Celtic Seas - Communications Officer

The world is changing – and so are we. After 50 years, we’re more determined than ever to find solutions to the great environmental threats of our time. As a truly international network, we need our offices in the global South and East – the economic powerhouses of tomorrow – to be as strong as those in the North and West. We need to share more compelling stories of our work, stories that will change attitudes and inspire action. And we need to lead the way for organisations aspiring to work sustainably, with the opening of our ground breaking new Living Planet Centre in Woking. This is your chance to join the world’s leading environmental network as we face our biggest challenges yet. 

 

An outstanding communicator with strong interpersonal skills, you’ll oversee, co-ordinate and deliver all internal and external communications relating to this €4 million cross-border project focusing on good governance of our Celtic Seas. You’ll ensure key project objectives are communicated effectively to stakeholders, decision makers, the scientific community, and the wider public, as well as engaging with key project stakeholders and monitoring media activity.

 

Substantial experience in a complex communications role is required, along with the ability to present complex scientific information clearly and accurately. You’ll also need a good knowledge of the external context in which we work, and some experience of having worked with journalists.
