The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation modification (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some impacts of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Degrees is neutral on whether SRM should ever be used, but we believe that developing countries should be empowered to conduct their own research and to play a central role in SRM discussions.
This is a unique opportunity to shape global conversations on climate science by empowering researchers in developing countries to publish and communicate their work, collaborating with some of the world’s leading SRM experts.
We are looking for a candidate with strong digital skills and social media experience. The ideal candidate will have experience creating content for social and web, managing website content and systems, and working with digital media (photos and video).

Social media
- Manage day-to-day social media posting across current channels (LinkedIn, X, Bluesky), posting content that aligns with our tone of voice and brand guidelines
- Monitor social media and traditional media for mentions of Degrees and the wider topic of SRM, identifying trends and opportunities
- Evaluate social media performance and recommend potential new strategies and platforms, driven by data as well as awareness of Degrees’ position
Content creation
- Edit short videos of our researchers for social media and the website
- Design graphics for social media, reports, presentations and events, using tools such as Canva or InDesign
- Write news, profiles, and announcements for the website
Website
- Act as primary website administrator, keeping the website up to date by editing and adding new pages as required
- Maintain content consistency across the website, especially as we redevelop our site and move to a new platform (WordPress, with Gutenberg editor)
- Assist with website content migration using a good understanding of website database management systems (e.g. Jet Engine, ACF)
- Use analytics to monitor website performance and suggest SEO improvements (Google Analytics)
Team support
- Create and maintain templates for documents, presentations, etc., to ensure consistency across visual products
- Compile and deliver the quarterly newsletter (using MailChimp)
