- 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.
