Vacancy in Oxfam GB - Jakarta

Spread the word,
Change lives.

Media & External Relations Officer
Jakarta, Indonesia

Oxfam works in over 80 countries and has been working in Indonesia for the last fifty years to overcome poverty and suffering. We run a number of programmes to lift people out of poverty, to help people affected by ‘human made’ and natural disasters such as flooding, earthquakes and drought and do campaigns to help voices of the poor heard. We’re now looking for someone with a background as a journalist, PR consultant or media officer to help our national campaigns unit and raise awareness of our valuable work.

You’ll achieve this objective in a number of ways. Building strong relationships and alliances with international, national, and local media across Indonesia, you’ll develop a coherent media strategy while ensuring our key messages are clearly established and powerfully expressed. You’ll also build strong relationships with government, private sector, and NGOs.

It’s a rewarding challenge for a person who is fluent in both Bahasa and English, understands the issues involved, has a strong good-news sense and can bring a wide network of contacts with them.

To apply, please email your cover letter and CV, including recent photograph, to: jakarta@oxfam.org.uk. Closing date: 02 March 08
