ABOUT YOU

This role will likely suit early-stage and mid-level communications/marketing generalists or specialists (0-5 years of experience) and could be tweaked significantly in responsibility to suit a senior communications/marketing specialist. At minimum, you should already be able to execute high-quality work across a range of communications tasks, combining some existing skills with an excitement to grow in new areas and contexts which may be less familiar. You will likely consider yourself as a communications-focused generalist to some degree, able to quickly learn and improve at tasks you have little or no previous experience with.

We expect excellent candidates will meet many (but not all) of the criteria below. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the listed characteristics. In the past, we've offered positions to applicants who demonstrated strong overall potential, providing training to address skill gaps. We prioritise high general ability, a strong work ethic, and alignment with our values, methods, and approach to maximising global impact over specific prior work experience or backgrounds. We sketch a picture of potential ideal candidates to give a more concrete sense of what particularly strong candidates might look like, not to discourage interested readers from applying.

• A skilled communicator, both in writing and in-person:

  • Can create powerful, professional, and compelling written content that concisely conveys complex ideas

  • Comes across as confident and persuasive in person when delivering talks at a conference, hosting an online Q&A, or having 1:1 discussions with promising applicants

• Has experience with some (but not necessarily all) of our core communications channels (Wix, Mailchimp, LinkedIn, Google Search Ads; Canva)

• Puts the mission first - being willing to do more menial applicant-driven work during crunch periods of our application cycles

• Has some prior experience with marketing or communications work, bringing practical experience of optimising tools like Google Analytics and Phantombuster, and in executing paid digital advertising campaigns

• Is familiar with and ideally has connections within the evidence-based international development space, farmed animal welfare movement, Effective Altruism movement, and/or other relevant (entrepreneurial, nonprofit, philanthropic) communities

• Is a results-oriented, data-driven decision-maker excited to prioritise ruthlessly and leave less important things undone

• Leans towards quick iteration and testing, being able to learn new skills and processes quickly through doing 

• Is a team player able to both give and receive constructive feedback, while being able to independently progress on important tasks when necessary

Desirable but not necessary:

• Can create compelling digital media through high-quality photography and/or filming

• Experience working in fast-moving and/or startup workplaces

• 1+ years of experience in communications or marketing-focused roles

APPLICATION PROCESS

Our application processes aim to be highly predictive, time-effective, and informative for you. Our process consists only of stages that our best evidence suggests are predictive of success on the job (such as test tasks) rather than more common but less predictive stages (such as cover letters). We only invite candidates to the next stage if we think they have a good chance of passing it, and take care to choose tasks and interview questions that will also give you a good sense of the role and our culture.

Applicants will be asked to complete the following stages:

1. Submitting our general application form (30 minutes to 1 hour),

2. A general test task (2-3 hours) with the top 10 to 30 candidates,

3. An initial interview (15 minutes) with the top 10-20 candidates,

4. A test task simulating the work you would do in your role (2-3 hours) with the top 5-15 candidates,

5. A final, more in-depth interview (~60 minutes) with the final 2-5 candidates.

We will also conduct a reference check before making an offer. Each stage typically takes 1-2 weeks from the end of the application deadline, and we hope to make an offer within ~8 weeks of the application deadline. Ideally, the candidate will begin onboarding as soon as possible after an offer is made. We strongly prefer candidates to join the team by January 2025, but we would consider a different date for an ideal candidate.
