YPL and BV develop locally led approaches to support marine conservation that benefit people and nature alike. By listening and responding to basic needs, we design our models to catalyse and sustain marine conservation, unlocking the potential of coastal communities to manage their resources. We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and are committed to advancing the rights of small-scale fishers throughout the coastal tropics.
Do you want to be part of a rapidly growing social enterprise, advocating for the rights of small-scale fishers and showcasing grassroots conservation efforts in some of the world’s most important marine biodiversity hotspots? Are you responsive, dynamic and able to get things done in a fast-moving work environment?
We’re looking for a creative Senior Communications Officer to join our team in Indonesia. The successful candidate will work closely with our Indonesia based conservation team and UK-based digital communications colleagues, to document our learning and experiences in reports, toolkits and news articles, as well as telling engaging stories from the field, whether they be photo stories, films, blogs, or social media campaigns.
This exciting position will harness external media relations, digital storytelling and data visualisation tools to raise the profile of Indonesia's small-scale coastal fishers. The successful candidate will have outstanding written communication and editing skills, and the ability to adapt messaging to target diverse audiences. This will include showing empathy, humility and sensitivity to community, partner and government interests in all communications, and writing in a style that exemplifies Pesisir Lestari and Blue Ventures’ core values.
