Communications Coordinator

The Role: Communication Coordinator:

At WOTR, communications is about giving voice to rural communities, showing the impact of climate action on their lives, and connecting that story to those who make it possible: our donors, partners, and well-wishers. It is also how we shape how the world sees us - every story and update carrying the organisation’s values and identity. As our Communications Coordinator, you’ll be more than a content creator. You’ll be a storyteller, a connector, and a bridge between the field, research, donors, and the wider world.

Who You Are:

• First and foremost, a writer at heart- able to tell stories that are simple, human, and impactful.
• Curious and willing to dive deep to understand WOTR’s work and the larger development and climate action space.
• Someone with the instincts of a reporter- spotting the right story and asking the right questions.
• Someone who can translate complex work into engaging, credible, and relatable narratives that resonate with multiple audiences.
• A team player who can collaborate across functions and cultures.
• Socially sensitive, with a genuine interest in the development sector, and some awareness of how communication strategies need to connect with the right audiences.
• Proficient in Canva
• Experienced (1 - 2 years) in communications, journalism, or a related field.
• Strong command of written and spoken English; Hindi or Marathi skills will help you connect more deeply with communities.
• Active on social media platforms like LinkedIn, X, and Instagram.
• Willingness to travel to the field and connect with people.

What You'll Do:

• Work with a team that is as passionate as you to craft and implement communication strategies focused on climate action.
• Write compelling stories, narratives, and social media posts
• Identify strong stories from the field and research (like a good reporter would) and work closely with field teams to bring them alive.
• Co-ordinate with external vendors and partners to bring out communication products (like Annual Report) in a timely manner.
• Work on platforms like Shorthand, Canva and Wordpress to craft stories.
• Disseminate various communication outputs on digital media.
• Create engaging content for diverse media, including digital (website + email newsletters + social media), print, and video.
• Collaborate with diverse internal stakeholders to develop and implement impactful communication strategies.
• Design visually compelling graphics and layouts using tools such as Canva for reports, posters and other promotional materials.
• Ensure WOTR’s brand identity is consistent across platforms.
• Support communication strategies to ensure messages are responsible, engaging, and reach the right audiences effectively.
• Craft crisp, impactful copy for WhatsApp and other outreach platforms with a balance of social responsibility and marketing appeal.
