About the Role
The Communications Officer will spend part of their time leading communications for the Re-Energizing Canada project and part of their time working closely with the Digital Communications Officer and the Senior Communications Manager to manage the Energy Program’s social media accounts, organize webinars, draft newsletters, and track analytics. As a member of the wider Energy Program communications team, they will also work closely with the Communications Manager and the program’s Canada-focused policy experts.
The Re-Energizing Canada project aims to shine a light on practical strategies for Canada to mitigate the risk of stranded assets, maintain economic stability, and protect Canadian workers and communities while facilitating the transition from fossil fuels toward secure, affordable, and reliable clean energy. The Communications Officer will also communicate about related topics, including fossil fuel subsidy reform, sustainable finance, sustainable job development, and greenhouse gas emissions in Canada.
The Communications Officer will be responsible for implementing and updating the Re-Energizing Canada project’s communications strategy and communications-related elements of the broader Canada Energy Transitions strategy, advising the team on best practices in communications and coordinating work with internal and external partners and agencies. They will write and edit editorial content related to the work of the program and strategically use digital channels and tools to reach and engage target audiences.
