The Role:
IEEFA is seeking a Global Communications Project Manager for a newly created full-time remote role. IEEFA’s communications staff are embedded in five regional teams in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South Asia.

The Global Communications Project Manager will ensure IEEFA maintains a cohesive global brand and that cross-regional projects, campaigns, and assets are managed strategically and efficiently to the benefit of all regional teams.
This is a global remote position, and we welcome applicants from many countries. Due to local employment regulations, we are currently unable to hire candidates in certain countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Mexico, Brazil or Argentina. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
