The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is the world’s largest and most diverse environmental network, harnessing the knowledge and resources of governments, civil society organisations, scientists, and experts. IUCN works to influence, encourage, and assist societies to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable.
To strengthen its digital communications, IUCN seeks a Digital Content Creator to research, produce, and manage engaging content for its social media platforms, and to oversee the organisation’s digital asset management system.
The Digital Content Creator will support IUCN’s communications strategy by producing high-quality, impactful, and platform-specific content that enhances IUCN’s visibility, engagement, and influence on social media. The role will also ensure effective organisation, accessibility, and long-term preservation of multimedia resources through the management of IUCN’s digital asset management (DAM) system.
