Strategic Foresight Group wants to appoint a Communication and Advocacy Officer at its office in Mumbai to manage various communication and outreach activities in India and internationally.
What are we looking for?
Candidates must have a minimum Master's degree in any discipline and minimum 3 to 4 years work experience in media or public relations. They should have a good network of contacts with the media, track record in effectively using online as well as traditional media, superb command over English, and interest in current political and economic issues. Besides competence, we evaluate attitude and value framework of the candidates. SFG is a value driven entity and we want to ensure that all our team members share a certain value premise. The age limit is 35 years at maximum. This is a full time Communication function and should not be confused with research functions at SFG.
Strategic Foresight Group has emerged as one of the most creative think-tanks in the world. Our work has been discussed in the United Nations, House of Commons, House of Lords, Indian Parliament, European Parliament, World Economic Forum (Davos) and other important institutions. It has been quoted in some 1700-1800 newspapers and media sources from 70-80 countries including The Economist, Financial Times, The Guardian, International Herlad Tribune, Newsweek, New York Times, CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC World Television and almost all major publications in India and large parts of Asia. Since SFG already has a worldwide media profile, we will look for creative ideas from Communications Officer to enhance it further.
What do we offer?
Besides decent salary, we offer a platform for growth and learning. You will be a part of a dynamic young team that is exploring new approaches to understand the world every day. The learning curve is steep. The atmosphere is very friendly, creative and constructive. Job satisfaction is very high. Moreover, you will be part of a team that is making real change to policies of governments of important countries. At a young age, you will actually make a difference, a measurable one, something to cherish for the rest of your life.
Starting salary is decent. The increments are ad hoc, and completely driven by merit and performance. The remuneration is designed for Mumbai residents, and therefore we do not offer any housing assistance. Outstation candidates who want to shift to Mumbai for jobs with us must make their own accommodation arrangements in Western suburbs of Mumbai. Again, we can be a little bit flexible if the candidate is outstanding.
How to apply?
Please send an e-mail explaining why you consider a career with us. Your e-mail must mention your education, other training, work experience, your experience or interest in organizational work, your own assessment of your strengths and weaknesses, a few lines about your vision of your own future in five years time, your expectations of starting remuneration, and the situation with regards to your accommodation in Mumbai. You must have an Indian passport or permission to work in India - we do not want to go through the process of obtaining it at this stage. Please study our website carefully before sending in the application. We will look for your understanding of SFG objectives and activities in your covering letter which will be the basis for us to decide whether we call you for an interview.
All correspondence should be addressed to the Executive Director.
