**About the Role**
The Blavatnik School of Government is looking for a highly experienced,

of a new £30m six-year global research and policy effort.
The What Works Hub on Global Education (WWHGE) at the Blavatnik School of

and across contexts.
You will have editorial control of the WWHGE website; lead on strategic
moments for dissemination of messages and analysis developed both by the
WWHGE, its partners and the wider education community; leverage the WWHGE’s
strategic partners’ assets to maximise coverage; work with partners to support
communications efforts in country and across regions; and lead on branding.
You will also lead on the production process for reports, in conjunction with
a Communications Officer and in partnership with the Senior Research Manager.
**About You**
You are a gifted storyteller, able to creatively communicate the extraordinary
and innovative work of the WWHGE. You have excellent strategic and
interpersonal skills, experience of working with partners globally, experience
of writing articles and copy for websites, and demonstrable editorial
judgement. You are a self-starter, with experience of working in fast-moving
and demanding environments, and a proven ability to work in a collaborative
manner. You have strong project management and proven delivery skills.
Relevant work experience and demonstrable experience using social media in a
professional communications capacity are essential.
**Application Process**
You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, your CV
and the details of two referees as part of your online application.
