ADVERTISING: The British Ladies’ Club of Luxembourg A.S.B.L. (BLC) brings together an international community of English-speaking women in Luxembourg through social, cultural, and charitable activities. The Club promotes social connection and networking, family-oriented events, and women-focused initiatives, including entrepreneurship platforms such as the Startup Pitch Evening. Net proceeds from BLC fundraising events are donated to charities voted solely by the Club’s members at the AGM.

Role Overview
The Advertising Manager leads the Club’s advertising function — selling and managing paid advertising placements for external partners within the BLC Newsletter, website, and related communication channels.
 
This role forms part of the BLC Committee and operates within the Club’s established governance structure. The Advertising Manager works in coordination with the Committee and Board when developing advertising opportunities and managing partner relationships.
 
Monthly reporting and attendance at the monthly Committee meetings are required.
 
Key Responsibilities
•Sell advertising placements within the BLC Newsletter, website, and other approved communication platforms.
•Maintain relationships with current advertising partners on behalf of the Club.
•Work together with the Committee to identify and approach prospective advertising partners.
•Develop advertising packages and partnership opportunities in coordination with the Committee.
•Track advertising agreements, renewals, and payments in coordination with the Treasurer.
•Coordinate with the Editor, Webmaster, and PR & Marketing team to ensure advertising content is delivered correctly and on time.
•Provide formal monthly reporting to the Committee and attend monthly Committee meetings.
 
Requirements
•Based in Luxembourg; fluent in English (French is an advantage, but optional).
•Strong communication and organisational skills.
•Comfortable working with email, spreadsheets, and basic publishing tools.
•A collaborative team player who works constructively within the Committee structure and maintains regular communication, including throughout any external representation of the Club.
•Attendance at monthly Committee meetings and provision of monthly reporting as part of the Committee is required.
•Willing to become a member of the Club and complete a structured onboarding process.
 
The first month of the role will focus on onboarding: understanding the Club’s mission, governance structure, internal processes, communication channels, and the principles used to select advertising partners in alignment with the Club’s values and direction.
 
What We Offer
•On-the-job training and practical experience in advertising sales, marketing, and partnership management.
•The opportunity to actively contribute to the BLC’s social and cultural programme, Kids’ Club and family-oriented activities, and women-focused initiatives — including community networking and entrepreneurship platforms such as the Startup Pitch Evening.
•Collaboration within a structured and supportive volunteer Committee and Board environment.
•A meaningful way to contribute to Luxembourg’s English-speaking community while expanding your network.
 
How to Apply
If you are interested in this role, please contact us via email at committee@blc.lu.

KIDS: If you enjoy little people, singing nursery rhymes and mingling with other exhausted parents over coffee and cake, as well as organising children’s events , please contact committee@blc.lu.


We are also on the lookout for a new accountant to do our audited accounts. Perhaps there is a member or a member’s partner who could provide this service? Our Treasurer Janet would gladly hear from you at treasurer@blc.lu.

Non Committee Roles

Area Reps: This is an important role within the BLC as, having been initially contacted by our newcomers co-ordinator, area reps are often the first point of contact for somebody who’s recently arrived in Luxembourg (and I’m sure we all remember those early days which can be rather bewildering) who’s able to give information local to their area and invite them to take their first step in socialising with other members.

Area rep roles are non-committee and largely self-sufficient and, aside from being a friendly face to a newbie to Luxembourg, it’s an open opportunity to meet people within your area and beyond and, frankly, widen your social networking as much as you like!  For more details click here or email chair@blc.lu 


Hosting BLC Kids:  We rely on the support of our members in order to continue many of our regular activities for younger children. Many of these are kindly hosted by members in their homes. Please do consider giving hosting a go – we are always on the look out for new hosts. The times and dates of our meet-ups are flexible, so you can do it whenever it suits your schedule. It’s a great way to socialise; a chance for mums to get a bit of grown-up conversation, and for the kids to have a good play.

If you are interested or would like to know more, then please do not hesitate to get in touch with either George (BLC Parent and Children’s Coordinators) on kids@blc.lu.


PROOFREADER: We are currently looking for an additional person to proofread the newsletter before it goes to print on a monthly basis. This is a non-committee role, can be done via email, and only requires a couple of hours each month, however it is also an extremely important job to ensure the ongoing quality of the newsletter.

You should have good attention to detail and an excellent grasp of written English. For further details, please contact editor@blc.lu.


STORAGE SPACE NEEDED!  We are looking for a storage space, for example a dry corner of a basement, where we could store the Kids events boxes that are only needed on an occasional basis, when a large event happens.

There are about 6 large Ikea boxes and a gazebo. We will bring the boxes, stack them and collect them when needed, we just need somewhere to put them.

If you can help, please contact either the chair@blc.lu or treasurer@blc.lu.


PEW Events:  We are looking for a volunteer to organise the Professional and Entrepreneurial Women Event, which happens every month and a half. It requires a person with good communication skills, preferably with a large network.
