You will have experience working with international media, either as a journalist or a media officer, and a proven track record of working in vulnerable or fragile contexts. You will be able to travel at short notice - for up to half of your time - to lead our media response in humanitarian crises.

You will have strong people skills to build and maintain a network of international media correspondents in your region and to work with colleagues across the Save the Children movement. You must possess strong news judgment to spot news angles and unique stories and have the journalistic and technical skills to be able to pitch, research, and report stories for the world's largest independent child rights organisation. You will be happy working on stories on your own, more collaboratively as part of our team, and leading groups of journalists to cover our work in hard-to-access locations.
In order to be successful you will bring/have:
- At least 10 years' experience working in or with international media.
- Excellent organisational skills.
- Track record of working in vulnerable or fragile contexts.

- An initiative-taking, proactive, inspiring attitude with the ability to prioritise an unpredictable workload and solve problems quickly with limited support.
- Politically and culturally sensitive with qualities of patience, tact and diplomacy.
- A commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission, values and approach and commitment to safeguarding children in accordance with our policies.
- Additional languages including Arabic.
