Position: Strategic Communications Specialist
Organization: Hey Neighbour! Collective
Location: Vancouver BC (some in-person meetings in downtown Vancouver will be required, but workdays are flexible)
Term: nine-month, part-time contract
The opportunity:
Strategic Communications Specialist
The small but ambitious support team that serves HNC partners, guided by our theory of change, is on the lookout for a new part-time member to boost our communications and knowledge mobilization capacity. Our new Strategic Communications Specialist will assist with and often take leadership on a variety of projects, as well as provide internal support to help HNC manage growth and opportunities.
Reporting to the Project Director, the Strategic Communications Specialist will work collaboratively with the HNC team and its key partners to support knowledge mobilization planning, activities, and outputs. This may include synthesizing evidence from academic research, but also communicating learnings from a range of different practitioners within and beyond the HNC network. This may take the form of evidence-informed reports and resources, webinars, workshops or policy dialogues. This role uses effective communications and knowledge-mobilization approaches to support the expanded reach, uptake, and use of HNC’s evidence and key learnings in planning, program development and policy making.
The ideal candidate is a creative, strategic and adaptable self-starter who also thrives working collaboratively in a small, core team with a wide range of partner relationships. There is also a team of contractors (writer, editor, graphic designer, social media assistant, web developer and content management specialist) that the Strategic Communications Specialist will work alongside.
This is a nine-month, part-time contract. Some in-person meetings in downtown Vancouver will be required, but workdays are flexible. The candidate should be comfortable with remote work via videoconference, email and phone.
