This will be supported by a relevant degree, such as in communications, marketing or media studies.

You have a collaborative working style that is at its most effective when informed by a sound understanding of INTRAC’s diverse external audiences, sensitivity to cultural difference, roles of teams and individuals inside the organisation and our network, the importance of brand, design and style for the projection of organisational identity. You are able to work to deadlines in complex work processes involving multiple parallel demands.

You can demonstrate a commitment to INTRAC’s core values and purpose. A good understanding of international civil society issues such as in development, participation / democracy, humanitarian aid, human rights, peace and conflict, or environmental affairs is an asset.

You will bring experience of writing and editing copy (using desktop publishing software where
required) for the web, in blogs, media releases, and social media, as well as managing and further
developing a website as an effective and impact oriented communications tool which is also facilitating
access to electronic and hardcopy INTRAC resources, which you will manage.

Shorter and longer documents and other input provided by INTRAC staff and associates will require
editing by you to ensure fit to agreed concepts and formats for the publications, adherence to house
style and branding, and ensure the effective communication of our work and identity to INTRAC
audiences in civil society practice, research, policy making and those funding our activities.

Equipped with an analytical and impact oriented mind and a collaborative working style you will
