Background

The Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI) is a unique collaboration of NGOs and TSOs from across Europe, engaging in an ‘energy transition ecosystem-of-actors’. We promote fair, transparent, sustainable grid development to enable the growth of renewables and achieve full decarbonisation in line with the Paris Agreement. GINGR is a joint initiative of RGI and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It aims to facilitate Nature- and People-Positive renewable energy and grid deployment by establishing an industry-supported, government-endorsed monitoring and reporting framework at a global scale. 

RGI is now looking for a Junior Communications Manager to join the GINGR Team, working as part of a dynamic, international group that bridges sectors and cultures.

• Content Creation & Social Media: Drafting, editing, formatting, designing and publishing content for GINGR's website, social media channels, newsletters and other communications materials, as well as researching and sourcing relevant external content. 
• Publications & Communications Materials: Supporting the formatting, proofreading and production of reports, factsheets, presentations and other communications materials, helping ensure visual and editorial consistency across GINGR outputs. 

Other responsibilities will include:

• Event Support: Supporting the organisation and communications of GINGR events, including conferences, webinars and workshops.
• Contributing to RGI's Other Work and Initiatives: Supporting the wider RGI Communications Team with communications activities and ad hoc tasks as needed.
