Independent Contractor | 12 months contract from June  2026 – with potential for renewal based on funding and mutual agreement  |  Flexible with scheduled calls across multiple time zones.

Global Artivism is a Global Majority-led movement that engages the full power of arts and culture to work toward a just world on a safe planet.

​

We are led by those most affected by injustice, particularly from the Global South, ensuring the movement reflects the cultural and demographic reality of the world. We understand art as praxis — an active force capable of mobilizing people, shifting narratives, and reshaping systems. Our cultural work is inseparable from struggles for justice, ecological integrity, and collective liberation.

​

The movement connects artists, cultural workers, and activists across regions, building the infrastructure, relationships, and resources for Artivism to lead lasting change.

Core Principles & Structure

These principles shape how the movement works, how decisions are made, and what is asked of those who join.

• Global Majority Leadership and South–South Solidarity.
• Distributed Power and Fluid Leadership.
• Artists at the Center, Culture as Strategy.
• Intersectional and Community-Centered.
• Trust Before Scale.
• Emergence as Method.
• Transparency and Accountability.
   

Global Artivism is governed by a Global Council representing artists, activists, and movement builders from across regions. The Movement Secretariat is the coordination team that supports the Council operationally.

The Engagement

Global Artivism is contracting a senior communications professional to build and lead its communications function from the ground up. The contractor will shape how the movement shares its story, develops its public presence, and engages with diverse audiences across the Global South and beyond.

Over time, this engagement will shape and support a growing communications capacity.

The contractor sets their own working hours and methods, may provide services to other clients, and is responsible for their own taxes, insurance, and any local registrations or compliance requirements in their country of residence.

Coordination Relationships

• The contractor will coordinate primarily with Executive Leadership, and will work alongside the Community and Partnerships Director, Program Specialists and Coordinators, Global Council and Committees, and specialized partners on agreed deliverables.

About LEEP

LEEP is an impact-driven, evidence-based nonprofit that aims to eliminate childhood lead poisoning, which affects an estimated one in three children worldwide. We primarily focus on one important source of exposure: lead paint. Our paint programs involve generating data, supporting governments with the introduction and enforcement of regulation, and assisting manufacturers in switching to lead-free paints. Beyond our paint programs, we are piloting interventions to address other sources of lead exposure, such as spices and cosmetics.

Since our founding in September 2020:

• We have initiated lead paint elimination programs in 40 countries; completed 33 paint studies; and agreed on goals to establish lead paint regulation with government agencies in 18 (e.g., Angola). 
• We’ve made crucial progress in engaging with manufacturers in 22 countries (e.g., Pakistan), and in reducing the lead paint market share in Ghana, Malawi and Pakistan. 
• Founders Pledge estimates that it costs $1.66 to prevent one child’s lead exposure (in expectation) through our work, making LEEP one of its most cost-effective nonprofit recommendations. Our own analysis estimates that it costs under $5 to avert one DALY equivalent through LEEP’s first 13 established programs.
• We are a partner of the WHO and UN Environment Programme’s Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint and a member of the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future.
• We have received grants from major grantmaking organisations, including Founders Pledge, Coefficient Giving, Bloomberg Philanthropies, USAID, and Schmidt Futures.
