About CIVICUS
CIVICUS exists to defend people power. As a growing global alliance of over 15,000 members in over 175 countries, we work together to monitor violations of basic civic freedoms, call out the perpetrators of violations and strengthen the power of people to organise by supporting a more accountable, effective and innovative civil society. We strive to promote excluded voices, especially from the Global South.

The Media Advisor will support the design and execution of cross-organisational priorities in relation to advocacy, communications and campaigns, as agreed by the Senior Leadership Team, while also collaborating with various CIVICUS teams and networks to improve media engagement on key areas of CIVICUS’ mandate and priority issues across the alliance. The role will collaborate closely with the CIVICUS communications team and will be guided by the organisational communications strategy.
