The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) supports more than 80 member countries committed to leveraging mining for sustainable development while limiting its negative impacts. We work with governments to optimize the benefits of mining to advance sustainable development, including through policy guidance, capacity building, and dialogue. A key moment each year is the IGF Annual General Meeting, where governments, industry, and civil society come together to share knowledge and shape the future of sustainable mining.
We are seeking an English and French speaking Communications Officer to support communications for the IGF Mining Team. This is a pivotal role that combines strategic communications, brand positioning, media outreach, digital engagement, and event communications. The role is critical in amplifying IGF’s voice globally, shaping narratives on mining and sustainable development, and ensuring that the Forum’s work resonates with governments, industry, media, civil society, and the wider public. The Communications Officer will also support IGF’s flagship event—the Annual General Meeting.
The successful candidate will make complex policy issues accessible to global audiences, strengthen engagement with IGF’s member states and partners, highlight the impact of funders’ support, and help IGF stand out in a crowded space. This role requires excellent organizational skills, strong writing and editing ability, experience with digital media, and familiarity with member-based organizations or multilateral processes
