As a Media and Creative Content Lead, you will research and report on the Pakistan Floods Appeal accurately and informatively, producing powerful communications to support fundraising.

Providing weekly reports to colleagues on your progress, you will ensure content is available in appropriate formats and easily accessible.
Additionally, you will:
- Co-ordinate media visits, pitch content to journalists and respond to press and PR queries
