• Integrated Campaigns & Branding: Develop impactful marketing materials that strengthen NCID's reputation and reinforce public trust.
• Advisory & Partnerships: Work closely with key stakeholders including national agencies and public healthcare institutions to ensure unified and consistent messaging.

What We're Looking For:
• A degree in Public Relations, Communications, Journalism or related disciplines.
• 2-3 years' experience in either an in-house comms role or a PR consultancy.
• A creative mind, strong writing skills, and the ability to distill complex topics into accessible, meaningful content.
• A calm, solutions-oriented communicator with a keen eye for detail
• Good understanding of social media platforms (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, etc.) and what content performs best on each.
• Some Hands-on experience with social media management tools (e.g. Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Meta Business Suite).
• Proficient in basic content creation and editing tools (e.g. Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, CapCut).
• Knowledge of social media best practices, trends, and algorithms
