Company Description
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation comprised of 38 member countries, that works to build better policies for better lives. Our mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards, and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.
Most OECD Directorates support policy-making in developing countries, and two of them work exclusively on their development: the Development Co-operation Directorate (DCD) promotes coordinated, innovative international action by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries and improve their financing; the Development Centre (DEV) serves as a platform for policy dialogue between OECD members and partner countries, building on a multi-sectoral approach to help them find innovative policy solutions to improve people’s lives. They are working closely together, and with other Directorates, to help member and partner countries adopt a sound approach to development.
DCD and DEV are looking to appoint jointly a Digital Communication Officer to help increase the impact of OECD work on development online, including through social media channels. S/he will have in-depth knowledge about social media channels, creation of content, engagement strategies and monitoring. S/he will be fully at ease in digital environments, and will have a proven ability to source, pitch and create stories and to analyse and transform complex and technical issues into compelling and informative narratives. S/he will work under the responsibility of the Senior Communications Manager for Development, and in close collaboration with the communications teams of DCD and DEV.
