What we are looking for

JASS (Just Associates), a feminist movement support organization rooted in the Global South, is looking for a talented and social media savvy Digital Communications Coordinator to co-develop and implement JASS’ digital strategy aimed at increasing the influence and relevance of grassroots women’s voices and solutions. The Digital Communications Coordinator will report to the Manager of Resource Mobilization and work closely with our cross-regional communications team and other staff, as well as with our partners and allies around the world.

The Digital Communications Coordinator will be responsible for: 1. Co-creating and implementing a bold and expansive JASS’ digital content strategy; 2. Implement a tight but responsive communications calendar, supporting the production of compelling content, and coordinating its targeted dissemination across JASS media platforms; 3. Managing JASS global social media platforms fed by distinct and vibrant but interconnected  regional platforms; and, 4. Ensuring JASS’ new website is fresh and always up to date including coordinating the publishing of content.

What you need to succeed

• Powerful Storytelling. You should have an intuitive ability to represent complex concepts in a clear, concise, and compelling way. Bonus points for the ability to explain concepts like patriarchy in one sentence that your aunt would understand
• Creative Sensibilities. You have an eye for good design and know how to cut through creative clutter. Further, you have worked with (and led) creative teams across a range of disciplines.
• Diverse Experience. We are a women’s rights organization but we value insights and knowledge from a variety of experiences and backgrounds. If you know our space, great. If you are curious and passionate, we still want to hear from you. 
• Inspiring Coordination Style. You have proven the ability to inspire among internal teams and allies to push the boundaries of what they thought was possible.
• Contagious Passion. You should see and be inspired by the world around you and by the women who lead social justice efforts every day. You have a fire in your belly and, in turn, you should be able to stoke the fires of those around you.
• Have a good sense of humor. Enough said.
