Communications Lead, Nature Action Agenda

vor 3 Wochen

Genf, Schweiz World Economic Forum Vollzeit

This is a fixed-term role lasting until June 30, 2026.

Why we are recruiting

Momentum for nature is fast gaining traction in both public and private sector communities. COP16 held in Cali strengthened the interest from business.

We are searching for a communications professional who will oversee the NAA communications requirements, leading both communications strategy and operations.

To be successful in this role, the candidate will need to show a proven track record in communications and stakeholder engagement – internally and externally – communication strategy development, strong project management of deliverables across work-streams, and delivery with coordination across teams. The candidate will have excellent writing skills, experience in traditional and social media communications, work with digital tools, and be creative and innovative. Discretion and diplomacy are vital as the candidate will be dealing with senior stakeholders in this role.

Reporting lines and interactions

This role sits within the NAA team, part of the Centre for Nature and Climate at the Forum office in Geneva, Switzerland. The successful candidate will report to the Head of Nature Action Agenda. Within the Forum, the candidate will work closely with colleagues in the NAA team, the broader Centre for Nature and Climate, and the Global Communications Group. Beyond the Forum, the candidate will work with other partners around key report launches and events, including business, multilateral organizations, and NGOs.

  4. Working closely with workstream leads, prepare and maintain key marketing materials and web pages.
  5. Baseline and demonstrate communication progress through outcome-focused metrics and data through regular evaluation reports.
  6. Keep abreast of the latest communication trends as well as emerging trends relating to the breadth of topics on nature and biodiversity, informing NAA’s impact communication strategy accordingly.

Media engagement and events support

  1. Help manage relevant communications on events for World Economic Forum meetings, as well as key external events.
  2. Develop and coordinate content (key messages, speeches, blogs, articles, media releases, and business updates) in line with the Forum’s Global Communications strategy, and other communications tools to promote the efforts of NAA to its members, funders, and other relevant stakeholders.
  3. Coordinate with the Forum Global Communications Group and Marketing teams to leverage digital opportunities.
  4. Respond to media inquiries and support the team in preparing for media interviews where relevant.

The successful candidate will be assessed on

  1. Refine the communications strategy and action plan with regular progress monitoring.
  2. Creation of up-to-date content for NAA.
  3. Proactive attitude and cooperation with the broader team to create opportunities and to establish and improve stakeholder engagement.
  4. Self-motivated, high-energy, and supportive individual with the ability to grow with the role.
  5. Excellent communicator capable of motivating a team, working cross-functionally, and liaising with external stakeholders as needed.
  6. Ability to work autonomously and in a fast-paced environment; being able to multi-task is crucial.

Preferred requirements and experience

  1. Degree in communication, marketing, media engagement, strategy, or equivalent, with a broad intellectual background.
  2. Experience and interest in environmental sustainability. Specific experience in biodiversity issues would be an asset.
  3. 5 to 7 years of relevant professional experience, working with different industries to build global campaigns and communications.
  4. Experience working in the private sector (especially consulting) preferred.
  5. Ability to work with C-suite business leaders and leading issue experts in academia, international organizations, governments, and NGOs, as well as with representatives from grassroots organizations.
  6. Experience with public relations agencies, media consultants, and working with communications professionals is a strong advantage.
  7. Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, with an understanding of stakeholder needs. A committed, collaborative, positive, and solution-oriented team player.
  8. Proficient in MS Office; experience with digital platforms and tools would be an asset.
  9. Strong editorial judgment, writing, and editing skills.
  10. Outstanding verbal and written communication skills in English. Proficiency in other languages desirable.
  11. High standards of professionalism and integrity with a collaborative spirit and positive attitude.
