The Role
The Visibility & Communications Campaigner is a fantastic opportunity to raise the profile and impact of our forest campaigns, working in a collaborative, creative and mission driven work environment with the opportunity for international travel.
The role will work closely with our Communications department to focus on producing and sharing compelling communications that highlight the lived experienced of forest communities, expose environmental crimes and influence decision makers at national and international levels.
This is a creative campaigning role that combines storytelling, media engagement, digital communications, and strategic advocacy. The postholder will work closely with campaigners, investigators, partners, and affected communities to ensure that evidence and voices from the ground reach global audiences and drive change.
About you:
- You must have demonstrated experience in communications, campaigning, or media work for NGOs, civil society, or advocacy organisations.
- You will have excellent storytelling, writing, and editing skills, with ability to tailor outputs for different audiences (communities, policymakers, media, public).
- You will have strong digital communications skills, including social media strategy and multimedia content production.
- You will need experience working with journalists and securing impactful media coverage.
- You will be committed to environmental justice, human rights, and amplifying community voices.
- You will be sensitive to working with at-risk partners and applying safe communications practices.
- Ideally you will have experience working on forest governance, environmental crime, or extractive industries, as well as experience supporting Indigenous Peoples, grassroots defenders, or frontline communities to develop communications.
- Familiarity with open-source intelligence (OSINT), data visualisation, or campaign dashboards, would be an advantage.
