- Manage project timelines, triage tasks, and execute tasks in the publication “pipeline” in collaboration with the Communications Manager, delegating tasks to the Graphic Designer.
- “Translate” Cascade Institute research and analysis outputs into plain-language summaries and other accessible media (e.g., videos, recorded interviews, podcasts, etc.).
- Lead the production of design/aesthetic components of research and analysis outputs with the support of the Graphic Designer and the Research Team.
- Support the Operations Manager and Communications Manager in the planning and execution of events with a knowledge mobilization component.
- Support the Communications Manager in the conceptualization, creation, editing, and dissemination of high-impact content across various platforms, including social media posts, newsletters, press releases, website updates, annual reports, speeches, and other strategic marketing materials.
- Job Requirements- Master’s degree with a writing, research, and knowledge mobilization focus (e.g., journalism, social sciences, humanities).
- A minimum of 5 years professional experience in technical writing, grant writing, editing, publishing, and/or knowledge mobilization.
- Exceptional written and oral communication skills, including the ability to translate complex research findings into language for diverse audiences.
- Proficiency in advanced communication tools and platforms, including MS Office Suite, cloud-based collaboration tools, Twitter, LinkedIn, and publishing software.
- Strong organizational, project management, and time-management skills, with the capacity to handle complex tasks and meet strategic deadlines.
- Experience producing visually engaging and aesthetically pleasing written/research outputs.
- A demonstrated commitment to quality, accuracy, and attention to detail, maintaining the highest professional standards.
- A positive attitude, strong interpersonal skills, and the capacity to work both independently and collaboratively in a team-based environment.
