Reporting to the Communications Manager, the Communications Coordinator will develop, coordinate and publish a range of content to support the College’s strategic objectives and activities. This may include commissioning, editing and publishing articles for the College’s Pacific Wayfinder blog, producing and editing podcasts, and creating engaging social media content that promotes the College’s work and encourages discussion on issues related to Boe Declaration on Regional Security and the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.
While the position has a core set of responsibilities, there will be opportunities for the successful candidate to contribute in ways that align with their interests, skills and professional development goals.
