About the Role
The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) is a UK-based charity investigating and campaigning against environmental crime and abuse. Our undercover investigations expose transnational wildlife crime, focusing on elephants and tigers, and forest crimes such as illegal logging and deforestation for cash crops like palm oil. We also work to safeguard global marine ecosystems by addressing threats from plastic pollution, bycatch, and commercial exploitation of whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Additionally, we reduce the impact of climate change by campaigning to eliminate powerful refrigerant greenhouse gases, exposing illicit trade, and improving energy efficiency in the cooling sector.

Campaigning is central to our work as we strive to influence decision-makers for better environmental protection. To achieve our goals, we use findings from unique research and investigations alongside our expertise to proactively press for change.

The Visibility & Communications Campaigner will raise the profile and impact of our forest campaigns, working in a collaborative, creative, and mission-driven environment with opportunities for international travel. The role involves close collaboration with the Communications department to produce and share compelling communications that highlight the lived experiences of forest communities, expose environmental crimes, and influence decision makers at national and international levels.

This is a creative campaigning role combining storytelling, media engagement, digital communications, and strategic advocacy. The postholder will work closely with campaigners, investigators, partners, and affected communities to ensure evidence and voices from the ground reach global audiences and drive change.

Experience
Demonstrated experience in communications, campaigning, or media work for NGOs, civil society, or advocacy organisations. Experience working with journalists and securing impactful media coverage is essential. Ideally, experience on forest governance, environmental crime, or extractive industries, and supporting Indigenous Peoples, grassroots defenders, or frontline communities to develop communications is preferred.

About you
Excellent storytelling, writing, and editing skills with the ability to tailor outputs for different audiences including communities, policymakers, media, and the public. Strong digital communications skills, including social media strategy and multimedia content production. Commitment to environmental justice, human rights, and amplifying community voices. Sensitivity to working with at-risk partners and applying safe communications practices. Familiarity with open-source intelligence (OSINT), data visualisation, or campaign dashboards is an advantage.
