Senior Specialist, Communications

**Location** ------------ US Remote **Duration** ------------ This is a 2\-year fixed\-term position, with full benefits and the possibility of extension. **Application Instructions** ---------------------------- Interested applicants, please include a cover letter. **Overall Function** -------------------- EDF is looking for a writer, thinker, and communicator with internal comms expertise and the versatility to flex beyond it. This role sits at the center of how EDF's staff understands the organization, its direction, and its mission. You'll keep people informed, connected, and inspired, and you'll do it with craft: clear prose, sharp instincts, and a knack for making complex ideas feel human and urgent. Reporting to the Director, Internal Communications, you'll partner with leaders and staff across the Executive Management Team, Global Mission, Global Enterprise, and Development to help them communicate with clarity and purpose. You'll build and maintain the channels that keep EDF functioning as a coherent organization, and you'll bring enough range to step into other communications challenges as they arise. **Key Responsibilities** ------------------------ * Write clear and compelling content across formats including features, Slack posts, leadership messages, event scripts and video concepts — adapting to fit the audience and moment. * Translate complex, technical, or sensitive material into content that people read and remember. * Produce and oversee graphics, short\-form video, and live and virtual events that bring the organization together. * Own measurement across internal channels. Move fast to track what works, report on what doesn't, and act on what you learn. * Advise colleagues and leaders on content, tone, and timing, including on difficult topics that require diplomacy and precision. Collaborate with IT to evaluate, implement, and optimize communications tools and platforms. * An interest in experimenting thoughtfully with emerging technologies and AI tools — staying current on what's possible while remaining clear\-eyed about their environmental costs and alignment with EDF's mission. * Communicate in ways that reflect, include and respect the full diversity of EDF's global staff. * Bring range: internal communications is the home base, but strong candidates will have the curiosity and capability to contribute beyond it. * Participate in advancing EDF's Organizational Effectiveness and Culture (OEC) goals, so people from all backgrounds and experiences feel connected, included, and empowered to address environmental and organizational challenges in ways that align with EDF values. * Plan and execute specific campaigns to support the change management process. * Additional relevant responsibilities as assigned. **Qualifications** ------------------ * Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in journalism, communications, public relations, marketing or related field.
