Communication Jobs
This is a remarkable opportunity to work with an incredibly dedicated team at WWF Cymru, and use your experience in multi-channel communications and knowledge of Wales (with an interest in Pembrokeshire in particular) to help put nature at the top of the political and media agenda in Wales and secure better decisions for our environment.
WWF Cymru is currently pursuing a multi-year work programme to address the ‘Triple Challenge’ in Wales: how we tackle climate change, reverse the loss of nature, and transition to a sustainable food system. The years ahead are critical for engaging politics and the public in Wales on this triple challenge, and as Communications Manager you will focus on delivering project based national and local communications as part of a small team based in Cymru. You’ll play a key role in raising the profile of both the Regenerative Ocean Farming and Pembrokeshire Wholescapes programmes, locally and nationally.
As Communications Manager you will develop and deliver bilingual (Welsh/English) multi-channel communications plans. This will involve building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders and collaborating with colleagues to plan, create and commission content and assets as well as preparing public narratives, press releases, media briefings, case studies and more. You will therefore be able to ensure data and information is presented in a public friendly and accessible way. You will develop relationships with key stakeholders and supporters in Wales and work to implement campaigns that will engage and inspire them to take action. You will also provide advice and guidance internally on the Welsh context, culture and language and in relation to your programmes.
For this high-profile role, you must have experience in multi-channel communications and sound knowledge of the media landscape in Wales. Importantly, you will have experience of working in a bilingual environment in Wales and be able to converse in the Welsh language.
Effective at developing and delivering on communications plans aimed at a variety of groups, you will be comfortable speaking to journalists and using digital and social media tools to engage, mobilise and influence key audiences. You will also have a track record of delivering projects or campaigns working with a wide variety of partners and stakeholders.
If you have the experience to raise the profile of our Regenerative Ocean Farming and Pembrokeshire Wholescapes programmes, locally and nationally, we would love to hear from you. Please click on the link and apply via our website by submitting a copy of your up-to-date CV and Supporting Statement to highlight what makes you a good fit for us.
