Are you a communication professional that enjoys translating complex content into clear and simple social media messaging? Do you understand the impact of communication through on- and offline channels for different audiences? Then the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA) is looking for you because we need a new colleague in our communication team for a maternity cover of 5-6 months.

At WBA we seek to generate a movement around increasing the private sector’s impact towards a sustainable future for all. The private sector has a crucial role to play in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), but to boost companies’ motivation, there needs to be real change in the way that their impact is measured. That’s why we develop benchmarks that will compare companies’ performance on the SDGs. Communication is key to create momentum and relevancy for WBA and its benchmarks. The communication team facilitates on- and offline conversations and your role is to create content and manage projects that bring our purpose and work to life online. You work closely with the other communications colleagues and through working out loud we make sure everyone knows what’s happening and can step in.

develop social media toolkits for our stakeholders
