IMPACT Initiatives

Description

We are looking for a Communications Specialist to join our team in HQ.

IMPACT is seeking to transform and innovate existing external communications tools, approaches, and content, with the ultimate aim of enhancing the reach and impact of our research programmes. Through a new global award, we will be launching the “Translating Data to Action” Community of Practice, where both HQ and country-based staff will be able to collaborate on designing and implementing pilot initiatives that strengthen our communications, dissemination, and advocacy practices. In doing so, we seek to improve how aid actors integrate data and evidence into their planning, programme implementation, and strategic decision-making processes.

This role will take the lead on exploring and identifying industry best practices and relevant innovations in communications and outreach. It will also facilitate the Community of Practice, that will prioritise pilot initiatives that can be applied and sustainably integrated into IMPACT’s communications systems. In order to ensure a constant learning loop is maintained, the Communications Specialist will also be responsible for sharing knowledge and lessons learned from pilot and exploratory work, both internally and externally, in an adequate and timely manner.
