Communications And Social Media Manager (Remote)

The World Benchmarking Alliance is a non-profit organisation helping to hold the world’s 2,000 most influential companies accountable for their part in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We do this by publishing free and publicly available benchmarks on their performance and showing what good corporate practice looks like. These benchmarks provide companies with a clear roadmap of what commitments and changes they must make to put our planet, society and economy on a more sustainable and resilient path. They also equip everyone – from governments and financial institutions to civil society organisations and individuals – with the insights that they need to hold businesses accountable to what they are responsible for.

Communication is key for storytelling, building momentum and driving action. We are looking for a Communications and Social Media Manager to join our communications team and focus on two responsibilities. Firstly, to support creating and distributing our content across our social media channels. Your writing will help us simplify research findings from different sustainability topics, make them accessible to a broader audience and create engagement online. You will track and analyse data from our social media platforms to optimise our social media contents’ reach, campaigns and relevance to our key audiences.

Secondly, you will lead the communication activities for the financial system transformation, through which we measure and rank the 400 most influential financial institutions on their contribution to a just and sustainable economy. As the communications point of contact for this transformation, you will help build and execute a successful communications plan to maximise the impact of their data and insights in the financial ecosystem.
