30.) COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST – VFRC, IFDC, Washington, D.C.
IFDC has launched the Virtual Fertilizer Research Center (VFRC), a
global research initiative to create the next generation of fertilizers
and production technologies to help feed the world’s growing population
and ultimately provide food security, while protecting the environment
and ensuring the sustainable use of the earth’s non-renewable resources.
The VFRC is a semi-autonomous unit of IFDC with its own Board of
Advisors. The Executive Director of the VFRC leads the activities by
developing the research priorities and agenda, reviewing the work of
subordinate staff and collaborators, developing proposals, overseeing
project progress interacting with donors, etc.
DUTIES
This position reports to the VFRC’s Executive Director and is located in
Washington, D.C. The incumbent will work with the Executive Director
and IFDC’s Chief Communications Officer/Coordinator of the Information &
Communications Unit to develop public relations, communications and
marketing strategies to reach the VFRC’s target audiences. Duties may
include:
Helping to implement the overall communications strategy for the VFRC
Developing materials to be included in the VFRC and IFDC annual reports
and other communications vehicles
Writing articles for inclusion in various publications distributed
internationally to the agricultural, scientific and development
communities (e.g., interviewing staff regarding research projects,
preparing news releases about the activities conducted by VFRC)
Helping to create awareness of and enhance the image of VFRC by
promoting its programs and services (e.g., writing brochures and
booklets for distribution, developing promotional multi-media
presentations)
Editing papers written by VFRC staff, consultants and/or contributors to
the VFRC
Developing content for the VFRC and IFDC websites; determining what
information to include on the website; editing copy, video and
photography
Performing other VFRC-related duties as necessary (e.g., representing
the organization at meetings/conferences, maintaining donor databases,
actively participating in fund-raising activities, etc.)
JOB REQUIREMENTS
This position requires creativity and the ability to communicate
effectively in order to disseminate information to numerous audiences.
This job may involve the following:
Ability to communicate effectively through multiple media channels
(e.g., print, video, Internet, etc.).
Ability to glean information to be used in articles, video,
presentations and publications (e.g., interviewing staff regarding
research projects, assembling data to be used in articles, video, blogs,
publications and presentations).
Knowledge of editing skills and practices to maintain quality in VFRC’s
articles, publications and presentations.
Ability to conceptualize ideas for various types of promotional packages
such as brochures, booklets, flyers, videos, etc. The creativity to
design, develop and implement these concepts would be beneficial.
Ability to understand and apply promotional/marketing techniques to aid
in the organization’s ability to attract donors for its research,
development and field programs.
Minimum of Bachelor’s degree in Public Relations, Journalism or English
and 5+ years of relevant work experience. Degree and/or knowledge of
development and/or developing nations’ agricultural/environmental needs,
practical and theoretical research is desired.
DIFFICULTY OF WORK
This position requires a general understanding of public relations and
marketing principles and procedures and the ability to apply these in
effectively promoting the organization’s image. Occasionally these
guidelines must be adapted to a given situation (e.g., using the
appropriate fund-raising activities to attract donors). This position
also requires the ability to detect discrepancies in technical writing
(e.g., annual report contributions from various researchers) and the
ability to synthesize this material prepared by scientists/other staff
having varying backgrounds and writing styles.
RESPONSIBILITY
This position assists the Executive Director of the VFRC in decisions
regarding how to promote and what to include in promotional material
(e.g., content/distribution), and then helps generate, design and
develop original promotional concepts using a variety of media. Most
decisions are approved by the Executive Director, supported by IFDC’s
Chief Communications Officer prior to implementation. Work is either
self-started or assigned by the supervisor. Work is reviewed by various
levels of management to ensure technical content and accuracy. Weekly
meetings may be held with the supervisor to discuss objectives and
review completed work. Undetected errors may reflect negatively on VFRC
and IFDC and its reputation with their target audiences (e.g., clients,
donors, public). However, such errors should be detected upon review of
the promotional literature by the supervisor.
PERSONAL WORK RELATIONSHIPS
Frequent contact is made with one or more other staff members of VFRC
and periodically IFDC to provide advice/counsel regarding technical
reports and promotional activities. Frequent contact is also made with
staff, donors and industry to obtain and disseminate information and to
promote the technical services of VFRC.
PHYSICAL EFFORT AND WORK ENVIRONMENT
This position requires working in a normal office environment with no
unusual physical demands or exposure to hazardous situations.
Occasional travel within the United States and/or internationally may be
required.
