The Head of Comms will design and execute our comms strategy, working closely with the co-founders and other team leads to craft and execute a multi-audience communications strategy that is timely, targeted, technical, and sometimes viral.
We need someone to utilize modern social media channels, and to manage an external PR firm that connects our work with legacy mainstream and local media channels, depending on targeted audiences.
In addition, we need someone who can take our beautiful field work imagery, including photos and videos of geologic data collection, drilling rigs, and an operating power plant, and create engaging and motivating content that inspires excitement internally and externally for Zanskar and for geothermal power.
Success in six months will look like Zanskar being mentioned and/or included in most next-gen geothermal press, including in all press mentioning geothermal discovery, as well as significantly more engagement on its social media channels.
It will also look like more inbounds, including more opportunities for public speaking engagements, as well as larger inbound applicant pools for any open positions.
Longer-term success will be creating the measurement and reporting framework and metrics that capture the impact of our comms work in driving “share of mind” or success in key business objectives like recruiting, fundraising, and regulatory reform.
