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.
- 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.
