Description

Greenpeace International is hiring a digital media specialist for our global communications hub in the EMEA region

You will be a communicator with a deep understanding of digital media and the global news agenda. You will be able to strategise, plan and package stories for international audiences. With a flair for writing punchy content, an eye for powerful images, you will be able to demonstrate understanding and passion for using social media: how to use, track, and analyse it. Crafting captivating, impactful content and conversation, to help shift power and inspire change, will be second nature to you. You’ll be able to spot opportunities and risks related to Greenpeace, and have a broad understanding of social and political issues across the Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, with particular experience engaging audiences in countries in sub-saharan Africa and the Middle East and North Africa.

You will work closely with partner hubs in the Americas and APAC regions to maintain a 24/7 news desk, responding to inquiries, distributing engaging content across Greenpeace International’s digital platforms (currently primarily Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and website). And if that is not enough, you will also support a global network of Greenpeace offices and campaign project teams to plan and deliver impactful communications.

This is a full time position and is offered for 12 months (with the possibility of extension subject to review). You may be based in any country we have a Greenpeace Organisation (subject to agreement) with preference for candidates based in Kenya, Senegal or South Africa.

Success in this role will depend on having a proactive, open and collaborative approach to working with colleagues across the world and dedication to principles of equity, diversity and justice.

What your duties will be (in a nutshell):

Drawing on material mostly produced by Greenpeace’s national regional offices (NROs), you will extend the reach and impact of campaigns by curating and repackaging content for use across Greenpeace International’s digital platforms.
You will also provide expertise and creativity to support NROs, campaign projects and allies to amplify their message — by identifying news and story angles and co-creating impactful communications plans and output.
You will handle external and internal inquiries, actively supervise and engage traditional and social media, help run a global comms planning calendar, and respond to disruptive external events and organisational risks.
You will keep up-to-date with trends and share knowledge with colleagues across the Greenpeace network.
Playing an important role in ensuring the health of our digital channels, you’ll work collaboratively to guide best practice and encourage the wider team to maintain a winning digital presence.
