**Public Engagement and Social Media**
- Inform the social media strategy and manage the Resilience Program’s Twitter account, ensuring posts are relevant, timely, engaging, and targeted to the needs and interests of key audiences. This includes drafting and/or editing posts, organizing promotions, tracking trending topics and hashtags, and regularly monitoring the feeds of partner organizations to identify opportunities for cross-promotion.

**Digital Strategy**
- Working within content management systems such as Drupal or WordPress, upload and edit content for websites, adhering to IISD guidelines. This includes the NCAI website.
- Drafting and assisting program staff in developing articles, blog posts, stories, infographics, and videos that make IISD's work accessible to non-expert audiences.
- Review program-relevant pages on IISD websites and micro-sites for timeliness and update as needed.
- Working closely with IISD’s deputy communications director and other relevant colleagues, use analytics software to monitor, assess, and report on website traffic and engagement with our digital content, advising where appropriate on opportunities to improve.
- In collaboration with IISD’s design team, manage the production of digital content, including Twitter cards, posters, invitations, simple infographics, presentations, and other conference or workshop materials. Retouch and resize images as needed.
- Assist in finding and selecting images to communicate IISD’s work in publications, infographics, videos, websites, and other materials/platforms.

**Internal Processes**
- Ensure brand coherence and compliance with existing and new IISD communications practices.
- Manage internal processes related to the development and dissemination of communications products, including coordinating feedback from internal and external stakeholders, approvals, and copy editing.
- Maintain strong relationships with program staff to gain a deeper understanding of their research and policy objectives in order to translate their work into key messages and strategies that resonate with priority audiences.
