Candidates should hold an advanced university degree in communications, journalism, public relations, international relations, public policy, political science, development studies or a related field, although a first-level university degree combined with additional relevant professional experience may be accepted in lieu of an advanced degree. They should have a minimum of two years of relevant professional experience in communications, public information, journalism, policy communications, executive support or a related field, including demonstrated experience drafting and editing high-quality speeches, briefing notes, talking points, correspondence, articles or digital content. Strong research, fact-checking and editorial skills are required, along with a proven ability to translate complex information into concise communications products. Experience with digital communications, website content, social media or communications planning is desirable, and experience with policy, research, development, international or civil-society organisations, particularly in Sudan, the Horn of Africa or complex institutional settings, is an asset.
