 Modern revolutions happen on social media. The potential of IPPF to progress SRHRJ through this avenue is limitless. To advise and lead on IPPF’s social media profile, ensuring IPPF is visible and relevant, aligned to Strategy 2028, with support to ensure that SRHRJ is prioritised across new media.

Context of Role: The Senior Social Media Advisor is a role for a digital native who has taken brands, ideas, and organisations to the public via social media. The role holder understands how battles are won and lost online and who is adept enough at creating new frontiers for dialogue and debate, emphasising how young people want to engage with IPPF.

It involves bringing staff and volunteers on a journey across the most relevant or promising platforms, modernising how we communicate externally.
