Requirements

Applicants need completed secondary education and at least six years of relevant communications experience.

Demonstrated graphic design experience and knowledge of content creation and creative briefs are essential, together with confidence using creative software and AI-powered platforms. Fluent Portuguese and English are required. Basic Spanish is an asset, as is another UN official language such as Arabic, Chinese, French or Russian. Experience creating multimedia content for fundraising, and skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects and DRTV, strengthen an application. The role calls for collaboration, partnership building, innovation, strategic thinking and the ability to manage ambiguity and complexity.
