The International Fund for Public Interest Media (IFPIM), fiscally sponsored by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, is a bold initiative that seeks to distribute a new raft of resources at scale and speed to news organisations in low and middle-income countries around the world. IFPIM has received significant seed funding from the U.S. government, and several other international donors are expected to come on board in the coming months. IFPIM aims to dramatically increase the amount of funding available to support trustworthy, ethical, fact-based journalism, and enable the media to work for democracy. This fund will support media through this time of existential threat and aims to develop lasting solutions to the current media market failure. The Fund will complement existing efforts in the sector and will catalyse new money as a globally coordinated but fully independent vehicle that can activate quickly to provide critical funding and support to hundreds – if not thousands – of public interest media organisations worldwide.
The Fund is co-chaired by Maria Ressa, journalist, CEO of Rappler and 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Mark Thompson, former CEO of New York Times and DG of the BBC.
The Fund is committed to creating an inclusive work environment where diversity is valued and where there is equality of opportunity. We actively seek a diverse applicant pool and therefore welcome applications from qualified candidates of all regions, countries, cultures, and backgrounds.
Selection of candidates is made on a competitive basis, and we do not discriminate on the basis of national origin, race, colour or ethnic background, religious belief, sex, gender identity and expression or sexual orientation, marital or family status, age or ability. We kindly ask applicants to refrain from including in their application information relating to the above as well as from attaching photos.
Initial fixed term 12-month contract (possibility of renewal). This work can be conducted remotely. There will be an expectation for international travel for key events when it is safe to do so. The position is expected to begin in March/April 2022.
Commensurate to experience.
Please email your CV and any additional information (including concrete examples) on why you are a suitable candidate to careers@ifpim.org with “Head of Communications” in the subject line.
Please note that only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
