We think that community engagement and communications is a critically important part of our work, and though it’s not everything, it’s close. 

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)

• Loves the event organiser side helping create and facilitate great and impactful events, mostly dynamic, fun, engaging online events, 

• Loves the disciplined data-driven side of communications and engagement, working with UX (user experience) and M&E (monitoring & evaluation) people to assess, understand, and improve our approaches to community engagement.

For the Creative Side:

• A love of writing, especially compelling creative writing for short posts, long posts, and story-telling (a love of poetry is a plus!); 

• Overseeing the production of multimedia content, and working with video producers and designers to realise great creative productions; 

• Basic comfort using design tools, to adjust and implement design templates created by our design team; 

• Fluency in creating content in English and Arabic, and French a big plus. 

For the Event Organizer Side:

• Experience designing and implementing meticulous detailed-oriented events, including both offline and online events; 

• Comfort using and facilitating events with online event platforms;

• Enthusiasm about working with a broad ecosystem of partners, and designing collaborative events that delight our partners as much as the attendees;

• Experience in tech, startup, and social innovation events a plus.

For the Disciplined Data-Driven Side:

• Posting content on social media platforms, and comfort with running multiple tests of content to learn and optimise content and approaches continually; 

• Demonstrated experience with segmenting users and content testing;

• Experience using monitoring and analytics tools for creating detailed communications impact reports.

• Part-time ok to start (minimum 3-4 days/week availability), with preference towards full-time availability in the near future 

• Remote work / partial remote work is ok, though at least some part-time presence in Lebanon is required

• Initial contract is as a “consultant/contractor”, with potential for shifting to a full-time position in the future 

• Benefits (health care, pension, vacation accrual, etc) are available once people shift to full-time positions

• All positions can be paid into accounts in Lebanon (fresh money accounts) or abroad.
