Digital Communications & Campaigns Contractor (Part-Time)

About the role

Ekō is looking for a Digital Communications & Campaigns Contractor to support the digital communications work of the Insure Our Future (IOF) network, a global coalition campaigning to end insurance support for fossil fuel expansion and advance climate justice.

Working closely with the Campaign Director and partners across the network, you will help manage social media channels, coordinate content across multiple campaign workstreams, amplify partner actions, and contribute to digital campaigning efforts that increase public pressure on insurance industry targets.

This is an ideal role for someone who combines strong social media and content creation skills with a solid understanding of advocacy and campaigning. You are a strategic communicator who can translate complex issues into engaging content, work across diverse international partners, and help build narratives that move audiences and decision-makers to action.

You don’t need to be an expert in climate justice, fossil fuels, or insurance. We are looking for a strong digital communicator who can learn more on insurance and LNG.

This is a remote, part-time contractor position for an initial 6-month period, with the possibility of renewal and/or increased hours subject to funding. Candidates should be able to work within time zones spanning Europe to India. 

Compensation is competitive and will be determined based on a combination of experience, seniority, and where you live. (For some context: this position in Italy would pay €35-€40 per hour depending on experience, seniority, and location. In other regions, compensation will be adjusted for local currency and local market rates.) 

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to racial equity and social justice.
