Senior Project Coordinator – Media in Exile

Position description

The Thomson Reuters Foundation is seeking a highly organised and motivated Senior Project Coordinator to manage the delivery of grants and capacity building interventions for media in exile. This is an exciting time to join the Foundation, as the postholder will play an essential role in delivering an element of TRF’s expanding programme of support to independent exiled media organisations, which has grown substantially since 2022.

Exiled/hybrid media is an increasingly important feature of the global independent media landscape: as the spread of authoritarianism, restrictions on press freedoms and violence against journalists forces media organisations to leave their home countries to continue providing citizens with fair and accurate coverage of critical events. This phenomenon poses complex business, technological and journalistic challenges and TRF is committed to playing a leading role in supporting independent journalism to respond and thrive.

The programme of work includes a significant training programme element and a grant-making component, with a mix of long-term grants; shorter-term project funds; and associated technical assistance available to eligible organisations. This role would sit within the core project team and focus on the design and delivery of key programmatic elements, including a capacity building training programme and a one-year grant programme which fits within the wider programme for exiled media. The successful post holder will coordinate and lead the implementation of these, working closely with the Project Manager and Finance Team to ensure grants and training delivery are managed to a high standard and contribute to TRFs overall strategic and learning objectives for the programme.
