Job description

Jaljeevika is looking for a creative, articulate and development-oriented communication professional to lead the organisation's communication, content creation and programme documentation from its Pune head office. This is a role for someone who can go beyond producing content — someone who can understand development work, identify the story within it, communicate it with clarity, and create narratives that connect people, programmes and impact.

Location & Travel

• Pune, Maharashtra — head office
• Travel to programme locations for field documentation, photography, video production, interviews and story development

Educational Qualification:

• A postgraduate or graduate degree in Mass Communication, Journalism, Media & Communication, Development Communication, Strategic Communication or a related discipline

• Minimum three years of relevant professional experience, with a strong portfolio in communication, content creation, development communication, corporate or organisational communication, media, or documentation
• Strong experience in writing, editing, storytelling and documentation is essential
• Experience with the relevant tools and software
• Experience with development organisations, NGOs, social enterprises, CSR organisations or mission-driven institutions will be an advantage

Communication & Content

• Develop high-quality written content for organisational and programme communication
• Write and edit newsletters, reports, articles, blogs, website content, brochures, presentations and social media content
• Translate complex development interventions, technical knowledge and field experience into clear, accessible narratives
• Develop communication plans and content calendars at organisational and programme level
• Maintain consistency in Jaljeevika's tone, messaging and visual identity across platforms
• Support communication around campaigns, events, programmes, partnerships and organisational milestones

Storytelling & Documentation

• Identify strong stories of change, innovation, leadership and impact from Jaljeevika's field programmes
• Conduct field visits and document people, communities, interventions and outcomes through interviews, written stories, photography and video
• Develop case studies, human-interest stories, success stories, field narratives and impact stories
• Work closely with programme teams to understand the substance behind the numbers, and convert field experience into meaningful stories
• Build and maintain an organised repository of photographs, videos, stories, publications and other communication assets
• Ensure programme achievements and community voices are documented accurately and ethically

Digital & Visual Communication

• Create engaging content for social media and digital platforms
• Conceptualise short videos, reels, photo stories, infographics and other multimedia content
• Coordinate with designers, photographers, videographers and external communication partners as required
• Support website content development and regular updates
• Track engagement and learn from communication performance to improve future content

Organisational Communication

• Support development of annual reports, programme publications, organisational profiles, proposals and donor-facing communication materials
• Support leadership and programme teams with presentations, speeches, talking points and key messages
• Document organisational events, meetings, field visits and institutional milestones
• Strengthen Jaljeevika's public identity and visibility through consistent, high-quality communication

What We Are Looking For:

• Excellent command of written and spoken English; strong Hindi communication and writing will be an advantage
• Exceptional writing, editing, proofreading and storytelling abilities
• Ability to simplify complex ideas without losing their meaning
• Strong understanding of audience, narrative and communication strategy
• Curiosity to understand people, communities, ecosystems and development issues
• Ability to independently research, interview, write and develop stories
• Strong visual sense, and an understanding of photography, video and digital storytelling
• Proficiency in digital content tools and software packages
• Ability to work closely with programme, technical and leadership teams
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy

The Right Person for This Role:

We are looking for someone who can listen deeply, observe carefully, ask good questions and write exceptionally well. Someone who can visit a village, speak to a farmer or fisher, understand what has changed, find the human story behind the intervention, and communicate it in a way that makes people care. If you believe communication is not merely about creating content but about making development visible, understandable and meaningful, this role could be for you.
