Work For Us

The Humanitarian Communications Coordinator (HCC) leads coordination of CI-wide media work, particularly in support of the CI Secretariat’s humanitarian emergency and advocacy objectives, crises and major events of relevance to CARE, and within the broader context of promoting and supporting CARE’s global vision, mission and the objectives of the CI strategic plan. A priority for the position is the coordination and support of CI-wide media and external communications’ work during humanitarian emergencies, crises and major events in which CARE is involved, including, when necessary, deploying to the field. The HCC works with the CI Emergency Group, CI Secretariat, all CI members, and Country Offices, to develop and implement appropriate CI-wide plans and to improve CI-wide capacity for, and impact of, media and external communications work. The HCC supports the implementation of the global brand and communications strategy to maximise the impact of CARE’s brand and messages worldwide, in coordination with marketing, communications and fundraising colleagues, and manages the CI Secretariat’s global online presence. The HCC has a strong understanding of CARE’s work, policies, and approaches, and uses this as the basis of CARE’s media and external communications work.  Reporting to the Head of Global communications, the HCC develops and maintains strong internal relationships across CI and with external networks, including the media, humanitarian community, and other strategic partners. This position requires approximately 25 percent travel.
