Obama, Oprah… They’ve heard of us.
Have you?
SuperNova is more than just another event — it’s an inspiration festival where groundbreaking ideas, powerful stories, and unexpected encounters come together. It's where entrepreneurs, investors, tech pioneers, business leaders, and global icons unite around a shared ambition: building the business of tomorrow.
And that’s not just talk. We've hosted big names such as Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Seth Godin — as well as up-and-coming talent, local founders, and ambitious startups with powerful stories of their own.
Now we’re gearing up for our next edition — and it promises to be bigger, bolder, and more unforgettable than ever. This isn’t your typical job. It’s a front-row seat to the future — with backstage access.
For SuperNova to get bigger and bolder than ever, we’re scaling up our communication team, and we’re looking for a PR & Editorial Lead who knows how to shape stories that stick, build media momentum, and turn press hits into lasting reputation. Someone who’s equal parts writer, planner, and relationship builder — with a nose for news and a flair for finding the right words at the right moment.
Your responsibilities:
You’ll be the driving force behind how the world sees and hears about SuperNova — from media coverage to powerful storytelling.
-
Strategic storytelling: Develop and execute clear, compelling PR and communication strategies that help SuperNova stand out — before, during, and after the event. You'll shape the bigger narrative and translate it into concrete actions.
-
Editorial content creation: Write high-impact press releases, articles, newsletters, and website copy in both Dutch and English. You’ll ensure every piece of content is on-brand, newsworthy, and engaging.
-
Press & partner relations: Manage incoming press requests, accreditation flows, and ongoing contact with media and partners. You’ll act as the go-to person for anything press-related — including contacting them when a correction is necessary.
-
Promotional support: Contribute to the creation of broader marketing and communication assets — from speaker spotlights to brand campaigns — ensuring consistency in tone and message.
-
Cross-channel alignment: Collaborate closely with our Social & Community Lead to align messaging across all touchpoints. You’ll ensure our story is told in one consistent, unified voice.
-
Network building: Build and maintain a solid international network of media contacts, journalists, PR partners, and relevant stakeholders. You’ll know who to call — and they’ll pick up.
-
Team collaboration: Be part of the core communications team, working side-by-side with social, content, and marketing leads. Your input will shape how SuperNova is perceived across the board.
You're a match if you are:
You combine a sharp pen with sharp instincts — and know how to turn ideas into impact. This entails:
-
Proven experience & educational background: You hold a bachelor’s or master’s degree in communication, PR, journalism, or a related field — or you bring equivalent experience to the table. You’ve already clocked at least 3 years in a similar role, and it shows.
-
Digital-native mindset: You’re tech-savvy and quick to learn new tools. Whether it’s Slack, Monday, Odoo, or Google Workspace, you know how to work smart, stay organized, and streamline your workflow.
-
Bilingual writing wizard: You’re fluent in both Dutch and English, with strong editorial skills in both languages. You can switch tones and languages effortlessly, always hitting the right note for the right audience.
-
Creative and structured: You’re not just full of ideas — you know how to shape them, plan them, and follow through. You take ownership, deliver on time, and thrive in a fast-paced setting.
-
Event & innovation enthusiast: You feel at home in the world of live experiences, entrepreneurship, and tech. You get what makes this ecosystem tick — and it excites you.
Story-driven by nature: You believe in the power of storytelling to spark emotion, shift perspectives, and drive action — and you know how to craft those kinds of stories yourself. -
Hands-on storyteller: You’re not one to stay behind the scenes. You love getting out there — talking to speakers, partners, and visitors, capturing real stories as they unfold. Whether it’s prepping interviews, spotting newsworthy angles, or jumping into the PR cockpit during showtime: you’re in your element.
What we offer:
-
A Full-Time Role with Impact: This isn’t just a support role — you’ll have real ownership and responsibility from day one. You’ll be a key player in the engine room of SuperNova, helping keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
-
A Dynamic Work Environment: Forget boring routines — every day brings new challenges and opportunities. You’ll thrive in an ever-evolving environment where adaptability and proactivity are valued.
-
A Competitive Compensation Package: We offer a strong salary with extra perks and benefits that reflect your experience and contribution — because great work deserves great rewards.

A Front-Row Seat at Belgium’s #1 Innovation Festival: Be part of something big — really big. You’ll help shape SuperNova and become part of a buzzing network of innovators, investors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders.
-
A True Startup Mentality: Fast-paced, hands-on, and opportunity-rich. We move quickly, think boldly, and learn constantly. If you like wearing multiple hats and getting things done, you’ll feel right at home.
