Join our dynamic and purpose driven team as a communications superstar
We are seeking a versatile and creative human to join the Life Itself team. You will be playing a key role in communicating about our projects and connecting with the community. The work can range from managing social media and podcast, to planning events and designing entire new initiatives.
Engagement Type: Contract
Hours: Part-time
Location: EITHER in person at our Hub in Bergerac, France OR remote – you can work from anywhere. 🚩 an overlap of at least 6+ hours with ~9-5pm European time is essential whether that means getting up early staying up late!
Compensation: Based on skills, experience and availability
Timeline: Apply as soon as possible! Flexible on start date, but the sooner the better
To Apply: Email jobs@lifeitself.org, see more details about the application below
Types of work
Some examples of the responsibilities you may take on as part of your role include:
- Writing and editing copy for our website, blog and newsletter
- Managing and growing our social media
- Managing our growing podcast and youtube
- Creating entire new campaigns based on specific themes e.g. conscious coliving, integral inner development etc
- Managing engagement with external parties e.g. reaching out to respected thinkers to ask them to speak at events, managing our email ‘front door'
- Researching and connecting with other social initiatives
We can flex the scope of the role for a range of experience and skill and time: we have both more basic tasks around social media management and the need to design entire campaigns if you have the capacity and aspiration.
One thing is essential: being a self-starter who is able to take initiative and self-manage tasks and deliverables.
