Job Description


Content Editor Job, Communications Jobs,


Purpose of the job


The Content Editor aligns Greenpeace’s multi-channel communications output with strategic goals as outlined by the Global Programme Goals. By working closely with an international network of communications hubs, the Editor helps maintain a 24/7 news desk to respond to inquiries and distribute content across all of Greenpeace International’s channels. 


The Editor amplifies the reach and impact of Greenpeace content by selectively distributing national and international stories to global audiences; connecting organisational projects, events and environmental stories to reflect the global nature of ecological work and impacts; responding to breaking news of regional significance; actively monitoring, engaging in traditional and digital media; managing a global output  calendar with the Managing Editor; and providing strategic support to priority NROs and projects. 


The role also supports social media output from ships, and large-scale rapid response in the region.


What your duties will be (in a nutshell):


Drawing on material mostly produced by Greenpeace’s national regional offices (NROs), you will extend the reach and impact of campaigns by curating and repackaging content for use across Greenpeace International’s digital platforms. You will also provide expertise and creativity to support NROs, campaign projects and allies to amplify their message — by identifying news and story angles and co-creating impactful communications plans and output. You will handle external and internal inquiries, actively supervise and engage traditional and social media, help run a global comms planning calendar, and respond to disruptive external events and organisational risks. You will keep up-to-date with trends and share knowledge with colleagues across the Greenpeace network.


Playing an important role in ensuring the health of our digital channels, you’ll work collaboratively to guide best practice and encourage the wider team to maintain a winning digital presence.
