Key Responsibilities
- Campaign planning & calendaring: Initiate and maintain an integrated advocacy calendar covering priority campaigns, key dates, content opportunities, policy developments, coalition actions, and mobilizations.
- Social media & content planning: Develop regular campaign content plans and coordinate with volunteers on social media posts, explainers, statements, petitions, videos, and other advocacy materials.
- Campaign coordination: Develop campaign plans, objectives, timelines, stakeholder maps, key messages, calls to action, and action trackers.
- Coalition building: Serve as secretariat for conservation coalitions, including partner communications, meetings, documentation, databases, and follow-through.

Part-Time Engagement
The position is designed as an approximately 20-hour-per-week consultancy, with flexibility in how hours are distributed across the week.
The Coordinator is expected to maintain consistent weekly engagement rather than operate on an on-call basis. Time will be dedicated to active campaign implementation as well as forward planning, research, coalition organizing, relationship-building, content calendaring, documentation, and preparation for future advocacy opportunities.
The role is primarily responsible for planning, coordination, and mobilization, while content production and publishing will generally be undertaken in coordination with MGFI’s Communications team.

- 2–4 years of relevant experience in advocacy, campaigns, communications, coalition-building, community organizing, or related work.
- Strong understanding of campaign planning, social media, and digital communications.
- Excellent writing, coordination, and project-management skills.
- Strong instinct for translating complex issues into accessible public campaigns and content.
- Highly organized and comfortable managing campaign and content calendars across multiple issues.
- Comfortable engaging NGOs, communities, youth groups, advocates, and institutional partners.
- Experience in environmental advocacy, civil society, or public-interest communications is an advantage.
- Strong commitment to environmental conservation and MGFI’s mission.
Ideal profile: A highly organized campaigner, communicator, and connector who can keep campaigns planned, visible, partners engaged, and advocacy activities moving forward consistently.
