Dear Network,
We are seeking to recruit a Regional Communications Adviser on Disinformation to join our team in Nairobi.
The proliferation of harmful information observed in recent years and the demultiplying effect of social media, combined with limited awareness and sometimes malicious intent, can have a particularly nefarious impact on already vulnerable communities and also on humanitarian workers.
The Regional Communications Adviser on Disinformation will play a key role in supporting and training our teams in a dozen countries, identifying solutions, developing strategies and producing tailored content.
We are looking for an experienced professional with in-depth knowledge of regional and country dynamics in East Africa, and a proven track record in identifying harmful information, developing tactics to prevent its spread, and responding to it.
If you have experience working in this area -- for a fact-checking organisation, a humanitarian organization or media house -- or if you know someone who does, please reach out.
Please note that this position is only open to people who have a permanent right to work in Kenya.
