Media Relations 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. 

 

You’ll need to understand what makes a story really stand out. For this crucial communications role, you’ll be taking lead responsibility for strengthening the organisation’s profile in broadcast, print and online media by managing relationships with journalists, dealing with media enquiries and promoting stories and content. Experience of writing for media outlets is key. Additionally, you’ll need to have had experience of working individually as well as part of a team in supporting managers for a high profile organisation with a public brand.
