  • Maintain a network of strong, multimedia-capable freelancers and influential op-ed contributors across the region
  • Help produce Context-branded thought-leadership events including panels, webinars, salons, film screenings, etc
  • Represent Context and the Foundation at public events
  • Manage budgets for donor-funded editorial projects

  • Extensive journalism experience, including a track record of writing and editing features, long-reads, investigations and exclusives, and commissioning impactful op-eds
  • Experience leading global teams of journalists
  • Solid knowledge of news, current affairs, developing stories, trends and issues relating to Context's areas of coverage - climate, socio-economic inequality and the impact of tech on societies - in the Americas region
