or an international partner in the afternoon? We are looking for an Institutional Relations Coordinator to join the CMCC Foundation and to work side by side with the Head of the Development Area on institutional relations, external stakeholder management and the full range of the Foundation’s national and international external relations activities. The ideal candidate has solid experience gained in international organisations — preferably European institutions or comparable bodies — a real understanding of how public institutions, research organisations and international networks work,
and the ability to move confidently between strategic thinking and careful day‑to‑day follow‑up. Whether it is preparing leadership’s participation in a high‑level policy event, managing the relationship with a partner institution, turning the technical work of our researchers into language a policymaker can act on, or making sure that a commitment taken in a meeting is actually followed‑up and delivered, your contribution will be key to strengthening CMCC’s institutional positioning. We are looking for a highly organised, reliable and discreet professional, with proficiency in English, strong interpersonal and diplomatic skills, and a genuine interest in climate change as a scientific, policy and societal issue.
