At a time when the energy transition is reshaping economies and societies, our mission to transform the governance of natural resources has never been more urgent.

We are seeking a Communications Director to spearhead the evolution of our global communications. This is a unique opportunity to leverage a team of committed, passionate experts with a shared vision for more strategic communications to drive and accelerate the impact of our work. We seek a leader and thought partner to bring these ambitions to life and to ensure we shape public debate and policy from the community level to the global stage.

• Build a movement: You will embed communications consideration and action across the organization, empowering staff and partners around the world to tell stories that inspire action, shift narratives and upend power imbalances.

What We’re Looking For 

• At least 10 years of experience in strategic communications, advocacy, and/or influence roles, including senior leadership experience in a global organization.
• A proven record of translating complex ideas into compelling messages, shaping narratives, targeting decision-makers, and leveraging communication to achieve measurable impact.
• Strong organizational leader with exceptional management skills, practiced in data-driven decision making.
• Experience with fundraising and staff capacity development and mentorship. High level of emotional intelligence and cultural competence, ability to secure buy-in and make tough decisions to advance communications impact.
• Fluency in English is required; additional fluency in French, Spanish, or Arabic is highly desirable.
