Similar to a desert before a rainstorm, we believe that developing countries are full of potential waiting for the right conditions to unleash a superbloom (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superbloom) of creativity and positive impact. At Bloom, our work weaves together the pursuit of equal opportunity, global challenges and the SDGs, the changing nature of work, and the pursuit of meaning, personal growth, and building positive, sustainable and inclusive communities.

Imagine this: 

Imagine a team that works hard on incredibly difficult challenges, that isn’t afraid to do things never done before, and that strives to do things that other people think are impossible or crazy. All the while, that same team pursues excellence in the process of achieving those things, balancing those ambitions with self-care and care of the team.

Imagine a team that believes in a balance between our human potential and the power of technology, NI (natural intelligence) and AI (artificial intelligence), and that's working to harness that power of technology to help people around the world, especially in the most difficult situations, in the most difficult places. 

Imagine a team that is working to leverage global best practices and research on personal growth, organizational development, and economic development. And then pushing beyond those limits to do our own research, develop our own methods, and build new tools, to then share them with the world.

Imagine a team that knows no borders, that believes in remote work so we can collaborate with the best people worldwide, wherever they are. Imagine a team that supports the personal growth and ambitions of our team members, just as they support the growth and ambitions of our organization. 

That is what we’re building at Bloom …

… and we’re looking for people to join us in this movement. If the passages above excite you, then we look forward to hearing from you.

We think that community engagement and communications is a critically important part of our work, and though it’s not everything, it’s close. (If you landed directly on this page, please also visit Join the Team, and About Us.)

We’re looking for someone who loves the creative side of community engagement and communications (writing posts and press releases, creating compelling multi-media content, dreaming up creative campaigns that inspire people and invite engagement), along with the event organizer side helping create and facilitate great and impactful events, mostly dynamic, fun, engaging online events, along with the disciplined data-driven side of communications and engagement, working with the UX (user experience) and M&E (monitoring & evaluation) Lead (open position) to assess, understand, and improve our approaches to community engagement.

For the Creative Side:

2. Overseeing production of multimedia content, and working with video producers and designers to realize great creative productions; 
3. Basic comfort using design tools, to adjust and implement design templates created by our design team; 
4. Fluency in creating content in English and Arabic, and French a big plus. 

For the Event Organizer Side:

1. Experience designing and implementing meticulous detailed-oriented events, including both offline and online events; 
2. Comfort using and facilitating events with online event platforms;
3. Enthusiasm about working with a broad ecosystem of partners, and designing collaborative events that delight our partners as much as the attendees;
4. Experience in tech, startup, and social innovation events a plus.

2. Demonstrated experience with segmenting users and content testing;
3. Experience using monitoring and analytics tools for creating detailed communications impact reports.
