For an emerging journalist or activist-campaigner with a strong political voice and a compelling pen.

You will receive guidance, feedback, and room to develop your own voice in alignment with Manushya’s tone, vision, and values.

  • Media and advocacy materials: Prepare press releases, media advisories, talking points, briefing materials, factsheets, and support media outreach and follow-up.

2. Digital Content & Community Fellow

For a creative, organised social media content creator who understands Thai audiences and online culture. You will work closely with the Communications & Programme Associate to keep Manushya’s day-to-day social media engine moving while bringing our short-form video strategy, focused on showcasing underserved grassroots voices and realities, and Thai-language content to life.

  • Social media operations: Coordinate the day-to-day content calendar; gather inputs and assets; schedule and publish posts; support communications data collection.
  • Digital content creation: Track relevant Thai conversations and platform trends; design and produce timely, accessible, high-quality English and Thai digital content.
  • Community engagement and collaborations: Monitor and respond to comments, messages, mentions, and tags using agreed protocols; escalate risks; and support collaborations with Thai creators and aligned organisations.

Shared Responsibilities:

  • Participate in communications planning, team meetings, and collaborative workflows.
  • Support live event coverage.
  • Other tasks as assigned by the Communications and Campaigns Manager.
