Contribute communications inputs to funding proposals and help frame programme narratives for donor cultivation.
Lead the production of high-quality communications outputs across the portfolio, including project briefs, plain-language summaries, case studies, blog posts, feature articles, newsletter content, social media copy, slide decks, talking points, annual and periodic impact reports, and internal communications.
Keep all outputs consistent in voice, accurate in substance and appropriate in tone for the intended audience, and maintain the initiative's editorial standards.
Maintain a repository of core communications assets, including key messages, approved programme descriptions, bios, boilerplate and imagery.
Complete PATH's proofreading training; become familiar with PATH branding, style, and editorial guidelines; and ensure outputs comply with them.
Coordinate leadership reviews and approvals for high-visibility products.
Lead the planning and delivery of external engagement activities, including webinars, panels, roundtables, conference participations, and hosted events.
Manage logistics for speaker participation and convenings, coordinating invitations, agendas, run-of-show, and follow-up.
Monitor publications, reports, and sector conversations to flag opportunities for the initiative to contribute its voice.
Represent the initiative in cross-organisational communications forums and working groups within PATH.
Serve as the primary liaison between the AI, Digital, and Data Initiative and PATH's central communications team.
Develop and steward the initiative's core messaging architecture, including its strategic narrative, key programme descriptions, and audience-specific talking points.
Coordinate with project leads, external partners and other counterparts so that joint or co-branded communications are consistent, appropriately cleared, and mutually beneficial.
Provide light-touch guidance and coaching to team members on communications best practice.
Work with PATH's digital and web teams to keep the initiative's pages on PATH's website current.
Track and report on digital engagement metrics with the digital and web teams, and use these insights to refine the approach over time.
Explore emerging formats and platforms, such as short-form video and data visualisation.
