About BCI

The Blockchain & Climate Institute (BCI) is an international volunteer-led nonprofit organisation advancing the use of blockchain and emerging technologies to support global climate action. BCI collaborates with UN agencies, government stakeholders, and international standards bodies to shape policy, develop technical frameworks, and promote sustainable innovation.

Role Overview

The Senior Communications Manager plays a central role in executing BCI’s communications strategy, leading multi-platform content campaigns, and ensuring consistent, high-quality storytelling across digital, editorial, and media touchpoints. This position sits within the Communications Branch and works closely with the Head of Communications to turn strategic goals into concrete outputs — from global policy initiatives to public campaigns and major events like COP.

This is a leadership position within the comms team, responsible for supervising junior volunteers, coordinating across teams, and helping shape the voice and visibility of the organisation.

Key Responsibilities :

Campaigns & Content Leadership

  • Lead the development and execution of content campaigns aligned with BCI priorities, including COP engagement, flagship initiatives, and climate-tech policy
  • Act as managing editor for BCI’s blog and newsletters
  • Write and edit content across platforms, ensuring clarity, tone, and policy alignment
  • Support the production of web and visual materials in coordination with designers and developers
  • Collaborate with the Head of Communications on key speeches, editorials, and organisational statements

Project & Platform Management

  • Coordinate cross-platform storytelling across website, social media, editorial, and events
  • Manage campaign timelines, creative workflows, and volunteer assignments
  • Ensure that all content is accessible, mobile-friendly, and aligned with BCI’s branding
  • Maintain oversight of internal content calendars and deadlines
  • Strategic Communications

  • Translate organisational strategy into actionable communications initiatives
  • Monitor developments in climate policy, climate finance, and emerging technology to inform messaging and identify timely opportunities
  • Contribute to media outreach and press activities, including drafting releases or backgrounders
  • Support narrative development for partnership proposals, external speaking opportunities, and multilateral engagements
  • Team Collaboration

  • Mentor Communications Officers, copywriters, and content volunteers
  • Provide feedback and guidance on writing, formatting, and visual storytelling
  • Coordinate with the PR & Media team, Web team, and Research contributors to ensure cohesive messaging
  • Serve as a key point of contact for internal requests related to content development and comms support
  • Requirements

    Skills & Experience

  • Proven experience leading communications campaigns
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and storytelling skills across formats (digital, media, longform)
  • Strong organizational and project management capabilities
  • Demonstrated ability to guide junior team members and collaborate across functions
  • Familiarity with climate change policy, climate finance, or emerging technologies is strongly preferred
  • Comfort navigating cross-cultural, global communications and managing remote workflows
  • Technical Tools

  • Proficiency with content management systems (WordPress preferred)
  • Experience using collaborative tools like Trello or Teams
  • Education & Training

  • Degree in Communications, Journalism, Public Policy, or related field preferred
  • Relevant training or experience in nonprofit communications, sustainability, or global affairs
  • Benefits
