Press Spokesperson (Volunteer) - 100% Remote - 100% Flexibility

Overview

The German Aid Association e.V. is currently in the founding phase. We are creating a nationwide structure with strategic orientation, economic substance, and community-oriented impact. At the center of this development phase is the federal chairman, who leads the association content-wise, structurally, and politically.

We are looking for a committed, profile-driven individual as Press Spokesperson (m/f/d) in a voluntary capacity, who will represent our positions externally, build journalistic contacts, and enable media presence.

Important: This position is voluntary, not subject to social security contributions. It is directly subordinate to the entire federal board and is understood as a staff function that communicatively supports and represents all members of the board. The selection is deliberately selective, as we expect a high identification with the goals, values, and language of the German Aid Association.
