External Coordinator - UK Media & Messaging Press Team

Press External Coordinator [EC]

Our Press team is entering a fresh cycle of energy and action, with big plans unfolding over the coming year. Step into a role where your coordination helps the movement flourish and your work supports XR’s next wave of growth.

Press Team - Purpose
XR’s messaging to the general public and decision-makers is communicated accurately, loudly and persuasively through and with the media.

Role Description:

The role can be shared between two people, reducing the time commitment necessary.

The key role of the Press Team EC is to ensure the team is represented in the broader circle, and aware of that circle’s work and priorities.

Some of the Press EC tasks include:

- Representing the mandate of the team within meetings of the broader circle which is XRUK Media & Messaging, and asking another member of the team to attend when not available.

- Taking issues that can’t be resolved in the team to the broader circle.

- Exchanging information with other teams.
