Social Media Manager Jobs

Join an exciting initiative that is supporting governments around the world to protect and promote media freedom!

The Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) is the corporate foundation of Thomson Reuters, the global news and information services company. As an independent charity we work to advance media freedom, foster more inclusive economies, and promote human rights. We combine our unique media development and legal services to drive systemic change through news, capacity strengthening, free legal assistance, and convening initiatives. 

TRF provides a Secretariat function to the Media Freedom Coalition (MFC). The MFC is a partnership of 51 countries from six continents working together to advocate for media freedom and the safety of journalists at home and abroad. The MFC works closely with civil society and a panel of legal experts, among others, to promote media freedom through a range of activities – including public and private diplomacy to support journalists at risk, coordinated action through embassies, events and the promotion of legal reforms. The MFC was established in 2019 while the Secretariat was established in 2022. More information about the MFC can be found here.

The MFC Secretariat plays a central role in maximising the impact of the Coalition. It does this in four areas:

• Administration and operations: engaging with and supporting members of the Coalition; delivering activities including events and briefings; coordinating responses to cases of concern (in which journalists and news organisations are facing threats to their reporting); supporting embassies to act on media freedom; organizing meetings and maintaining the MFC’s network of contacts; 

• Communications: communicating the MFC’s activities and impact externally, via website, social media and mainstream media coverage; supporting public-facing events; keeping the MFC’s network informed about activities and opportunities to take action;

• Policies and strategy: ensuring policies and processes are in place to facilitate an efficient, effective and responsive coalition; supporting strategic decision making; monitoring the latest developments in the media freedom context; 

• Monitoring and evaluation: tracking and understanding the MFC’s outcomes and impact, and learning lessons from this.

The Secretariat is supported by grants from Global Affairs Canada, the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office, and Germany’s Federal Foreign Office.

We are seeking an organized and resourceful Project Manager to join our team. The Project Manager will lead on two key areas of the Secretariat’s work: (1) supporting and facilitating the MFC’s work on cases of concern, in which journalists and media workers are under threat, and (2) promoting greater engagement with diverse member countries of the MFC.

As part of the role you will interact with a wide range of government officials, civil society experts and legal experts from different parts of the world and establish improved processes for MFC interventions and engagement. The ideal candidate will be able to take the initiative while working collaboratively and will have excellent problem-solving skills. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to deepen their engagement in the media freedom, human rights and/or democracy fields through working with leading experts and cutting-edge issues.

The role is based in Canary Wharf in London. The role is full time and you would be expected to attend TRF’s offices two or more days per week.

This is a 12-month fixed-term contract (depending on availability). The contract may be extended beyond this, conditional on further funds being secured for the Secretariat’s continued operation.We expect the 12-month term of the contract will result in tangible and meaningful outcomes, such as improvements to processes and strategy, and more engaged member countries.

Some travel is anticipated as part of this role.

Use your communication skills to help inspire the UK Church to participate in sharing the gospel with people in hard-to-reach places.

About us

At Feba UK, we are passionate about God’s mission, and the creative use of radio and other audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in places considered closed or hard-to-reach: where people might not hear the gospel by any other means, or where it’s difficult to be a Christian.

About our development

Since Feba UK was established 65 years ago to help communicate the gospel by shortwave radio, much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.

We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local partners with training, expertise, prayer, and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in the listener’s ‘heart language’. Radio and other audio technology means they can reach people at scale and follow up in-person as listeners respond.

Today, our model of working with local, indigenous partners has a powerful impact in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

About the role

We now seek a Head of Communications and Engagement to focus on engaging the Church in the UK, where increasingly fewer churches see world mission as a priority. This role will take the lead on changing this, inspiring the Church through Feba UK’s ministry, reawakening its members to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring transformation to some of the most disadvantaged and oppressed communities around the world.

About you

You will be a communications and engagement leader with a track record of developing and delivering high impact communication strategies who is adept in using digital and non-digital media. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration, and you will have a passion for mission.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached. Closing date 6th January.

And we know what we need to do to make that future a reality. We need to push harder, reach further and work smarter. And we need the right people on our team to help us get there. People like you.
