The candidate should be solution-oriented, impact-oriented and committed to adhering to timelines.

If you think you can ace content dissemination and fancy deep-diving into data analytics, we would like to speak to you. If you can help us mainstream sustainability from the margins through effective communication, we would consider hiring you.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for shaping and driving CEEW's overall digital communications strategy across platforms, ensuring all digital assets work together to maximise institutional impact.

• Strengthen the brand voice for CEEW on digital media, in collaboration with the Senior Communications Manager. Monitor CEEW's digital reputation, strengthen social listening, and manage digital risks where required.
• Manage a team of social media, web, video, and design associates. Mentor, build capacity and foster innovation within the digital team.
• Create an employee advocacy programme that enables researchers and leadership to become active digital ambassadors for CEEW, and develop amplification strategies with institutional partners, universities, think tanks, creators and aligned organisations so that our content reaches new audiences through trusted networks.
• Assist in the development of new digital dashboards and tools.
• Stay up to date with digital trends and emerging platforms. Evaluate and pilot emerging platforms, formats and technologies to continuously improve CEEW's digital presence.
