Senior Communications and Content Officer (Global Green New Deal)

War on Want is a dynamic, radical organisation working in the UK and with partners around the world to fight poverty and defend human rights, as part of the movement for global justice. We mobilise support and build alliances to fight for human rights and raise public awareness of the structural causes of poverty and injustice, running hard-hitting campaigns here in the UK, and empowering people to take action for change. We work in partnership and active solidarity with allies and social movements in the Global South. As part of our Global Green New Deal and climate justice work, in February 2024 we will host a public conference, bringing together speakers from social justice movements across the globe.

We are looking for a Senior Communications and Content Officer to tell the story of our Global Green New Deal work across our communications channels and beyond, to mobilise and engage new and existing audiences, in line with organisational movement building aims.

In conjunction with the Head of Communications and colleagues across the organisation, the role will develop and deliver a communications content strategy for the Global Green New Deal, leading up to our February 2024 conference and beyond.

The successful candidate will work proactively to offer expert advice to colleagues in the Campaigns, Policy and Programmes team to identify and advise on creative, strategic communications approaches for Global Green New Deal work areas, suggest creative treatments, and tailor complex information into on-brand, engaging and accessible public-facing content.

The role will lead on developing imaginative, on-brand creative content to bring our Global Green New Deal vision to life, from website articles and social media explainers, to high-quality videos and graphics – and will handle creative communications for online and in-person Global Green New Deal events – including for the organisational conference on 24 February 2024 (alongside Communications colleagues). The role will work with external agencies, freelancers and designers, on occasion liaise with journalists to publicise our work.

This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and team-oriented creative communications professional to make an impact at a charitable organisation working for radical change.
