This is a role for a versatile self-starter with lots of natural curiosity about the world, sharp critical thinking skills,
sound editorial judgement, and sensitivity to complex political and cultural contexts and of the power dynamics
implicit in storytelling. While the role involves a lot of head-down research and writing, the Lead Writer must
also be a seasoned collaborator who is able to work with colleagues in all parts of the organization, and to build
relationships with external vendors and stakeholders.

You will be responsible for writing for a variety of platforms and in a variety of formats, including brand
messaging, web and social media content, marketing copy and campaigns, press releases, reports, fact sheets,
proofread communications produced by other members of the team and staff across the organization to ensure
they are aligned with the brand tone and of a high level of quality. And you will help to develop and implement
Right To Play's global annual editorial calendar and communications plan.

In your role as a leader on the Global Communications Team, you will work collaboratively with colleagues to
identify story opportunities and lead end-to-end story and content development. You will manage
communications projects from conception to completion, leading teams to collaborate effectively. You will also
provide training and coaching to colleagues across the organization on how to use brand messaging and develop
compelling communications.

This is a terrific opportunity for a creative, motivated, and strategic storyteller to work with a dynamic organic and
team to create compelling communications that engage, inspire, and delight partners and supporters in countries
around the globe.

Some international travel might be required.
