About the Role 

We’re looking for a brilliant young communications professional, who knows how to balance international campaigns, and can work in a dynamic remote work environment.

As either our lead Communications Manager for our Asia team, you will get the chance to work with young journalists across the region as well as interact with journalists from around the world and help to build their profiles, promote our opportunities, but also build powerful products for young climate journalists 

You should be able to measure the results of your work, and help us learn from what we’re doing well, and what we need to work on.

• If you don’t have stable internet connection and/or aren’t comfortable working on a range of communications and project management programs
