Strategic Communications Lead, Global Governance

Strategic Communications Lead

NextGen Governance Lab (NGGL) is a youth-led think-and-do tank on global governance, born in International Geneva from first-hand experience of the multilateral system, with a presence in Madrid.

Through a series of programmes built on research, action and advocacy, NGGL works across six areas: democracy, the future of multilateralism, peace and security, human rights, gender equality and AI governance. Its work moves in two directions: bringing young people closer to the institutions that shape their lives, to rebuild trust, prevent radicalisation and strengthen democracy; and giving young people a real role in the decisions that define their future.

The role

As Strategic Communications Lead, you will work directly with NGGL’s Director to shape how NGGL speaks to young people and to the international community.

• Shape NGGL’s voice and key messages across LinkedIn, Instagram and our other channels.
• Turn complex global issues, from AI and democracy to the future of multilateralism, into posts, carousels, infographics and short videos that people want to read and share.
• Cover NGGL’s events and public interventions, turning them into video clips and stories for our channels.
• Amplify the work of the young analysts in the NGGL Network, along with our publications and calls.
• Grow NGGL’s community across countries and use metrics to learn what works.
• Contribute to NGGL’s communications strategy. Your ideas are genuinely welcome and can shape how NGGL is seen.

What you gain

• Hands-on experience in strategic communications in global governance, in the context of International Geneva, Brussels and the multilateral system.
• A portfolio of published work across NGGL’s channels, with real room for creativity.
• Opportunities to cover and represent NGGL at events, online and in Malaysia.
• Visibility through NGGL’s channels and the events you take part in.
• Real responsibility, a certificate and a letter of recommendation.

Who we are looking for

• Studying or recently graduated in communications, journalism, marketing, design, international relations, political science or a related field. Other backgrounds are welcome if you can show genuine interest and a good fit for the role.
• Committed and reliable, with a strong sense of ownership and initiative.
• Highly organised, proactive and a strong communicator in English.
• Creative, with an eye for design and storytelling. A portfolio, or experience with Canva, CapCut or similar tools, is an asset.
• Genuinely interested in international affairs.

Details
