-
Occasionally attend events or workshops (in the UK or abroad) to capture stories and build relationships with partners.
About You
-
You’re a natural communicator who thrives on genuine interaction and knows how to build rapport online.
-
You have a strong grasp of brand voice and can adapt tone and messaging to suit different audiences and contexts.
-
You’re curious and empathetic — able to navigate complex or conflicting information and find clarity in nuance.
-

-
You have demonstrable experience managing social media channels for an organisation, ideally with an international, humanitarian, or non-profit focus.
